In the Japanese version, hold A + B on Controller 1, then power off and on again the console (this doesn't work if you just reset the console).
Now, during the game, press Start to enter the status screen. On Controller 2, press A to enable the super fast movement or any D-Pad button to enable invulnerability, add all items, equipment and refill 255 MP.
