Dragon Quest VI (SNES)

Dragon Quest VI
Also known as: Dragon Quest VI: Maboroshi no Daichi (boxart) Developer: Heartbeat Publisher: Enix Platform: SNES Released in JP: December 9, 1995 This game has unused areas. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden sound test. This game has a hidden level select. This game has a Data Crystal page

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: A debug room.

Debug Mode

Use Game Genie codes 6DEE-E488 6DEE-E7A5 and start a new game. Instead of beginning at the campfire scene, you'll enter what appears to be an underground tavern connected to several other rooms. Pressing L at any time will bring up an extensive Debug Menu.

Note that this debug mode works also with the fan-translated versions, though much of the debug-specific text is missing or poorly translated. (The translators were likely unaware of the debug rooms, and had to guess the context for the lines.)

Debug Menu

The debug menu that appears after pressing L.

• いんちきルーラ (Cheat Rūra) - Acts like the rūra (aka "return") spell for warping to different places, but it costs nothing, always works (even indoors and during special scenes), and gives you access to a lot more places (such as the debug rooms).
• いんちきリレミト (Cheat Riremito) - Acts like the riremito (aka "outside") spell for exiting caves, dungeons, towers, etc., but costs nothing.
• HP MP MAX - Maxes out HP and MP.
• レベルアップ (Level Up) - Adds experience points toward a specified party member's class.
• おかね (Money) - Gives your party whatever amount of gold you specify.
• ふくろにいれる (Put in the Bag) - Inserts one of every item into your bag.
• ひとじょうたい (People's Status) - Lets you change party members' status to "dead", "asleep", "poisoned", or "poisoned badly".
• ゲームじょうたい (Game Status) - Pops up a status window telling you:
  • Whether you can cast rūra.
  • Whether you can cast riremito.
  • Whether random monster encounters are enabled.
  • The place you'll return to if your party is wiped out.
  • リセットふっき (The place you'll return to after a reset(?)) It's unclear what this is for.
• せんたくせんとう (Battle Selection) - Lets you select up to four groups of enemies and a location. Once you make your choices, you fight them.
• タイルせんとう (Tile-based Battle) - Lets you pick a tile number and then face off against a group of random enemies associated with that tile (essentially a map region).
• サウンドテスト (Sound Test) - Plays sound effects by number.
• いんちきせってい (Cheat Settings) - Opens another submenu of cheat options.
