The GBA version of the The Fairly OddParents: Shadow Showdown game.

Debug Passwords#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • Figure out the effect(s) of BRNTHM.
  • Figure out the content of the top right debug display.

Through Hexadecimal editing, you can find four passwords: BRNTHM, 7B45XV, DNPYZQ, and BLVVVV.

  • 7B45XV makes Timmy invincible.
  • DNPYZQ adds a level select to the main menu. Press Left and Right to toggle the level to go to, and press Start to go there.

  • BLVVVV adds the name/number of the current level and Timmy's X/Y coordinates to the pause menu above the current level's password. The content of the display in the top right corner is not known.

The effect(s) of BRNTHM are unknown.

Version Differences#

Because The Fairly OddParents! was licensed by Viacom to Nelvana outside the United States, every mention or reference to Nickelodeon was removed or scrubbed entirely from PAL-region releases of the game and replaced with the latter.
