Adventure Island II - Debug Mode Game Genie Codes (USA)

This page contains the Game Genie codes I have for Adventure Island II (USA), a game for the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). If you're playing with an emulator you'll typically be able to put these codes into the program directly through a built in option. Any of you who are old school and playing on a physical console, you'll have to purchase a physical Game Genie cheat device to use these codes.

If you don't see the code you want on this page, I recommend you return to my Adventure Island II Guides Index and choose a different section.

 

Full Debug Mode: GAKZKLAE
Start game to go into screen mode, press Start to see Options in there.

Debug Mode: PPSZXXPE
Read notes below

 

You'll start off in the "Scene Select" mode. This is basically a run-through of some various levels in the game, but I've only noticed that it plays the levels for world 1. Maybe I'm mistaken, I don't really know. You can choose the scene number by pressing left or right. Be careful, as the higher you go, the better the chance of hitting a level that you get stuck at.

Pressing "B" on that screen switches you to the "World Select" mode, which is an alternate version of the level select. It's simple, just select numbers 01-08, and you're off.

Pressing "A" on either of those screens will move the cursor down an option called "DEBUG FL". If it's set on one or higher, it will make you UNKILLABLE!. Enemies don't hurt you, the time running out doesn't kill you, and bottomless pits exhibit a type of "wraparound" effect during gameplay.

Pressing "Select" will bring you to a new menu with some different options in them, as follows:

1. OBJ: This takes you to a mode to view all the game's sprites.
2. CHA: This is a graphics test.
3. SOUND: This is a sound test.
4. ENDING: This takes you directly to the ending.
5. STAFF: Takes you directly to the credits.
6. WARP: Takes you directly to the "Skip one level" secret room.
7. ITEM: Takes you directly to the "Hudson Bee" room, where you get a free continue.
8. ...: Does nothing.

It will also pay to have controller 2 plugged in, as when you have the Debug Mode in the game on, you can do the following:

Select: Game Freeze
Start: Free-Roaming Mode
(Use the control pad to move. The 0 represents you.)
"B" (Controller 2): Change dinosaur Higgins is riding.
"A" (Controller 2): Pallete-Editing mode
(This can only be done in Free-Roaming Mode)
