Ranger-X

Ranger-X is a run-and-gun with some interesting gameplay mechanics that did some rather impressive things for bare Genesis hardware.

Cutscene Debug Mode
At a before-level screen with 3-D visualization press B + X + Z + Mode to enter the Debug Mode.

Now you can control the camera. Actually you are controlling your ship, its image is in the right top corner. Use the direction buttons to rotate the camera Left-Right and Down-Up (inversed), Y and X to rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise, C or Z for lowering or raising your ship, A or B to move it forward or backward.

Press Mode to exit the Debug Mode.

Unused Music
There is one more song that people commonly think is unused...

Japanese Easy Mode and Hidden Tutorial Level
While Ranger-X has an Easy mode available from the start, Ex-Ranza's Easy mode is disabled by default. To unlock it, go into the Options menu and hit A B C A B C A B C very quickly (the exact timing is still unknown). If you get it right, you should hear a sound effect. Choosing Easy mode and starting the game will bring you to the pictured tutorial level that plays the song at Music ID 9.



Currently. the only known way to get to the level in Ranger-X is through hacking/cheating.
