==Model 3 version==
===Different introduction music===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=When the "Sega Presents" screen appears, hold both {{start}} buttons. If successful, track 29 (sd_song_shotstar) will play instead of track 33 (sd_song_adv_van). This only works if there aren't enough credits (and the game isn't set to free play), otherwise {{start}} will start the game.
}}

===Show credits in attract mode===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=
| desc=Hold {{start}} during the attract sequence, and the game's credits will overlay the fights. This only works if there aren't enough credits (and the game isn't set to free play), otherwise {{start}} will start the game.
}}

===Swap mode===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Press {{hold|{{down}}|{{start}}}} when starting the game to switch to the other mode. If the machine is configured to team battle, this will swap it to normal (''Virtua Fighter 3'') mode, and if it is set to normal, it will trigger team battle.
}}

===Use alternative outfits===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Hold {{start}} when selecting a character to use the alternative outfit. This will also cause opponent characters to change outfits too.
}}

===Fight on ''Virtua Fighter 3'' stages===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Regardless of whether the game is running in team battle mode, the game will always use ''Virtua Fighter 3tb'' versions of the stages. The exception is when a 2-player versus fight is initiated; if the challenger holds {{start}} before picking the stage, the original ''Virtua Fighter 3'' version will be used instead.
}}

===Fight on Dural versions of stages===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=If, in a 2-player match, the challenger highlights a stage and holds {{start}}, then lets the timer count down the Dural version of the stage will be used. This isn't possible if the stage selection setting is turned off.
}}

===Disable in-game music===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Hold both {{start}} buttons in the silence before the fight starts. This only works in two-player matches.
}}

===Skip replay and victory animation===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=As with previous ''Virtua Fighter'' games, pressing {{start}} will skip the replay, and {{start}} again will skip the victory animation.
}}

===Prevent skipping of replay===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=If the winning player holds {{guard|game=vf3}}, the replay cannot be skipped with {{start}} as described above.
}}

===Slow-motion replays===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Hold {{Evade|game=vf3}} prior to a replay, and it will play at a slower speed.
}}

===Choose victory animation===
Each character has up to seven different victory animations. You can choose which one you want to see by holding buttons after you win:

Buttons are checked in the order: {{Guard|game=vf3}}, {{Punch|game=vf3}}, {{Kick|game=vf3}}, {{Evade|game=vf3}}. If extra buttons are detected, they are ignored.

So for example, {{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Punch|game=vf3}}+{{Kick|game=vf3}} equates to {{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Punch|game=vf3}}. {{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Kick|game=vf3}}+{{Evade|game=vf3}} equates to {{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Kick|game=vf3}}.

===Peace sign victory animations===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=
| desc=Jacky and Kage have secret victory animations where they give a "V" peace sign. After winning the battle, hold {{Punch|game=vf3}}+{{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Evade|game=vf3}}+{{down}}.
}}

===Hit Kage in the head with a pan===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=
| desc=If using Kage's second out on Akira's stage, winning a battle with an "Excellent" and performing the peace sign victory code above, a metal pan will fall from the ceiling and hit Kage on the head.
}}

===Blow a kiss with Pai===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=
| desc=Get an excellent with Pai against Akira, then hold {{Punch|game=vf3}}+{{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Evade|game=vf3}}+{{down}} for a secret victory animation where she blows a kiss.
}}

===Change views===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb Model3 NewView1.png
| image2=VirtuaFighter3tb Model3 NewView2.png
| image3=VirtuaFighter3tb Model3 NewView3.png
| desc=Pressing {{start}} during a single player game will cycle between four different camera views: first-person, third-person, top-down and the standard side-on perspective. It does not work in 2-player versus matches.
}}

===Show button inputs===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb Model3 Inputs.png
| desc=Hold {{Punch|game=vf3}}+{{Kick|game=vf3}}+{{Guard|game=vf3}}+{{Evade|game=vf3}} when starting the game with {{start}}. Select your character, and when a round begins, a log of your button inputs (alongside how long the button was pressed in game ticks) will be generated on the left hand side of the screen (or the right hand side for the second player). The Dreamcast port uses the same system in Training Mode.
}}

