Welcome to the Pro Action Replay (PAR) Codes list with descriptions and
explanations for the game Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo Entertainment
System (known as Super Famicom in Japan). In total there are 699 PAR codes
(380 if excluding the 32 enemies and their attributes), ranging from going
through walls to the debug mode. Each code contains the name of the code, the
address of the code, and either a list of possible values or a range of values
for the code. Every code has been thoroughly tried and tested, but no
guarantees are given for anyone who tries them out, especially given the many
situations possibly faced in the game and the differences each screen within
the game offers. Subsections are divided for an easy search-and-find through
the find function within the document reader.
Not all material within this document is absolutely accurate, and if you find
any bugs with either the codes, values, explanations, descriptions, or anything
else contained in this document, or have a complaint, comment, or compliment,
feel free to send an e-mail. If you do not understand the layout of the codes
and/or sections of codes, make sure to refer to section 3.
Much thanks goes to Kejardon, Jathys, Grime and everyone who helped to dissect
Super Metroid at its finest and have documentation of findings publicly
available. This document would not nearly have as many codes without their hard
work.

Although different portions of the document contain different formatting
styles, there is a general format used throughout. We are going to analyze the
general layout as an example to ensure that we understand it, as serves purpose
of this section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a. Example Group Head PAR Code Max Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) First PAR Code 7E1000?? 7E1000FF 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
Some description for the above code.
2) Second PAR Code 7E0000?? 7E0000FF 0 - 65535
7E0001?? 7E0001FF (00 00 - FF FF)
3) Third PAR Code 7E2000?? 00 - Select One
Descriptions for specific PAR codes will always be 01 - Select Two
below the name unless otherwise specified. 02 - Select Three
03 - Select Four
4) Fourth PAR Code 7E3000?? 7E3000FF 01 - Add One
02 - Add Two
04 - Add Four
08 - Add Eight
10 - Add Ten
20 - Add Twenty
40 - Add Forty
80 - Add Eighty
Just to keep in mind: When the word "value" is used it refers to a number. When
the words "PAR code" is used that refers can refer to either the whole row or
just the PAR code itself. Whenever there is "00" or a zero before the number
then the number is in hexadecimal form.
For each PAR code above, starting from left to right there is: the name given,
the PAR code(s) to use, the PAR code(s) filling in the "??" with the maximum
amount to enter, and the range of possible values you can enter for the code.
Below all of that per one is the description for the code, if there is one. The
"??" in the PAR code must be filled in with the value of you want. The value
must be in hexadecimal format. The minimum value is always 0 unless indicated
by the code's description. For some codes the "??" may already be filled in and
no range is given, which means you just need to enter that code to get it
working. There may be additional columns for certain subsections, which should
be self-explanatory.
To explain the PAR codes in the examples above:
For the first PAR code type you need to choose a value to enter for the code
and replace the "??" with the value in hexadecimal form. Let us say if I want
to enter "99" for the code then I would convert the value to hexadecimal, which
is "63" and enter 7E100063 as the code.
For the second PAR code type you do the same as the first but you will be
handling a larger number, possibly. Let us say if I want to enter "300" for the
code. I would then convert the value to hexadecimal, which is "12C". Subsection
b explains how to convert. Hexadecimal is always in groups of two, so include
the 0 before the 1 to get "012C". Then we split the value up to get "01 2C" and
reverse the numbers to finally get "2C 01". I then would enter both 7E00002C
and 7E000101 as the code.
For the third PAR code type you must select one of the values from the range
and replace the "??" with the value. If I want "Select Three" from that range
then I would enter 7E200002 as the code. To know if you have to select a value
for the code you can see by with the range being in numerical order and no max
code is provided.
For the fourth PAR code type you must add the values in the range for what you
want and replace the "??" with the added value. If I want to select "Add Two",
"Add Twenty" and "Add Eighty" then I will add all the values up and get A2 and
then enter the code as 7E3000A2. The values are in hexadecimal so they need to
be added in that way also. To know it is a code where you must add the values
you will often only see some or all of the values: 01, 02, 04, 08, 10, 20, 40,
80 in the range.
Note that some PAR codes in this document only can work on emulation due to the
way PAR codes are handled on the console versus emulation. These are NOT
pointed out throughout, so you will need to explore and see if and what
works if you are entering these codes on the console.

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
If you want to know how to change a certain number into hexadecimal, first
choose a method and follow the instructions:
Method 1 - When using Microsoft Windows:
1. Open the program "Calculator". For all versions of Windows with a GUI
interface, you can either: 1) Click start and click Run (also holding down
the Windows symbol key and pressing R does the same). Type down "calc"
(without the quotations) and press enter. 2) Use the search feature on
Windows and type "calculator".
2. Now the calculator needs to be on the correct format. Depending on which
version of windows you have requires certain actions:
-If the operating system is Windows 7 or Windows 8 (and possibly includes
later versions), set the calculator to programmer, if it is not already
set. To do this, click View at the top menu and click Programmer (or hold
alt and press 3).
-If the operating system is Windows XP or earlier, set the calculator to
scientific, if it is not already set. To do this, click View at the top
menu and click Scientific.
3. Make sure decimal mode is selected and enter the number you want to convert.
4. Set it to hex mode, which will convert the number.
5. Replace the question marks with the number(s)/letter(s) you see.
Method 2 - Using Google's search engine:
You can also access Google's search engine and type into the search box:
"[insert decimal number here] to hex". For example, by entering "78 to hex" the
result will be 0x4E. Just ignore the 0x part as it does not pertain to the
actual code and the final answer will be 4E.
Method 3 - Do it yourself:
There are also many other websites that can covert from decimal to hexadecimal.
You can also calculate by hand if you are not able to do it in your head...
that is, if you are that daring.

