Ushio to Tora (SNES)

A game based on the manga series of the same name.

Stage Select Menu#

In Option Mode, on controller 2 hold the D-Pad Down + L shoulder button + A, and press Select to open the Stage Select menu. The programming for the button check is located at SNES address $00D209-00D222.

Fighting Mode Code#

When fighting certain bosses, hold L on controller 1 and X + Y + Select on controller 2, then press L on controller 2. If done right, the boss will stop moving and you'll be able to control it with controller 2. These are the bosses the code works with: Orange demon (Stage 2), guy in suit (Stage 4), one of the spear-wielding enemies (Stage 5), bald guy (Stage 7), guy in blue & hound (Stage 8).

Additionally, while this code is active, if you hold R on controller 2, you can increase/decrease your health by pressing L/R on controller 1.

Do note that this code cannot be turned off, so no matter who wins the fight, you'll get a game over and when you reach the boss again, the code will still be active.

The programming is located at SNES address $00B38B-00B3C2.

Invincibility Button Code#

This cheat is unused and not called from anywhere. The programming is located at SNES address $00B41C-00B444. It toggles invincibility after following these instructions: on controller 2 hold A + B + Select, and press L shoulder button.

Cutscene Button Code#

Another unused cheat that's not called from anywhere. The programming is located at SNES address $00B445-00B462. It displays a cutscene from the current stage after following these instructions: on controller 2 hold X + Y and press A. It writes $06 to memory address $7E00E6 (i.e., Pro Action Replay code 7E00E606).
