Debug menu

This article is a stub. You can help Pikipedia by expanding it.

A menu written in Japanese with several debugging features is present in the game. Each option has a value, and pressing the A button will activate the option, with the specified value. The options, in order, display the following:

• Title screen. 0 means the Challenge Mode option won't be visible. 1 means that option is present.
• A set of Voyage Log entries. Set #19 is untranslated for some reason.
• Save game screen. Its value doesn't seem to do anything.
• A weird screen, possibly used to test, sprites, effects and buttons.
• Memory card warnings. 0 and 1 don't do anything, 2 warns that the card cannot be used. 4 warns that it must be formatted.
• Ship log selection screen.
• Unlocked Voyage Logs. Acts weirdly.
• End of day screen.
• Pause menus. 0 is during a regular adventure, 1 is during challenge mode.
• Final statistics.
• Title screen without background.
