Editing Debug menu (SSBM)

{{Disambig2|the debug menu in ''Melee''|general information|Debug menu}}  

The '''debug menu''' is an element of development that was accidentally left in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Within the menu, the player has control over almost all aspects of the game, including [[unplayable character]]s, [[Non-playable stage|unplayable]] and [[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.

| '''INISHIE2''' || [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] || Playable Stage ||  

| '''[[AKANEIA]]''' || style="text-align:center"|— || None- Debug Menu Only || A stage that crashes the game when attempting to load it. There is no known code that can force it to load. It is believed to be a {{uv|Fire Emblem}} stage because the music used to represent the Fire Emblem characters has the file name "akaneia.hps".

| '''VENOM''' || [[Venom]] || Playable Stage ||  

| '''PURA''' || [[Poké Floats]] || Playable Stage ||  

| '''BIGBLUE''' || [[Big Blue]] || Playable Stage ||

| '''1-1KINOKO''' || [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)]] || [[Adventure Mode]] || A side scrolling stage used in Adventure Mode. The game will freeze when the player gets to the Yoshi fight section of the stage, but there are [[Debug menu (SSBM)/Codes#Mushroom Kingdom Crash Prevent|codes]] to prevent this. Touching the flagpole ends the match.

| '''1-2CASTLE''' || [[Princess Peach's Castle]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Princess Peach's Castle used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Mario (or Luigi) and Peach here. Plays Rainbow Cruise music.

| '''3-1MEIKYU''' || [[Underground Maze]] || Adventure Mode || A side scrolling stage used in Adventure Mode. The game will freeze when the player encounters any of the Link fights, but there are [[Debug menu (SSBM)/Codes#Underground Maze Crash Prevent|codes]] to prevent this. Touching the [[Triforce]] ends the match.

| '''3-2SHRINE''' || [[Temple]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Temple used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Zelda here. Plays Great Bay music. This stage also used in [[Event 29: Triforce Gathering]].

| '''4-1ZEBES''' || [[Brinstar]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Brinstar used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Samus here. There is a chance that Brinstar Depths music will play.  

| '''4-2DASSYUT''' || [[Brinstar Escape Shaft]] || Adventure Mode || A vertical scrolling stage used in Adventure Mode. Touching the platform at the top ends the match.

| '''5-1GREENS''' || [[Green Greens]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Green Greens used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Kirby here. There is a chance that Fountain of Dreams music will play.  

| '''5-2GREENS''' || [[Green Greens]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Green Greens used in Adventure Mode. The player fights a horde of Kirby here.  

| '''5-3GREENS''' || [[Green Greens]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Green Greens used in Adventure Mode. The player fights [[Giant Kirby]] here. There is a chance that N64 Dream Land music will play.

| '''6-2CORNERI''' || [[Corneria]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Corneria used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Fox (or Falco if he's unlocked) here. The Arwings are very aggressive. This stage is also used in [[Event 32: Target Acquired]].

| '''8-1BBROUTE''' || [[F-Zero Grand Prix]] || Adventure Mode || A side-scrolling stage used in Adventure Mode. Crossing the finish line ends the match. This stage is also used in [[Event 33: Lethal Marathon]].  

| '''8-2MUTECIT''' || {{SSBM|Mute City}} || Adventure Mode || A clone of Mute City used in Adventure Mode. The player fights Captain Falcon here.  

| '''9-1ONETT''' || [[Onett]] || Adventure Mode || A clone of Onett used in Adventure Mode. The player fights a team of 3 Ness here.  

| '''10-1ICEMT''' || [[Icicle Mountain]] || Adventure Mode || A vertical scrolling stage used in Adventure Mode. The game freezes when the player would fight the Ice Climbers.

| '''[[10-2]]''' || style="text-align:center"|— || None- Debug Menu Only || An unused stage, presumably meant to be a second part to the Ice Climber stage in Adventure Mode. It is functionally the same as ICETOP: it crashes the game when trying to load it, the same code can be used to prevent the crash, and it is just a clone of Icicle Mountain without music.  

| '''11-1BATTLE''' || {{SSBM|Battlefield}} || Adventure Mode || A clone of Battlefield used in Adventure Mode. The player fights a horde of Fighting Wire Frames here. The stage's [[gravity]] has been noticeably reduced.

