Kirby Air Ride/Debug Mode

This is a sub-page of Kirby Air Ride.

Kirby Air Ride sports a very feature-rich suite of debugging options that were used by the programmers and testers during the game's development. The menus, data displays and in-game debugging options still remain in the retail games, but can only be accessed by using an Action Replay. The debugging features provide a wealth of information surrounding the development of the game and how the game was put together.

Enabling

To enable the debugging runlevel and subsequently gain access to the main debug menu and subsequent debugging features in retail versions of Kirby Air Ride, use of an Action Replay is required. This, in turn, necessitates running the game on GameCube hardware (the Wii locks up when attempting to load Action Replay) or in an emulator.

The codes that activate the debug mode are as follows:

Japanese	American	European/Australian
R4GZ-DXV3-19NVH 3XG3-3RCX-X7N3W	AW39-2M13-UZ7B8 EXC2-4CHV-NBCBR	H8G0-KAB3-ARJJ5 B7BZ-B8GQ-6Y6YK

Once enabled, all debugging features become available during gameplay, and the main debug menu can be accessed.

Debug Menu

In order to access the main debug menu, press X on the title screen while debug mode is enabled.

The debug menu (which looks a lot like the one in Super Smash Bros. Melee) provides a hierarchy of menus that configure the game with user-selected parameters, which can then be played and tested by pressing Start. Air Ride and City Trial modes can be configured with parameters not available through the game's menus, Checklist entries can be cleared, and hardware tests can be conducted.

For menu navigation, tilt the Control Stick up and down to select items, press A to activate an item, press B to move back one menu, and tilt the Control Stick left and right to select from multiple values for the selected item.

Development Log

To do:

There's plenty more of this dev log than the little that's been covered.
Perhaps also check the European version? Just in case, is all.

The background of the debug menu is a development log in the Japanese and American versions of the game, but is only a simple "alignment test" in the European/Australian version that shows text and an image aligned in different ways.

Development Log

05/26 Seiji Otoguro
Event [Item Bounce] Added.
Event [What's In the Box?] Added.
Event [Fake Power-Ups] Added.

05/17 Tōru Yamashita
New Course Colosseum5 (Stage Name:Battle2) Added.

04/30 Seiji Otoguro
Breakable Power-Up Box generator added.

Pressing up and down on the D-Pad will scroll through the development log.

TOP MENU

The top-level menu contains a number of sub-menus that can be selected by tilting the Control Stick up and down and pressing A. From within sub-menus, you can return to the parent menu by pressing A.

The sub-menus of the top-level menu are as follows:

RACE 3D MODE - Configure the game for Air Ride, City Trial, and Stadium modes.
RACE 2D MODE - Enters Top Ride mode with a debug menu of its own.
OPTION MODE - Configure Speed Help and audio settings.
PAL MODE - Only present in the European version. Configure the game language between supported European languages.
CLEARCHECK - Contains an option to mark all Checklists as complete.
SOUND TEST - A full sound test with features not present in the game's Sound menu.
RUMBLE TEST - Allows the user to test controller rumble patterns.
MOVIE TEST - Preview the game's videos.
MEMCARD TEST - Tests various Memory Card functions (will actually write to the card).
ENDING TEST - Preview the ending videos.
LAN EMULATE - Configures LAN parameters prior to communication.
LAN MENU TEST - Hardware diagnostic for LAN interactions.
SYNC TEST - Significance not known at this time

The contents of the menus may be different between the US, European and Japanese versions of the game.

OPTION MODE

This small sub-menu contains three items:

BOOST SELECT - It's assumed that this is the option for the speed help setting. Its settings are NONE, LOW X, and HI X.
HUD SELECT - It's unsure what this option does as it appears to have been disabled, but was likely to allow you to change the style of the in-game HUD.
SOUND - It is fairly obvious what this does. It contains four settings: MONO, STEREO, SURROUND, and DPL2.

PAL MODE

Pal Mode contains only one item: LANG SELECT. You can change the game language between English (UK), German (GM), French (FR), Italian (IT), and Spanish (SP). There are also two other options, JP > X and US > X, but selecting one of them just sets the game to English.

