An early text-based stage select can be accessed using the following Game Genie codes depending on game version and pressing  START :

  • NTSC-J: BZ6A-AAHG + AP6A-AZ9J
  • NTSC-U/PAL: BZ6A-AAH8 + AP6A-AZ2A

To navigate this screen, press A and C to select a level. Note that in the International versions, there is no text displayed as the font used for this screen has been removed, but the stage select is still functional.[1]

Slow motion

Pro Action Replay code FFFE05:08 will enable a slow motion mode, cutting game speed by half. Be warned, as the game will freeze after completing a stage when using this mode.[1]
