The game has a debug menu with various options. While some menu buttons are replaced with graphics of friendly monsters, some are just a white cube with an index number on it. The top screen shows the information Build Dec 16 2006 and random music tracks are running in the background. Touching on a menu option makes more options of this category appear, selecting a sub-option and pressing the lower 0-Button confirms the selection.

To access the debug menu press Select + R + A while using the following Action Replay code when walking around outside a battle.
