Debug Functions

Entering the code below boots the game to a debug menu and toggles a "debug pause". The former contains "warps" to many of the game's screens, while the latter contains several content viewers, much like the previous two installments, although by now most of these options have been disabled. The controls are independent of controller.

Debug Menu

TaikoCS1-debugMAINp4.pngTaikoCS1-debugMAINp5.png
TaikoCS1-debugMAINp6.pngTaikoCS1-debugMAINp7.png

Press Up and Down to navigate through the options, and Left and Right to switch through them. Pressing Circle or X selects a screen. Note that any of the warps will display sprites without transparency, and there is no actual input in them independent of settings used.

INFO

A configurations menu for the warps in the main debug menu. Pressing Circle, Square, Triangle, or X will leave the screen. There are seven pages of options available.

TOTAL 2 Changes the scoring and titles displayed in case one wants to access the total results screen.
RANKING Changes the names, scoring, and titles displayed in case one wants to access the name ranking screen.
BATTLE RESULT Changes the score values in case one wants to access the battle result screen.
RACE Despite being accessible, its options very likely don't work, as the 100M Race and Boston Marathon minigames are not present in this game.

"Warps"

The Debug Pause menu is the same compared to its previous appearance, and the "left shift" issue present in Taiko no Tatsujin: Doki! Shinkyoku Darake no Haru Matsuri seems to have been fixed. Press Start to display the debug pause menu and select options, Up and Down to navigate through the options, and Left and Right to switch through them. Holding L1, L2, R1 or R2 hides the debug pause.

Option Description
CONTINUE Closes the debug pause menu.
DISPLAY Display options, such as screen resolution and effects.
CAMERA Camera options.
LIGHT Light options.
IMAGE An image/screen viewer.
SOUND Doesn't work, instead disabling the debug pause. Presumably a sound test menu.