==Dreamcast version==
===Partial [[clean pause]]===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US PartialCleanPause.png
| desc=When paused, hold {{X}}+{{Y}} to remove the paused text. Unlike most Dreamcast clean pause implementations, the background will remain dark, limiting its use.
}}

===Different introduction music===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=When the "Sega Presents" screen appears, hold {{start}} on both controllers. If successful, track 15 ("For You...") will play instead of track 0 ("Rowdy").
}}

===Use alternative outfits===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Hold {{start}} when selecting a character to use the alternative outfit. This will also cause opponent characters to change outfits too.
}}

===Use alternative stages===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=In a versus match, by default normal mode uses ''Virtua Fighter 3'' stages, and team battle uses ''Virtua Fighter 3tb'' stages. If the challenger holds {{start}} while selecting a stage, the "other" version of the stage will be used.

This means ''3tb'' stages in normal mode and original ''Virtua Fighter 3'' stages in team battle.
}}

===Disable in-game music===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=Hold both {{start}} buttons in the silence before the fight starts. This only works in two-player matches.
}}

===Skip replay and victory animation===
{{HiddenContent

===Play as the alphabet character in Normal mode===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC JP AlphabetPlayer.png
| desc=When selecting a character, highlight Akira and press {{start}}, highlight Lion and press {{start}} the highlight Pai and press {{start}}. Now select your character as normal.

When gameplay begins, you will be playing as the alphabet character with the moveset of whoever you have chosen. This code doesn't work in Team Battle mode.
}}

===Turn all opponents into the alphabet character in Normal mode===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC JP AlphabetOpponent.png
| desc=When selecting a character, highlight Akira and press {{start}}, highlight Lau and press {{start}} then highlight Pai and press {{start}}. Now select your character as normal.

When gameplay begins, every opponent will be the alphabet character (though with the same backgrounds and movesets as normal). This code doesn't work in Team Battle mode.
}}

===Play as Dural===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US Dural1.png
| image2=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US Dural2.png
| desc=When selecting a character, press {{down}} {{up}} {{right}} {{left}} {{start}}. If performed correctly, Dural will be highlighted. This does not work in the original Japanese version of the game.
}}

===Play as Dural in Training mode (NTSC-J version)===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC JP DuralTraining.png
| desc=When selecting a character, press {{X}}+{{A}}+{{start}} for "Silver" Dural or {{Y}}+{{A}}+{{start}} for "Gold" Dural. This also works when choosing an opponent (although if the match is Dural vs. Dural, the second player will use the alternative colour scheme).

This code only works in the Japanese version. The "normal" Dural code has to be used overseas.
}}

===Change stage backgrounds in Training mode===
{{HiddenContent
| noimage=yes
| desc=When selecting a stage in Training mode, hold {{X}} or {{start}} for the Dural version of the stage, or {{X}}+{{start}} for the ''Virtua Fighter 3'' version.
}}

===Turn Lau's portrait into [[Manabu Tsukamoto]]===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US ManabuTsukamoto.png
| desc=When selecting a character in Normal mode, highlight Taka-Arashi and press {{start}}, highlight Sarah and press {{start}}, highlight Lau and press {{start}}, highlight Kage and press {{start}} then highlight Akira and press {{start}}. This will turn Lau's portrait icon into a photo of [[Manabu Tsukamoto]], one of the developers of the game.
}}

===Make welding sparks land on your opponent on Jacky's stage===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US Sparks.png
| desc=Hold {{Punch|game=vf3}} and {{Evade|game=vf3}} ({{A}}+{{Y}} by default) before the start of round animation, and the welding sparks will land on your opponent, rather than further in the background. If both players hold, it usually lands on player one. It has no effect on gameplay. 
}}

===Snowman on Wolf's stage===
{{HiddenContent
| image1=VirtuaFighter3tb DC US Snowman.png
| desc=If Shun Di wins with an "excellent" against an opponent on Wolf's stage (the desert), a snowman will appear in the background during the win pose. You can only see it, however, if the camera is pointing in the right direction; Shun needs to face the sun on victory, with the shadow casting to the left of the screen.
