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.
Boot to Debug Menu 20120630 24050107 20120634 A62501A8
Debug Menu
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.
Page | Description |
---|---|
GAME | Changes general values for most of the screens such as song, mode, and players available. |
RESULT | Changes the score values in case one wants to access the song result screen. |
TOTAL 1 | Changes the songs displayed in case one wants to access the total results screen. |
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"
Warp | Description |
---|---|
OPENING | Displays a black screen. Judging by the name, it was likely meant to display the game's opening movie. |
TITLE | Warps the player to the game's title screen. |
ACCEPT | No longer works, as it displays a black screen. |
COURSE SELECT | Warps the player to the difficulty select screen. |
MUSIC SELECT | Warps the player to the music select screen. |

RANKING | Warps the player to the ranking screen. |
BATTLE RESULT | Warps the player to the battle results screen. |

Debug Pause
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. |
