In addition to the five passwords revealed in game, a number of others also affect the game. While all codes exist in both ROMs, some only function in the Japanese version:

Note that ''Ristar'' only checks the leftmost letters for codes, so if a code isn't six letters long, it does not matter what the remaining letters are set to. For example, the <tt>STAR</tt> code can be written as <tt>STARS</tt> or <tt>STARRY</tt> and have the same effect.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Bonus jewel in Planet Sonata's mini-boss

Ristar MD 4-1BonusJewel.png

If the mini-boss of Planet Sonata is defeated before the first wave of Chibis appear, an Umotomat will fly in from the right and drop a Yellow Jewel worth 10,000 points. As the bobbing heads move quickly in randomised patterns, this is incredibly difficult to do, though a player with quick-enough reflexes can land three hits on one of the heads during the mini-boss intro.
