Debug Mode#

Action Replay (GameCube) code

7JCN-6EED-J4X44
MF7W-W1TF-88GFC

enables a handful of debugging functions during gameplay, described below.

Alternatively, if playing on the "R3575_V0.15" build on Windows, create a shortcut to "TY3.exe" and at the end of the target field, enter in "tydev" and run the shortcut afterwards. Debug Mode will also be enabled this way.

Level Select#

Pause the game, select Exit, then select Change Level to access a level select allowing access to any area in the game.

Coordinate Display#

Press Z in the level select to enable a coordinate display in-game. On the Steam version, go into "Change Level" and press RT to enable the coordinate display.

Free-Movement Mode#

Hold R during gameplay. On the Steam version, using an XBOX Controller, hold down LB during gameplay.

Three testing levels can be accessed by using the aforementioned level select.

Q1 Testing#

A very large test map used to test many different aspects of the game.

Q4 Testing#

A test map that takes place in Karlos' arena. Since the spawn point is underneath the map, a moon jump code is needed in order to explore it, provided below:
