[[File:DebugMenuMain.png|thumb|The debug menu in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
The '''debug menu''' is an element of development that was left in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Within the menu, the player has control over almost all aspects of the game, including [[non-playable character]]s, [[non-playable stage]]s, [[single player stage]]s, special CPU behaviors, and more. In order to get to the debug menu on the [[GameCube]], an [[Action Replay]] device must be used. On the [[Wii]], Ocarina codes may be used if the right MIOS modifications are installed on the system.

The stage itself is totally black, with one invisible platform in the middle. The stage has [[blast line]]s, but the game will crash long before reaching them, most likely due to both the character's and the camera's y axis value exceeding its bounds.
|-
| '''[[TEST]]''' || style="text-align:center"|001 || style="text-align:center"|— || None- Debug Menu Only || A debug stage that features oddly shaped platforms and a low resolution picture of a bar as the background. It is unusually long. Also, ''{{SSBMMusicLink|Corneria}}'' music plays here.

It extends almost infinitely to the right, but oddly, it has an upper blast line. If Sandbag is not player 2, the game will stop loading floor and background textures after the 800 feet mark.

| '''CPTP_DEFENSIVE''' || Causes the CPU to only use defensive tactics, such as [[shield]]s and [[roll]]s.
|-
| '''CPTP_STRUGGLE''' || Causes the CPU to attack the nearest opponent, regardless of whether they are a human or a CPU. This is different from normal CPU behavior because - as previously mentioned - a normal CPU will dedicate its attention to human opponents, unless a CPU stands between it and a human, or if there are no human opponents in the match.
|-
| '''CPTP_FREAK''' || Causes the CPU to stay where they are, but attack when an opponent comes near. Used in [[Event 6: Kirbys on Parade]].
|-
| '''CPTP_COOPERATE''' || Causes the CPU to follow the closest human player, and attack them. (Or defend them from approaching enemies, if they're on the same team)
|-
| '''CPTP_SPLWLINK''' || rowspan=2 | Cause the CPU to only use their [[down special move]], even [[Counter]], [[Rest]], and [[PSI Magnet]], [[List of flaws in artificial intelligence (SSBM)|which they wouldn't use normally]]. They are used in [[Event 3: Bomb-fest]]. "SPLW" is an abbreviation of "Special Low", which reflects that the character only uses their down (or "low") special, and "LINK" and "SAMUS" obviously refer to {{SSBM|Link}} and {{SSBM|Samus}}, respectively, which reflects that they are the two opponents in the Event Match.
|-
| '''CPTP_SPLWSAMUS'''
|-
| '''CPTP_ONLYITEM''' || Causes the CPU to only use [[item]]s, as opposed to using any other [[attack]]s, as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} does in [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]].
|-
| '''CPTP_EVZELDA''' || Causes {{SSBM|Zelda}} to transform into {{SSBM|Sheik}} more often, as she does in [[Event 9: Hide 'n' Sheik]]. It is presumed to stand for "Event Zelda".
|-
| '''CPTP_NOACT''' || Causes the CPU to do absolutely nothing. This is not to be confused with "Stand", in which the CPU will still attempt to [[recover]] if knocked off.
|-
| '''CPTP_AIR''' || Restricts the CPU's [[jump]]ing height. This does not affect the height gained by the character's [[up special move]], meaning that this mode has far more of an effect on aerial play than it does on the character's recovery.
|-
| '''CPTP_ITEM''' || Causes the CPU to attempt to grab all [[item]]s that appear. Otherwise, the CPU is normal. This is used for CPUs in event matches like [[Event 7: Pokémon Battle]].
|}

==VERSUS MODE==
===DAIRANTOU===
[[File:DebugMenuDairantou.png|thumb|The '''DAIRANTOU''' sub-menu of the debug menu.]]
The DAIRANTOU menu contains options for operating [[Versus Mode]]. There are a few functions here that cannot be achieved in normal play, such as the ability to control Sandbag or go to Adventure Mode stages. One can also control Master and Crazy hand in this way. [[Sudden death]] will not occur in this mode when there's more than one winner.

*'''On''': Crowd Noise is on.
*'''Off''': Crowd Noise is off.

==DBLEVEL==
{{main|Debug menu (SSBM)/DEVELOP mode}}
Sets the debug level. Higher debug levels mean more control over matches and menus. Higher debug levels inherit traits from the lower ones.

*'''MASTER''': The standard debug level.
**Plays just like the retail game.
*'''NO-DEBUG-ROM'''
**Shows the date/time of the last build on the Title Screen.
*'''DEBUG-DEVELOP'''
*'''DEBUG-ROM'''
**The player gets access to debug game controls (see [[Debug menu (SSBM)/DEVELOP_mode|here]]).
**The player gains access to the Debug Sound Test
*'''DEVELOP''': The most intense debug level.

==IK DEBUG FLAG==
Determines if characters' feet stick to ground according to geometry and alter their pose in certain animations, when standing on a slope. The animations affected by the flag are marked with '''L''' and/or '''R''' on the righthand side in animation information display in develop mode. Whole character tilting, marked with '''T''', works normally regardless.

*'''0''': Characters' feet don't stick to ground in '''L''' and/or '''R''' animations.

*'''1''': Characters' feet stick to ground in '''L''' and/or '''R''' animations.

==EURGB60 SET==
Sets the game to output a 60hz TV signal if it isn't already. (and, consequently, run at 60 frames per second) Press A to confirm. Only in PAL.

==WIDTH †==
Its functions are unknown. Min=0; Max=30; Increment=1.

==NEW DEFCALC==
This option seems to have no effect.

*'''0''': Unknown
*'''1''': Unknown

==GLOBAL DATA EDIT==
[[File:DebugMenuGlobalData.png|thumb|The '''GLOBAL DATA EDIT''' sub-menu of the debug menu.]]
Used for editing global memory information. All values in this menu are in hexadecimal.

ADDR4, ADDR2 and ADDR are the memory addresses. They are all linked (they cannot have different values), but ADDR4 goes up by 4, ADDR2 goes up by 2, and ADDR goes up by 1.

U32, U16, and U8 are the values assigned to the memory address specified by the ADDR fields. They are also linked, but differently. The first 2 digits of U16 and U32 are always the same as U8, and similarly, the first 4 digits of U32 are always the same as U16. U32 is a hexadecimal representation of an unsigned 32 bit integer, U16 is a hexadecimal representation of an unsigned 16 bit integer, and U8 is a hexadecimal representation of an unsigned 8 bit integer.

==MODE TEAM TEST==
[[File:DebugMenuTeamTest.png|thumb|The '''MODE TEAM TEST''' sub-menu of the debug menu.]]
Most of the functions here appear to be named after certain programmers who worked on ''Melee''. It is unclear if the options within each menu pertain directly to each developer, but it does seem that each menu has closely related options. For instance, OTOGURO contains options pertaining to trophies and Melee records, while KIM contains introductory scene options, especially for single player mode.

==Trivia==
[[File:AirRidedebug.png|thumb|The debug menu in ''Kirby Air Ride''.]]
*''Melee''{{'}}s debug menu continues the music from where the game last was, so it plays the menu music when first entered and no music when entered after the results screen. This is because the game is not given any new instructions regarding music, upon loading the debug menu.
*''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}'' has a debug menu almost exactly like the one in ''Melee''.
**This coincides with [[HAL Laboratory]] developing both games.
*Hold {{button|GCN|R}} while moving the control stick to scroll through options much faster. This is useful for settings such as damage that have hundreds of possible values.
