Cheat Mode#
There are two almost identical cheat modes in this game. Before the beginning of any round, there is a message with current player number will flash for about 8 seconds. To enable cheat modes, hold Select on the controller of the corresponding player while this message is displayed for at least 4 seconds or more. So, if you hold it later then after 4 seconds from the beginning of displaying this message you fail.
Once the ball appears, just fire it by pressing A for the first cheat mode. The color of the ball will turn red on the field if done right. To enable the second mode, hold Start on the same controller for about 2 seconds before firing the ball with A button. The color of the ball should turn green instead. Both modes are mostly identical and allow you to move the ball to any position of the screen (press Select to stop the ball, use the D-Pad buttons on the opposite controller to move it, then press Start on the main controller again to release the ball).
The only difference between the two modes is that the red one will be immediately disabled when you reach the final "Cyborg" table. The green mode will work on any table.
Debug Leftovers#
At the third table, where you must open the gates by hitting the triggers, just press A on Controller 2 to open the gates instantly.

Unused Graphics#

This needs some investigation. |
The girl on the game over and win screens seems to have a third unused outfit. Simply overwriting the used shirt tiles with the unused ones shows that it does indeed fit, though it naturally uses the wrong palette.
