You will be able to select any cutscene or level. Additionally, on Controller 2 use Up / Down to change the background music or Left / Right to play sound effects. In the US version, this cheat was disabled, but the code to get to the debug menu was left intact. Using the Game Genie code IAUKZLYA, you can access this screen after resetting the console. It should be noted, however, that upon using this Game Genie cheat, once a level has been selected and you die, you will start back at the "stage select" screen rather than being given the option to continue.
