Quite powerful too, letting you save everywhere, mess with event flags, toggle every single powerup in the game, change energy and ammo current + maximum values, et cetera...

This is pretty impressive. Someone should see if all the events listed in this debug menu are used in game. I've played this game to death so I could confirm if a particular event occurs or not if someone needs help with that.

I wonder if Wario Land 4 has a similar debug menu besides its debug mode, since this game is based off of its engine.

BTW

There has been a rough translation done on the events list in the debug menu.

Wow, that's a hell of a menu. Animated and everything. I wonder if there's more? Or if similar exists in other games using this engine...

I'm going to dive into ZM this weekend and see if it has anything else besides the simple on and off for equipment.

That'd be rad.

If you can't open it then my apologies. That link was listed on the metroid database website as is and I posted it straight. I didn't think that maybe not everyone would be able to open it. Xenesis fixed that so my bad. Sorry about that

If anyone is interested ZM has code meant to completely disable the on/off switch.

Here's some ASM spam

CMP R0, #1
BEQ loc_8071C1A

loc_8071C18:

Are you talking about the on/off switch on the status screen? That has already been found though. It can be enabled in game by patching the ROM.