CLEARCHECK

There is only one item in here: ALL FLAG ON. Selecting this option will fully clear all three checklists in the game. However, the changes only seem to take effect if you leave the debug mode and enter the regular menu screen.

SOUND TEST

This menu contains a fairly simple sound test mode featuring the sound effects and music in the game.

SOUND MODE - Contains the options MONO/STEREO/SURROUND/DPL2/HAL DPL2. It's unsure what the difference between "DPL2" and "HAL DPL2" is.
LANG - Contains the options JP/US. Attempting to play any sound effects while US is selected will freeze the game. There may have been regional differences at one point.
FGM GROUP - Contains different Sound Effects Groups.

PINFO - Generic SFX played during 3D Game Modes (Different Stars sound effects, various City Trial SFX, etc.)
MAP_HEAT - Various sound effects that are played on the map Magma Flows.
MAP_DESERT - Various sound effects that are played on the map Sky Sands.
MAP_CHK2 - Various sound effects that are played on the map Checkered Knights.
MAP_VALLEY - Various sound effects that are played on the map Celestial Valley.
MAP_ICE - Various sound effects that are played on the map Frozen Hillside.
MAP_MACHINE - Various sound effects that are played on the map Machine Passage.
MAP_SPACE - Various sound effects that are played on the map Nebula Belt.
MAP_SKY - Various sound effects that are played on the map Beanstalk Park.
MAP_CITY1 - Contains the environment SFX played in different areas of the City Trial map (Waterwheel slide, Volcano dragons, etc.)
CITY - Contains more generic SFX found in City Trial (Stadium reveal, Event siren, Box breaking, etc.)
MENU - Self-explanatory. Contains the SFX used on the menu screen.
MAIN - More generic SFX played during gameplay (Pause sound, Kirby Exhale noise, etc.)
STAR - Contains the SFX for the different Air Ride Machines in the game.
GROUND - Contains the SFX played when riding different terrain (Ice, Gravel, Water, etc.)
ZAKO - Contains the SFX of all the Air Ride-exclusive enemies (Scarfy, Waddle Dee, etc.)
2D_MAIN - Generic SFX played during the Top Ride mode.
2D_ITEM - Contains Top Ride items SFX.
2D_STAGE - Contains the different environment SFX in the Top Ride maps.
MAP_PLANTS - Various sound effects that are played on the map Fantasy Meadows.

FGM - Contains the sound effects of the appropriate group. Make sure LANG is set to JP.
FGM STOP - Stops the sound effect that is currently playing.
FGM PITCH - You can change the variable to positive or negative numbers. Resets whenever you play a sound effect. (Goes up to 2400, seems to go into the negatives indefinitely...)
FGM PAN - Default variable is 127. Presumably changes the left/right balance of the sound. Resets just like the last option.
FGM SPAN - Presumably changes the forward/backward balance of the effect for surround sound. Resets just like the other two.
FGM ROUND - Still not sure what this does. Resets in the same way. Anywhere between 91 - 269 seems to break surround/stereo panning.
FGM VOICE MAX - Changes the maximum amount of sounds allowed to play simultaneously. (Sounds played after the cutoff point will interrupt previous sounds that were playing)
BGM - Choose from any of the songs in the game. Listed below are all the options.

LAN EMULATE

Believed to test LAN connections.

GC COUNT - Probably the number of GameCubes connected.
GC INDEX - This one is anyone's guess.

LAN MENU TEST

A test for the LAN menu.

GOTO LAN MENU - Takes you to the LAN menu. Doesn't require a broadband adapter to access.

SYNC TEST

The purpose of this option remains unclear, but there are seemingly functions attached to it.

SHORIOCHI - Default value is 0. Can be changed to 1, but the change applied is unknown.
SHORIBOU - Default value is also 0. If this flag is changed to 1, the game will display an unknown graphic at the bottom of the screen at all times (exactly like if R + D-Pad Right was pressed).

BOSS X - Unknown significance; not used in Vs. King Dedede.
NONE - Player is not controlled.

