The debug menu was a feature that was used by the developers to test certain aspects in the game, generally as an attempt to prevent glitches or errors from appearing, hence its name of debug. The developers never removed the debug menu from the games, however; as a result, hackers, through the use of devices such as Action Replay, were able to access the menu, as well as give any and all codes relating to the menu.

The developers never removed the debug menu from the games, and as a result, the debug menus can be accessed through devices such as an [[Action Replay]] or [[GameShark]].  


The debug menu allows a player to do many different things in the game that normally would not be possible, such as gaining access to any [[character]], [[stage]], [[item]], and [[mode]] in the game, including those not accessible through normal play. They can also view all the [[trophy|trophies]], such as [[Samus Unmasked]], all character endings, and other features, including [[Beta elements (SSB)|unused elements]]. Players can also modify the actual gameplay, such as causing specific items to spawn at any spot, swapping movesets, or modify the [[Artificial Intelligence]] of the computer.
