Unused Enemies
Boar
This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can we get this enemy placed in a map? Additionally, can anybody with art skills and/or patience assemble the raw sprite? He should have running, jumping and damage animations. |
This enemy is loaded into VRAM whenever the player enters Poka-Poka Island (World 1), Hiya-Hiya Island (World 2), Puka-Puka Island (World 4) or engages in a random encounter on the World Map. His placement in memory is right between the most common monster types (the bird and fox, for example) -- this raises the question as to why he was not included: his sprites appear to be complete although the exact palette could not be located (the most appropriate one was chosen for this screenshot, shared with the crab enemy). It is currently unknown whether or not the boar can be placed in an existing map or not.

Hidden Map Elements
Waku-Waku Island
Adventure Island 3 Cheats Nes Game Genie
Unlike most of the action stages in Super Adventure Island II, the Inn's (and King's chambers) tilemaps are all located on the first background layer. Because this layer has no transparent tiles, the unfinished sky background is never displayed (on background layer two with a priority of zero).
Consequently, turning off the background layer also reveals an obscured sprite: Tina's face from the 'stage completed' cutscenes. This is due to the fact that the Inn map is used as a general-purpose location: upon defeating a boss, you are warped to this location during the cutscene and then warped back outside of the completed stage.
Poka-Poka Island
The boss' chamber has a lock on both scrolling axises, but forcing the camera upwards reveals an extended portion of the map in which the tree's branches climb much, much higher into the foliage.
Hiya-Hiya Island
Much like the above revelation, the boss room from the second stage also has an extension—but this time to the right of the screen behind the mammoth boss. It is an exact replica of the regular chamber save for an extra layer of snow on the ground.
Miscellaneous
The miniboss cavern actually has a floor which is obscured by the foreground layer (the standard grey stone tile). This holds true for both minibosses (the lizard and dog) because they share the same map layout, albeit with a different palette.
Debug Menu
The game contains a debug menu which was disabled in the final build by writing a second title screen pointer over the debug menu pointer in the menu table. To access the menu, boot the game with the following game enhancer codes active:
Debug Menu | Stage Menu | Boss Menu |
---|
- NEW GAME (X)
Begins a new game on the selected file. Any progress will be overwritten upon choosing Save from the menu.
- OLD GAME (X)
Continues a previously saved game from the selected file. This option may restore old games which were deleted, but not overwritten (deleting a file via the main menu simply marks the file as empty).
- STAGE (X)/STAGE (X) BOSS
Warps you to the appropriate stage and its boss in sequential order. While there truly is no 'Stage 6', this option accounts for the two final bosses, the Phantom and Space Demon/Scorpion, respectively. When warping to bosses, the player's inventory will be overwritten to include every weapon, armor, shield, spell, and equipment piece available.
Sound Test
A different set of game enhancer codes are required to access a debug sound test which isn't connected to the main debug menu.

- SOUND PACK NO

The variable above corresponds to the package in which the music track is grouped into (see below).
- MUSIC NO
Because most stages only use a single song (save for Waku-Waku Island and other cutscene maps), playing track 0 or 1 is sufficient in finding the song you are looking for after changing the sound pack number. Going outside the valid range of music tracks for the selected sound pack will cause the game to hang.
- SOUND NO
Plays the specified sound. This may or may not be connected to the sound pack number.
Mummy Madness (Bronze): Win a game of All Wrapped Up. Monster Pirate (Bronze): Knock every other computer controlled monster into the water in Treasure Hunt. Wonky Donkey (Bronze): Hit every Zombie Donkey and still win a game of Boo! Play it Safe (Bronze): Don't lose any points in a game. Musical Monster (Silver): Win every round in a game of Musical chairs. Naked Mummy (Silver): Completely unwrap a mummy within the time limit in All Wrapped Up. Play it Safe (Bronze): Don't lose any points in a game of Ghoulish Golf. Wonky Donkey (Bronze): Hit every Zombie Donkey and still win a game. Wonkey Donkey was a feature/competitions which appeared weekly on SMTV Live. The aim of the game was for viewers to phone in and guess what the donkey is dressed as. The premise of the game was very similar to that of Catchphrase. The example the presenters always gave to explain the game was 'Wonkey Donkey' (a small toy donkey with one leg missing). Every week, something similar was shown to. Game Trivia In stage 9-4, the player is required to climb several chains and push keys upwards into locks at the top, which was also the way the final stage of Donkey. Make sure you have Donkey Kong playable, as only he can access this warp. At the start of the level, ascend the first rope and jump onto the platform at the top. Go to the far left end of the platform and jump straight up a Donkey Kong. There's a warp barrel camouflaged in the ice at the top of the screen. Wonky donkey game cheats.