RIDER SEL

Specifies which character is used by each of the 4 players:

KIRBY

METAKNIGHT

Note that while all three characters are functional on all choices for VEHICLE TYPE (see below), King Dedede is only intended to be used with WHEEL_DEDEDE and Meta Knight with STAR_WINGMETAKNIGHT. Also note that selecting Dedede or Meta Knight in the CITYTRIAL mode will freeze the game upon start. Another thing to note is that Dedede is playable in most stadium modes excluding the destruction derby (he freezes). Meta Knight, however, doesn't seem to work in any of them. By using codes, Dedede and Meta Knight can be selected in the CITYTRIAL and all stadiums without crashing the game.

VEHICLE KIND

Applies to: CITYTRIAL, STADIUM

Vehicle types for each of the 4 players:

STARNORMAL - Hovering machine.
KIRBYWHEEL - One of the Wheelie-based machines.

This setting no longer has any significance, as the value it modifies is managed by VEHICLE TYPE (see below).

Specifies which machine is used by each of the 4 players:

STAR_NORMAL - Warpstar
STAR_LIGHT - Compact Star
STAR_WING - Winged Star
STAR_DEVIL - Shadow Star
STAR_HYDRA - Hydra

WHEEL_VSDEDEDE - Wheelie Bike (Vs. King Dedede)

Note that Free Star and Steer Star can both be used in 3D mode, though they're normally intended for Top Ride. They handle the same as Warpstar; the reason for their inclusion in 3D mode is unclear.

PLCOLOR SEL

Specifies the colors for each of the 4 players:

0 - Pink
1 - Yellow
2 - Blue
3 - Red
4 - Green
5 - Purple

RULE SEL

Applies to: NORMAL

Configures the rules for terminating the race:

LAP - Race the specified number of laps.
TIME - Race for distance over the specified time limit.
COIN - Unimplemented. Laps are endless, and attacking opponents would likely drop coins to collect like in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
FREERUN - Run as many laps as you want, trying to get the fastest lap.
TIMEATTACK - Race 3 laps as fast as you can. Differentiated from LAP by the game when it saves your scores.
FREECITY - Crashes the game if not on the City map. Timed City Trial mode.
TIMECITY - Drive as much as you want, and the timer counts up to show how long you've been at it.
ZEROYON* - Drag Race rule set. Standard play with no lap counter.
AIR GLIDER* - Air Glider rule set. Timer ticks up when you cross the finish line, but can only be terminated on Air Glider, Target Flight and High Jump maps.
SKY DARTS* - Same as AIR1.
FLICK ROYAL - Unimplemented. Appears to be a coin-based Stadium rule set, but that's just speculation.
HIGH JUMP* - Same as AIR1.
JUST GOAL - Unimplemented. Behaves the same as FLICK ROYAL
BATTLE ROYAL* - Kirby Melee rule set. Timer ticks down and the number of enemies defeated is recorded.
DEATH MATCH* - Destruction Derby rule set. Timer ticks down and the number of rivals KO'd is recorded. On defeat, players respawn.

DEDEDE ROYAL - Unimplemented. Same as FLICK ROYAL.
CHICKEN - Unimplemented. Same as FLICK ROYAL.
CONTAINER - Unimplemented. Same as FLICK ROYAL.

* These rule sets are for Stadiums, and affect the name of the event that displays when entering the level.

LAP NUM

Applies to: NORMAL

The number of laps to play. If set to DEFAULT, the lap count is determined by the selected map.

TIME NUM

The number of seconds to play, for time-limited games.

TEAM BATTLE

Applies to: NORMAL

Has no significance, but presumably would affect whether team mode was active. The game does not support teams.

ON
OFF

TEAM ATTACK

Applies to: NORMAL

Has no significance, but presumably would affect whether you could harm your teammates. The game does not support teams.

ON
OFF

ENEMY REQ

Determines whether enemies appear on the map:

ON - Enemies may spawn.
OFF - Enemies will not spawn.

Note: Configuration of this setting is required to play on the TEST course.

ITEM REQ

Determines whether items appear on the map:

ON - Items may spawn.
OFF - Items will not spawn.

VEHICLE REQ

Applies to: NORMAL, CITYTRIAL

Determines whether Air Ride Machines appear on the map:

ON - Machines may spawn.
OFF - Machines will not spawn.

TRIAL FLAG

Applies to: NORMAL

Setting this flag to ON will normally crash the game. However, the use of codes can allow the functionality of this flag. When enabled, the City Trial map will be displayed at the bottom left of the screen and replace the current track's map. Another interesting thing to note is that players are able to get off their Air Ride machines on any map. Destroying one's machine will no longer put them in an "unconscious state".

