Debug Mode

Action Replay (GameCube) code

7JCN-6EED-J4X44
MF7W-W1TF-88GFC

enables a handful of debugging functions during gameplay, described below.

Alternatively, if playing on the "R3575_V0.15" build on Windows, create a shortcut to "TY3.exe" and at the end of the target field, enter in "tydev" and run the shortcut afterwards. Debug Mode will also be enabled this way.

Level Select

Pause the game, select Exit, then select Change Level to access a level select allowing access to any area in the game.

Coordinate Display

Press Z in the level select to enable a coordinate display in-game. On the Steam version, go into "Change Level" and press RT to enable the coordinate display.

Free-Movement Mode

Hold R during gameplay. On the Steam version, using an XBOX Controller, hold down LB during gameplay.

Testing Levels

Three testing levels can be accessed by using the aforementioned level select.

Q1 Testing

A very large test map used to test many different aspects of the game.

• 

  The starting area.

• 

  Three different pyramids likely used to test the rag doll physics used by the Quinkan enemies when they're defeated.

• 

  A square pool of water with a small island in the middle.

• 

  Same as the previous area but now with lava.

• 

  An area with most of the terrain types seen throughout the game.

• 

  An area used to test squishy floors.

• 

  A climbable wall.

• 

  A bouncy surface.

• 

  An area used to test walls and slopes.

• 

  Nine different platforms of varying heights.

• 

  An unused bug which can't be interacted with in any way.

• 

  Large squares of unknown purpose.

• 

  A Frill enemy from Ty 2. Ty 3 only uses the zombified version so the normal version is never used.

• 

  The Magmaquin mini boss.

• 

  A graveyard area which spawns zombie Frills.

• 

  An unused gate left over from Ty 2. Interacting with the sign on the left opens it and interacting with the sign on the right closes it.

Q4 Testing

A test map that takes place in Karlos' arena. Since the spawn point is underneath the map, a moon jump code is needed in order to explore it, provided below:

3A3A0724 00000100
423E4FE8 050E447A

• 

  The starting area featuring a wooden tower, a bouncy platform, a floating platform, and a warp flower which warps you in bounds.

• 

  A blue cube that can be seen off into the distance.

• 

  For whatever reason, Shazza's model can be found here in a t-pose.

Q5 Testing

A small plus shaped map.

• 

  The whole map.

• 

  Pressing the switch in the center spawns the Zs used by the large mutant lizard enemies when they are sleeping.

• 

  At the North section of the map is a fire effect which only appears when you're near it.
