Pause the game and press Left+A, B, B, A, Right+A, B, B, A. The game will cut to a screen showing developers at Shiny Entertainment, and a debug/options screen. While the options are the same regardless of region, the system details and build date vary depending on the ROM and console being used. The options are:

  • Cheat Mode: Enables invincibility.
  • Start on Level: Press A and B to select a level, and  START  to play the selected level.
  • Freezeability: Changes pausing in that it prevents the game from dimming the screen or pausing music when paused, and only pauses as long as  START  is held down. It also makes it impossible to re-enter the cheat menu again.
  • Map View Mode: Use the D-Pad to move the camera around the level, and press A to move Jim to the camera's location.

The selectable levels for "Start on Level" are as follows:

  • 1 - New Junk City
  • 2A - Hell or Heck?
  • 2B - Snowman Boss
  • 2C - Evil Boss
  • 3A - Bungee 1
  • 3B - Bungee 2
  • 3C - Bungee 3
  • 4 - Peter Puppy
  • 5 - Slug for Butt
  • 5B - Helicopter
  • 6A - Prof's Lab
  • 6C - Chicken Fly
  • 6D - Naked Worm
  • 7 - Intestines
  • 8A - Sea Tunnels
  • 8B - Pod Races
  • 9A - Asteroids 1
  • 9B - Asteroids 2
  • 9C - Asteroids 3
  • 9D - Asteroids 4
  • 9E - Asteroids 5
  • 9F - Asteroids 6
  • 9G - Asteroids 7
  • 10A - Darkness 1
  • 10B - Darkness 2
  • 10C - Darkness 3
  • 10D - Darkness 4
  • 10E - Darkness 5
  • 9P - Psycrow!

One notable thing about this list (apart from the jumbled level order) is that there's no 6B slot - on Level 5, 6A is followed by 6D and then 6C, but the part of the level after the Naked Worm segment before the falling segment (i.e., the segment that ends with the first chicken boss) is not directly accessible, unlike every other area in the game.