The codes that allow this function to be used without crashing are as follows:

Japanese	American	European/Australian
MNBD-1D8R-KHCZX	KH3Y-U2U9-MGNCY	EACG-PT02-3QHZ5
TGF4-KT9Z-7HA62	ZMWA-TN6C-07J8X	9PNJ-57C4-RMTN5
0JJ8-5CCV-A0E35	9JVD-RZ74-9T60B	22ZN-HWC8-N3BG8

ON
OFF

Applies to: NORMAL

Determines whether the HP gauges are shown as well as whether players may be defeated.

OFF	Players cannot be defeated.

BOOST

Applies to: NORMAL

Configures the Speed Help setting for lagging players.

0	None
1	Weak
2	Strong

BODYATTACK

Applies to: NORMAL

Determines whether players can deal damage to enemies and other players with a forward ram.

ON	Players may attack with their machines.
OFF	Machine collisions deal no damage.

MAP DEBUG

Applies to: NORMAL

Freezes the game if enabled under normal circumstances. With the use of codes, it is possible to enable this flag without crashing the game. However, the effects of this option remain unknown. It doesn't seem to affect gameplay.

3D Mode Features

While playing in Air Ride and City Trial mode, debugging functions can be activated while debug mode is enabled. Debugging functions are selected with the D-Pad, and additional features can be accessed by holding the L, R or X button before using the D-Pad.

Among other things, the debugging functions can display information in on-screen overlays; can show course parameters such as enemy spawn locations and route paths; can spawn enemies, objects and Air Ride Machines at the player's location; can grant the player any Copy Ability; can show collision information; and can manipulate the camera in various ways.

L + D-Pad/A

The L Trigger + D-Pad is used to navigate sub-menus while in-game. L + A is used to apply changes or select an option.

Start

Freezes all animations, but leaves audio unaltered. While frozen, tapping the Z button will advance the animations by one frame. Holding Z will cause the game to advance in slow motion. Pressing the combination of L+R+A will immediately end the current match.

D-Pad Up

Toggles the different camera views. The options are:

Static camera - The camera stops following Kirby and you can freely angle the camera with the C-Stick.
Dynamic camera - Just like the previous camera except it moves with Kirby. Pressing L + R will swap what player your screen is following. However, their sound effects won't play.
Normal view - The default game camera with limited angles.

D-Pad Down

This allows you to choose from a variety of different options that affect the current game such as spawning items. Pushing D-Pad down will go to different groups of sub-menus. Pressing L + D-Pad Left/Right will change the sub-menu of that group.

Group 1

This group directly affects your player. It has an ability select as well as a machine spawner. Pressing L + D-Pad Left/Right will navigate between them. L + A will select the option.

Ability Selector - Contains all regular abilities as well as the item roulette.
Stat Booster - Contains all of the Stat patch items like Glide UP and the All Patch. Selecting any of these will instantly increase that stat by one. Works in all modes. L + B will decrease the selected stat.
Special Power-ups Selector - Contains the 4 special power-ups. They are: The Gordo, Cracker Launcer, Time/proximity bomb, and the Super Quick Spin.
Machine Spawner - Contains every vehicle in the game. Selecting one will cause it to spawn on top of you. You can even select the unused and debug ones. They can even be spawned in non City Trial modes.
Dragoon/Hydra Assembler - Selecting one will play the animation of you collecting all three parts and give you the machine.
Hidden Stats - Shows various City Trial Stats like # boxes broken and # items collected. This is likely for the internal tracker the game uses for a few of its stat based achievements. CPU Stats aren't tracked here, likely so players couldn't cheese the aforementioned achievements.

Group 2

This group allows you to play any graphical effect. They are centered around your player. Play around with it and find ones that you like.

