Debug Menu Text

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find a way to activate these debug functions

These pieces of text can be found in the ROM. It is currently unknown how to activate these functions, if they even still work.

Unreachable Goal

In the minigame "Yoshi's Big Jump", there is a goal at the far right side of the room. It cannot ever be seen through normal gameplay. When you touch it, the goal fanfare plays and the game fades into the score list for the minigame.

The best possible score has been at 131.76 yds since 2010, to give an idea of how far this minigame goes. The room caps at 256.23 yds.
