AA. Introduction
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
OK. So one day, I wanted to write my first guide and decided to start small,
so here is my guide for all of the codes and passwords for Ristar on what is
perhaps SEGA's most succesful console: the Mega Drive. (or Genesis if you live
in North America)
I hesitate to make this the final version in case I discover more info.
Well, that's all I have to say for the intro.
AB. Legal Information
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Under no circumstances can you, or any other website besides GameFAQs host
this guide. It was written by, and is owned by DeepFriedBurger. This does
not stop you however, from using info from it.
AC. Version History
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Version 1.0. I write the guide. (22nd July 2018). I send the guide to
GameFAQs and Neoseeker. (Date unknown).

now. Updated this section, the contact section, the contents, and
any reference to the guide being version 0.1. (29th December

any reference to this guide being version 2.0., and
updated the Credits section. (10th February 2019).

B. Passwords
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Enter these into the "Password" option in the menu to activate their effect.
Password shown on left, effect listed after a "-". NOTE: If a password has
"(JP)" written after it, it means that it will only work in the Japanese
version of Ristar.
ILOVEU - Round Select upon starting the game. Use the D-Pad to navigate and
press Start to play the selected round.
MUSEUM - Boss Rush Mode upon starting the game. (You fight every boss in the
game one by one, in their individual rounds, but with the opening ommited.) You
have 5 lives to complete this with. Before/after a boss, a result/info screen
will be displayed; press Start on it to continue.
DOFEEL - Bonus Round Time Attack Mode upon start. Use the D-Pad to select a
bonus round and press Start to play it. When highlighting a stage, you will
see your best completion time for it, followed by that of the developers.
SUPER/SUPERB - Super Difficulty Mode avalable. You'll see it listed as the
difficulty on the "Difficulty" option. Pressing Left or Right on this will
change it to another difficulty but the Super mode will not be selectable
without entering either password again so... don't do that. In Super Mode,
you can only get hit once before you die... and get game over as you only
have 1 life. You do have infinite continues as well, though. If you beat
the final level (can use round select) under this difficulty the message
"YOU ARE THE RISTAR MASTER" will appear after the credits.
MIEMIE - Every point where Ristar can grab a wall to discover a bonus
item will be marked with a blue star in gameplay. This is the only
password in the game which cannot be discovered normally following the
end credits, not even if all bonus rounds have been cleared.
STAR (JP) - A shooting star will fly across the background.
AGES - The text "COPYRIGHT SEGA 1996" (Copyright Info) is displayed.
CANDY (JP) - Ristar will be invincible to almost all hazards. There are
some that can still cause harm such as Itamor's chewing attack but they
are uncommon.
MACCHA (JP) - Round 7 will be displayed in greenish colour. "Maccha" or
"matcha" is a type of finely ground green tea powder. "Miyake", which is
the name the game refers to this colour pallete as, refers to chief
designer Takumi Miyake.
MASTER (JP) - No effect outside of it's correct entry message.
VALDI (JP) - View the Valdi Star System. Here are the controls:
D-Pad Up/Down: Move the system up or down respectively.
D-Pad Left/Right: Rotate the system.
A: Zoom in
C: Zoom Out
Start: Exit to title screen.
FEEL (JP) - Hyper Mode- Enables the passwords MIEMIE, CANDY and ILOVEU.
AAAAAA (JP) - Infinate Continues.
MAGURO - In the Sound Theater, a new track will be avalable after
"Sound Off", as well as a new option below the music track selected which,
when set to on will play the current track in Onchi, just like what happens
during the round 4 boss.
HETAP - During demos, the reversed version of your high score is listed
(stated as the "worst score").
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
C. Game Genie Codes
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
You can use these if you have a Game Genie cheat device. Codes marked with
"(IN)" can only be used in any non-Japenese version. Likewise, "(JP)" means
that it will only work in the Japenese version.
DM6A-LH1F (IN)/DMXA-LHTK (JP) - In the Sound Theater, the bird will fall off
of the perch when "Sound Off" is selected. This is actually supposed to
happen in the game, but doesn't due to coding errors.
BZ6A-AAH8 and AP6A-AZ2A (IN)/BZ6A-AAHG and AP6A-AZ9J (JP) - Press Start to
access an early version of the round select: a black screen with white text.
Press A and C to navigate left and right respectively. In the Non-Japenese
versions, the white text does not appear, but the stage select does still
work.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
D. Pro Action Replay Codes
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
You can use these if you have a Pro Action Replay cheat device. As far as I
know, these only work in the Non-Japanese versions but I'm not sure. Again, if
you know, tell me please.
FFE50B : 78 - When you start the game you will be a cursor and can move
freely, even through solids. Hold A, B, or C to move faster. To disable this,
turn the code off and press Start.
FFFE05 : 08 - Slow-Motion. Upon completing a round the game crashes. Oops.
Four of the Japenese-exclusive passwords have known codes to access their
effects in the other versions:
FFFE04 : 10 - AAAAAA (Infinate Continues)
FFFE04 : 02 - CANDY (Invincibilty to almost everything)