Group 3

Has the ability to spawn any actor in the game. However, spawning TAC, DYNA, or METEO outside of City Trial mode will crash the game. Similarly, spawning the generic enemies in courses that don't support them will also crash the game. Note that not all enemies can be spawned in certain Air Ride Modes. Pressing L + D-Pad Left/Right will show what is assumed to be the spawning coordinates or scale of the actor. Pressing L + A will spawn at the coordinates; however there does not seem to be a way to change the values. Because of this, actors always spawn at the start line. Or in the case of City Trial, at the City Wharf. Pressing L + B will spawn the actor a set distance away from Kirby, and facing him; pressing L + Y will summon the actor at Kirby's coordinates, and facing the direction Kirby is facing; and pressing L + X will spawn the actor at the coordinates and direction the last actor was spawned. Pressing L + Z will delete any manually spawned actors.

Group 4

This group only applies to City Trial Mode and possibly Stadium mode as well.

Item Spawner - This can spawn anything that spawns in City Trial mode like food, boxes, and Dragoon/Hydra pieces. They spawn in the same ways as the previous group, but pressing L + X will instead spawn the item at Kirby's coordinates with forward momentum in the direction the camera is facing. Interestingly, using this outside of City Trial does not result in a freeze. Instead the box merely states that the items are not loaded.
Event Toggler - This allows you to turn on (with L + A) and turn off (with L + B) a few different city events. Push L + D-Pad Left to get here. Note that these are not the actual events themselves.
GENE - Not sure what this one affects.
PATIMON - Causes the fake stat patches to appear.
BOUND - Makes items bouncy.
CONTENTS - Causes all boxes to contain the same thing.

Group 5

Music and sound modifier. Possibly allows you to change the current music track.

OBGM - Selecting this turns off the music. It can't be turned back on in the same way.
OFGM - Does the same thing except with the sound effects.

Group 6

To do:
Experiment to see if this still functions and document how to use it.

Possibly allows you to make and view replays.

Group 7

This group seems to have a function to set certain spawns at precise XYZ coordinates. Unsure how to make it work.

Group 8

No selectable options except "GM TIMECLEAR". Selecting this resets the clock to what it was at the start of the match.

Group 9

This group seems to have a CPU Monitoring function.

CPU (x) - The value in here corresponds to the CPU being monitored. Pressing the X button will go to the next value and pressing the Y button will go to the previous value.

-1 - Human Player

0 - CPU #1

1 - CPU #2

2 - CPU #3

*3 - CPU #4

*Note: The only situation in where a 5th player may be present is in the Vs. King Dedede Stadium if there are 4 players. Boss King Dedede will appear as a 5th player. The method used to spawn him outside of the said Stadium is to go to the stadium mode and set it to "VSDEDEDE", play on the stadium, and then go to Air Ride and set the rules to "Death Match" or "Zeroyon". The 5th player will still be King Dedede and uses his "DEDEDE" CPU mode.

CPU Mode

While not precisely indicated "CPU Mode" in-game, the second value after CPU(x) seems to be the preset AI program given to the CPU players. There are different values depending on the game mode chosen.

CITY - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the City Trial game mode. CPUs will chase Items, Boxes, etc.

RACE - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Air Ride game mode. CPUs will simply follow a predetermined path to the goal.

ZERO - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Drag Race Stadiums. Same as RACE, but they will attempt to go as straight as possible.

AIR - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Air Glider or the High Jump Stadium. CPUs will attempt to follow the straightest path possible. As they land, they will get off their machines and walk endlessly.

POINT - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Target Flight Stadium. CPUs will follow a straight path until they reach the end of the jump. They will then start going in random directions for points.

BATT1 - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Kirby Melee 1 Stadium. CPUs will follow a path to enemies and attack them. The preset path will randomly change and go to different enemies.

BATT2 - Same as BATT1, but for the Stadium Kirby Melee 2. Additionally, they follow a certain predetermined path on the map.

DEATH - This mode is assigned to CPU players when selecting the Destruction Derby or VS. DEDEDE Stadiums. CPUs will attempt to eliminate the port priority Human Player first. Once the player is defeated or is too far away, they will target the nearest player around them.

DEDEDE - This mode will only be assigned to the Boss King Dedede CPU in the Vs. King Dedede Stadium. King Dedede will randomly attempt to go in one of the four corners of the map. He does not target players, but he will automatically hit them if they get too close to the front of his bike.

Group 10

Seems to control the shading and color of the different players. It also is the city event modifier as well as the skybox modifier.

