Metal Morph is a sidescrolling platformer for the SNES by Origin, a company who usually did awesome PC RPGs, that proves they shouldn't have tried branching out.

Hidden Developer Message

At the very end of the ROM is a message from Axel Brown, the project director and one of the programmers:

Dear Hacker, yes there are some cheats and other hidden stuff in Metal Morph.
Some are on the title page and some are not!! All standard cheats are possible,
you're just gonna have to find them, b-u-u-u-d-d-d-d-y-y-y-y-y!!!

The spelling of "buddy" suggests a cheat sequence of B, Up, Up, Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y.

Full Level Select

Normally, the "Start Level" option in the options menu allows only the first four levels to be selected. However, highlighting 'Start" on the title screen and pressing L, R, L, R, A, B, A, B, X, Y, X, Y will allow for all eight levels to be selected.

Free Movement Mode

During gameplay, pause and press Up, Down, Left, Right, X, B, Y, A. The game will automatically unpause, and enable free movement by holding A and moving around with the D-Pad.
