Unused Cheats

Below are cheats not normally accessible anymore. However, they can be restored with a GameShark / CodeBreaker code for the NTSC-U version of the game. This code replaces the cheat "Changes the player's field of view. ". Enter the following code and press the desired button combination.

Master Code (for console only)
901EAF30 0C07AB74

D02E6382 0000FFED
2020ED50 0011D948
D02E6382 0000FFBD

With the above code on, enter one of the button combinations below before inputting the cheat "Changes the player's field of view. ".

• L3 + D-Pad Up = Increases health bar by one.
• L3 + D-Pad Down = Hurt Vikki. Yeah. That's all this cheat does.
• L3 + D-Pad Left = It's unclear what this cheat does.
• L3 + D-Pad Right = Endurance Mode.

With Endurance Mode cheat active, this makes the text "Endurance Mode" appear on-screen. Unpausing makes you lose the level. You will restart with the text still on the screen. This unused game mode times your progress in the level. You will fail the level if you're not quick enough to complete the level. It's unclear what you may be rewarded with after completing this mode.