GROUND FOG ANIM - Contains all of the different skyboxes for City Trial. It goes from 0 - 18.
Ground Fog Anim 0 - Daytime Start
Ground Fog Anim 1 - Dyna Blade
Ground Fog Anim 2 - Huge Pillar
Ground Fog Anim 3 - Burning Rail Stations
Ground Fog Anim 4 - Fake Items
Ground Fog Anim 5 - TAC
Ground Fog Anim 6 - What's in the Box
Ground Fog Anim 7 - UFO
Ground Fog Anim 8 - Bouncy Items
Ground Fog Anim 9 - Dense Fog Event
Ground Fog Anim 10 - Fog Start
Ground Fog Anim 11 - Sunset Start
Ground Fog Anim 12 - Nighttime Start
Ground Fog Anim 13 - Dragoon
Ground Fog Anim 14 - Hydra
Ground Fog Anim 15 - Destruction Derby 4
Ground Fog Anim 16 - Destruction Derby 5
Ground Fog Anim 17 - Huge Meteors Incoming
Ground Fog Anim 18 - Lighthouse

(Source: Wumbus#5418)

GROUND EVENT - This is the event modifier. Its values range from 0 - 15. All events can be repeated as much as you desire unless noted otherwise.
Event 0 - Dyna Blade
Event 1 - Tac's stolen items
Event 2 - Huge meteors incoming!
Event 3 - Huge unidentified pillar
Event 4 - Super charged Air Ride tanks
Event 5 - Restoration areas appear.*
Event 6 - Rail Stations on fire
Event 7 - Boxes contain the same item
Event 8 - City lighthouse has turned on
Event 9 - Secret chamber in castle opened.*
Event 10 - Stadium Prediction
Event 11 - Air Ride machine formation
Event 12 - UFO
Event 13 - Rubbery items
Event 14 - Dense Fog Today
Event 15 - Fake Power-Ups

* Do not use this more than once a match!

R + D-Pad Down

Triggers the usual pause menu.

R + D-Pad Left

Cycles through 5 general diagnostic displays:

Mode 1 - Player statuses. Displays information about frame counts, player states and animation states.
Mode 2 - Additional animation statuses.
Mode 3 - Displays drift values, and has a bunch of "DUMMY" displays.
Mode 4 - Grind Rail information. Shows rail ID and percentage of travel along it.
Mode 5 - Displays all City Trial stats along with an acceleration graph for each player.

R + D-Pad Right

Displays an unidentified graph; possibly program status and memory usage.

R + D-Pad Up

Displays player statistics with various states of UI presence. The following stats are displayed:

Distance traveled - The in-game unit measurement for how far you've traveled.
AREA - The region of the course where you currently are. Affects what's drawn to the screen.
LEN - The distance you've traveled in feet/meters.
DIFF - How far you are from the person in front of you (if any).
RANK - The player's current ranking.

Note that these values are all zeroes in City Trial mode.

X + D-Pad Down

Cycles through 29 displays of world information. A bar appears at the top of the screen indicating which mode is selected along with some parameters.

