Jaws

Jaws is one of many mediocre NES games. Oddly, it was done by the same developer who brought us the arcade version of Wonder Boy.

Cheat Mode
Press and hold Up + Left + B on Controller 2, then hit Reset to enable the following functions.

Sound Test
At the title screen, press Left / Right to increase/decrease the sample number (or Up / Down to use increments of 10). A plays the sample, B cancels. A two-digit number appears in the center of the screen representing the current sample number.

Normal samples are from to. Most of samples above will hang up the console. Sample number is unused in the game.

Debug Shortcuts
During gameplay, press Start on Controller 1 to pause the game. Then, press and hold one of the following buttons on Controller 2 and press Start on Controller 1 to get the corresponding shortcuts:


 * Map mode: A gives "You've hit Jaws!", B gives "You've hit something!"
 * Diving mode: A exits the mode, B kills Jaws, and A + B gives an extra nine lives.

Unused Graphics


Building and plane graphics that aren't used in-game. The building appears to be part of the map mode background. The plane is part of the sprite tiles, so it should be displayed as tiles somewhere to extend some unseen background.