| '''11-2BATTLE''' || {{SSBM|Battlefield}} || Adventure Mode || A clone of Battlefield used in Adventure Mode. The player fights [[Metal Mario]] (and Metal Luigi if unlocked) here. Plays Metal Battle music. Also used in the penultimate battle in Classic Mode.

| '''HOMERUN''' || [[Home-Run Stadium]] || Stadium || The stage Home-Run Contest takes place in. 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. This is because the trigger for the load is the Sandbag crossing a trigger line a little before the 800 feet mark.  

| '''HEAL''' || [[All-Star Rest Area]] || All-Star Mode || The rest area from [[All-Star Mode]].

| ''215'' || [[Goomba]] || [[Event Match]] || The Goomba stage from [[Event 14: Trophy Tussle 1]]. This stage is not typically accessible from the debug menu, therefore one must use the [[/Codes#Full Stage Selector|full stage selector]] code to get to it. Goomba is stage ID '''215'''.

|-

| ''227'' || [[Entei]] || Event Match || The Entei stage from [[Event 26: Trophy Tussle 2]]. This stage is not typically accessible from the debug menu, therefore one must use the [[/Codes#Full Stage Selector|full stage selector]] code to get to it. Entei is stage ID '''227'''.

|-

| ''248'' || [[Majora's Mask]] || Event Match || The Majora's Mask stage from [[Event 47: Trophy Tussle 3]]. This stage is not typically accessible from the debug menu, therefore one must use the [[/Codes#Full Stage Selector|full stage selector]] code to get to it. Majora's Mask is stage ID '''248'''.

| '''CPTP_ESCAPE''' || A standard CPU mode used in Training Mode (Denoted "Evade"). The CPU actively avoid interaction with the player.

| '''CPTP_NORMAL''' || A standard CPU mode used throughout the game (Denoted "Attack" in Training Mode). The CPU behaves normally, throwing out attacks and maneuvers, and targeting human players over other CPUs.  

| '''CPTP_NANA''' || The default mode for the partner [[Ice Climbers (SSBM)|Ice Climber]], so that he/she follows the leader, attacks with the leader, etc.  

| '''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_SPLWLINK''' || rowspan=2 | Cause the CPU to only use their [[down special move]] when set to {{SSBM|Link}} and {{SSBM|Samus}} respectively. 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.

| '''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]].  

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.

| '''COLOR SELECT''' || '''COLOR_1-4''' || Sets which {{SSBM|Alternate costume}} players 1-4 will use. || Min=0; Max=9; Increment=1

| '''MELEEKIND''' || || Sets what type of match will take place. ||  

| '''EXIT''' || || Starts the match. Pressing [[Start_Button|Start]] while on this menu will trigger this. ||  

The RULE menu controls extra match settings. It's options are found under the [[rules]] menu in normal play. There are not many extra options here, only the ability to set the time limit by the second.

| '''RULE''' || || Sets the match style. ||  

| '''TIME(MIN)''' || || Sets the [[time out|time limit}} in minutes. Setting this and "TIME (SEC)" to 0 will remove the time limit. || Min=0; Max=100; Increment=1

| '''TIME(SEC)''' || || Sets the time limit in seconds. Setting this and "TIME (MIN)" to 0 will remove the time limit. || Min=0; Max=59; Increment=1

| '''STOCK(CNT)''' || || Sets the number of stocks each player has for Stock Mode. No effect if used in other modes. || Min=-1; Max=99; Increment=1

| '''DAMAGERATIO''' || || Sets the overall Knockback Ratio for the match. || Min=0.10; Max=3.00; Increment=0.10

| '''VIBRATION SELECT''' || '''RUMBLE_1-4''' || Sets the [[rumble]] feature for players 1-4. ||  

| '''ITEM SWITCH''' || || Sets the overall [[item]] frequency. ||  

| '''STEP ANIM''' || Sets victory animations on or off. ||  

| '''PANEL HIDDEN''' || Determines if the back panel is hidden or not. ||  

| '''TEST''' || Tests the Result Screen. Pressing [[Start_Button|Start]] while on this menu will trigger this. ||  

*'''MASTER''': The standard debug level.  

Determines if 6-Player matches should be possible.

*'''0''': 6-Player matches are possible.

***gets their kind from the KIND SELECT->ALL_KIND setting.

*'''1''': 6-Player matches are not possible.

This option has unknown application, although it probably toggles the method of determining knockback.