Mode 1 - The default display. The world and actors are all drawn, but no additional data.
Mode 2 - The world is not drawn at all, but actors are.
Mode 3 - Particle collision regions are displayed as red bubbles around actors and projectiles.
Mode 4 - Combines the features of Mode 2 and Mode 5: world collision is shown, but the world itself is not drawn.
Mode 5 - Displays world collision information on a per-surface basis with a color code:
- (Pressing X renders the collision information transparent, pressing B cycles through different colorings.)
- Red - The surface can be driven on.
- Green - The surface is a wall.
- Blue - The surface is a ceiling.
Mode 6 - Combines the features of Mode 8 and Mode 10: CPU AI paths and object spawn locations are shown, alongside main path and rails.
- Blue - Main Path
- Brown - Rails
Mode 7 - Combines the features of Mode 5 and Mode 6: world collision color coding with paths and spawn locations; world itself is not drawn.
Mode 8 - Displays object spawn locations as small, red-green-blue brackets.
Mode 9 - Combines the features of Mode 5 and Mode 8: world collision color coding with spawn locations.
Mode 10 - Displays all path information used by the CPU AI as lines alongside course path and rail paths.
- Yellow - Path boundaries
- Cyan - CPU AI paths
Mode 11 - Same as Mode 10, but pressing the X button will toggle the lines on or off.
Mode 12 - Only a small region of AI paths is drawn. Mode was probably obsoleted.
Mode 13 - Player orientation is shown, and the world seems to be partitioned into volumes (possibly for events).
Mode 14 - Combines the features of Mode 2, Mode 5 and Mode 13: world collision and partition information is shown, but the world itself is not drawn.
Mode 15 - Uses an unknown partitioning scheme
Mode 16 - The world is not drawn, and pressing X will cycle through partition volumes, which are displayed as wireframe. There is an additional data overlay on the screen presenting parameters for the selected volume.
Mode 17 - Contains all of the features of Mode 3 as well as the applicable parts of Mode 5 and Mode 13: CPU AI paths are shown, and collision and partition information is displayed, but only close to the player. This is an optimization consideration when calculating collision detection.
Mode 18 - Combines the features of Mode 2 and Mode 17: paths and nearby collision information are shown, but the world is not drawn.
Mode 19 - Similar to 18, but with additional, unidentified volumes drawn
Mode 20 - Unidentified volumes and actors are drawn, as well as particle collision bubbles
Mode 21 - The X button toggles an overlay that displays camera information.
Mode 22 - The sky is not drawn, actors are drawn, and the X button toggles whether the world is drawn. The water is always drawn, and when the world is invisible, there's a transparent cube around the volcano.
Mode 23 - Shows collision bounds for particle FX.
Mode 24 - Grind Rail collision regions are shown.
Mode 25 - Combines the features of Mode 5 and Mode 24: actors are drawn, the world is not, and world and Grind Rail collision information are shown.
Mode 26 - Only the Grind Rail collision region between Heat Top and Castle Hall is shown. This may have been a special case.
Mode 27 - Actors and the Heat Top/Castle Hall Grind Rail collision region are drawn, but nothing else is.
Mode 28 - A blue outline appears around the sky. This may be the valid region for meteors to spawn.
Mode 29 - Unknown significance. Looks the same as Mode 1

X + D-Pad Left

Cycles through 14 displays of actor position and angle information. A few of these options will enable collision displays, which can subsequently only be disabled via X + D-Pad Right.

X + D-Pad Right

Cycles through 7 displays of actor collision regions, or "bubbles."

X + D-Pad Up

This freezes your machine in place and disables most of your collision. You can't pick up items or be hurt, but you can do ramming damage to enemies. If the camera doesn't follow your machine when you do this, press D-Pad Up. To return to normal, simply re-input the combination. While stopped, a machine can be moved on the X and Z axis by holding the L Trigger and moving the Control Stick. The machine can be raised or lowered on the Y axis by holding L and tilting up or down with the C-Stick.

2D Mode Features

Top Ride has a debug menu all its own, suggesting that this part of the game may have been developed independently from (and concurrently with) the 3D mode.

Window Captions

In the Japanese and North American versions of the game, the menu windows for the Top Ride mode use Japanese-language Shift JIS text in the GameCube's built-in system font. However, on the GameCube, the codepage used is based on the console's region setting, so on export (North American and European) consoles, the characters appear in Windows code page 1252 encoding. As such, any Japanese text becomes unreadable mojibake.

The European/Australian version of the game addressed this issue by translating most of the text from Shift JIS to ordinary ASCII (which is compatible with Win-1252), though still in Japanese.

This article will present menu options with the export consoles' on-screen mojibake text, their Japanese counterparts, the text from the European/Australian version, and English translations. Hopefully, navigating the menus won't be too bad with this page open in your web browser.

Example

In the screenshot provided below, the following Win-1252 text strings correspond with the following Shift JIS strings, which themselves translate into the following English captions:

Bytes	Screen Text	Japanese	English
8C 6F 98 48 8F DA 8D D7	Œo˜H Ú ×	経路詳細	Route Details

The same image, edited as Shift JIS

Note that this particular menu did not update captions in the European/Australian version.

Main Menu

When first selecting 2D mode, an overall menu will be presented on a black background. Its title will vary depending on the game version:

Japanese - Jun 26 2003 01:07:39
American - Aug 18 2003 17:00:00
European/Australian - Dec 10 2003 11:23:54
