This is a sub-page of Mario Artist Talent Studio.

Hmmm...
To do:
A lot of stuff and add more pictures.

A fairly robust Debug Mode can be enabled in Mario Artist Talent Studio.

Enable Debug Mode

You can enable Debug Mode by doing the following:

  • Action Replay / GameShark Code: 80196F9F 0001
  • NDD Disk File Hacking: Replace 00 to 01 at offset 0x10A85F.
  • Cartridge Port Hacking: Replace 00 to 01 at offset 0x98087 (You have to change the checksum in the header for it to work).

At least THREE controllers must be plugged in, and the third controller must be a regular controller (not a mouse).
If it is enabled, you should see DEBUG ON on the title screen.
