Stages

Debug Name	Stage Name	In-Game Usage	Description
DUMMY		None- Debug Menu Only	A debug stage that crashes the game when trying to load it, although use of action replay codes can force the stage to load. The stage itself is totally black, with one invisible platform in the middle. The stage has no blast lines, so characters will fall forever.
TEST		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.
IZUMI	Fountain of Dreams	Playable Stage
PSTADIUM	Pokémon Stadium	Playable Stage
CASTLE	Princess Peach's Castle	Playable Stage
KONGO	Kongo Jungle	Playable Stage

INISHIE1	Mushroom Kingdom	Playable Stage
INISHIE2	Mushroom Kingdom II	Playable Stage
AKANEIA		None- Debug Menu Only	A stage that crashes the game when trying to load it. There is no known code that can force it to load. It is believed to be a 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
ICEMT	Icicle Mountain	Playable Stage
ICETOP		None- Debug Menu Only	An unused stage that crashes when trying to load it, although use of action replay codes can force the stage to load. The stage is believed to have been the "top" of Icicle Mountain. However, forcing it to load reveals that it is now just a clone of Icicle Mountain without music.
FLATZONE	Flat Zone	Playable Stage
OLD PPP	Past Stages: Dream Land	Playable Stage
OLD YOSH	Past Stages: Yoshi's Island	Playable Stage
OLD KONG	Past Stages: Kongo Jungle	Playable Stage

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 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.
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.

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 much more aggressive. This stage is also used by Event #32: "Target Aquired".
7PSTADIUM	Pokémon Stadium	Adventure Mode	A clone of Pokémon Stadium used in Adventure Mode. The player fights a horde of Pokémon here, primarily Pikachu but also including Jigglypuff and Pichu if they are unlocked.
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".

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		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	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	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.

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. Also, after 800 feet, the game will stop loading floor and background textures. 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.

CPU Modes

Debug Name	Description
CPTP_STAY	The default CPU mode for Training Mode (Denoted "Stand"). The CPU will not move except to recover. It will occasionally use a ledge attack.
CPTP_WALK	A standard CPU mode used in Training Mode (Denoted "Walk"). The CPU will walk back and forth across the stage.
CPTP_ESCAPE	A standard CPU mode used in Training Mode (Denoted "Evade"). The CPU actively avoid interaction with the player.
CPTP_JUMP	A standard CPU mode used in Training Mode (Denoted "Jump"). The CPU will constantly single jump.
CPTP_NORMAL	A standard CPU mode used in both Versus Mode and Training Mode (Denoted "Attack"). The CPU behaves normally, throwing out attacks and maneuvers.
CPTP_MANUAL	A standard CPU mode used in Training Mode (Denoted "Human"). The CPU is controlled by the other 3 controllers.
CPTP_NANA	The default mode for the partner 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 shields and rolls.
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 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 the event match Kirbys on Parade.
CPTP_COOPERATE	Causes the CPU to follow the player and attack them.
CPTP_SPLWLINK	Cause the CPU to only use their down special move when set to Link and Samus respectively. They are used in the event match Bomb-fest. "SPLW" is an abbreviation of "Special Low", which reflects that the character only uses their down (or "low") special.
CPTP_SPLWSAMUS
CPTP_ONLYITEM	Causes the CPU to only use items, as opposed to using any other attacks, as Jigglypuff does in the event Legendary Pokémon.
CPTP_EVZELDA	Causes Zelda to transform into Sheik more often, as she does in the event match 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 jumping 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 items that appear. Otherwise, the CPU is normal. This is used for CPUs in event matches like Event 7: Pokémon Battle.