Keep in mind whenever you use cheats in games, especially PAR codes, you run
the risk of losing your saves, whether through deletion or being overwritten
unintentionally. For some of these codes there is always the potential for all
saves to automatically be overridden if a save is loaded with a code on.
While I try my best to forewarn you of potential data loss, I cannot guarantee
that a code having no warning will actually do nothing to the saves.

collected the max amount is 50.
A) Item Selected 7E09D2?? 00 - None
Both the Grappling Beam and X-Ray scope can still 01 - Missiles
be used even if any of the items have not been acquired. 02 - S. Missiles
03 - Power Bomb
04 - Grappling
05 - X-Ray Scope
B) Supply Mode (Reserves) 7E09C0?? 01 - Auto
02 - Manual
C) Subunit Energy 7E0A4D?? 7E0A4DFF 0 - 255 (00-FF)
This health is only affected by environmental damage (such as lava).
G) Contact Damage 7E0A6E?? 7E0A6E01 00 - Normal
This is similar to the blue suit and screw attack. There 01 - Less
is no invincibility time, projectiles do hurt, and Samus Vulenerable
cannot do bomb jumping.
H) Reserve Missiles 7E09D8?? 7E09D8FF 7E09D863 0 - 65535
7E09D9?? 7E09D9FF 7E09D900 (00 00 - FF FF)
This was not put in the game despite the developers' original intentions, so
the code will not do anything in the original version of the game. The max
amount normally in the game is 99 or if Samus can already carry more missiles
than that then the max is equal to the max missiles can be carried.

============ 2. Movement [4A2] ============
\___________________________________/
There are many conditions to be into perspective for the full description of
effects of some movement PAR codes. I only provide with broad descriptions,
so feel free to have fun and experiment with them! Just keep in mind the risks
of getting stuck and the game possibly glitching or freezing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAR Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Hurt Timer 7E18AA?? 0 - 65535
7E18AB?? (00 00 - FF FF)
00: Samus will not get knocked back.
01+: If you input and enable the code while not already hit then Samus
will get knocked back.
- While not in ball form you can escape from the hurt stuck position with
doing the enemy knockback glitch.
- While in ball form you can escape by using the X-Ray Scope while
crouching. You cannot bomb jump with this on. There are some movement
abnormalities you can abuse with this on, such as when landing in ball
form, Samus can float in air by rolling off the platform she is on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a. Position PAR Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) X Position 7E0AF6?? 0 - 65535
7E0AF7?? (00 00 - FF FF)
2) Y Position 7E0AF8?? 0 - 65535
7E0AF9?? (00 00 - FF FF)
3) Distance from Door from Exiting 7E092D?? 0 - 65535
7E092E?? (00 00 - FF FF)
Based on the direction Samus is exiting from the door. Only a small number is
needed to even go a great direction. This is calculated on pixels per frame of
room transition movement.
4) Quicker Door Transition 7EC4000E
You may need to disable this when you are not in the main game. This may cause
some graphical glitching with enemies or the background.
5) On Ground 7E0B36?? 00 - On Ground
This is used for the game's checking if Samus is on 01 - Moving Up
the ground or in the air. With 01 Samus can float. 02 - Moving Down
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. Speed PAR Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Quicksand-Like Horizontal Speed 7E0A66?? 00 - 04
This has an effect like quicksand, water without the Gravity Suit, and lava
without the Varia Suit. This slows movement and the distance for Speed Booster
does not decrease as much as movement speed. The greater the amount the slower
the movement speed
2) Horizontal 'Momentum' Forward 7E0B46?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This is the speed Samus moves when left or right is released from the
directional pad when on ground. The value normally decreases. 00 is the slowest
movement forward. Setting it too high will result in Samus falling into the
ground. Setting to less than 0F seems to be the safe zone when having normal
movement speed.
3) Horizontal 'Momentum' & Speed 7E0B4A?? 00 - 02
00 - This has somewhat a similar effect as #2.
01 - Samus cannot move without running. Running is slower, which allows to get
the blue suit in a shorter distance. In the game this value is normally set
when Samus is turning to face the opposing direction.
02 - This has the same effect as 01 when on the ground but in air Samus will
continually move forward in the direction she is facing. In the game this
value is set as soon as Samus slows in horizontal movement with releasing the
directional pad until she has fully stopped movement.
4) Horizontal Speed Forward 7E0B42?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This is normally used when Samus gains movement speed (often by the Speed
Booster). Setting the value to more than 00 gives Samus a horizontal
escalator effect when not moving horizontally. Setting it too high will result
in Samus possibly getting stuck into the wall or ground. Setting to less than
10 seems to be the safe zone.
5) Vertical Speed (aka Moon Jump) 7E0B2E?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This affects both vertical directions. Subsection Position (a) #5 affects the
direction Samus is going vertically. Increasing the value increases the speed.
Setting the value about 04 will not allow Samus to perform space jumping.
Setting it too high will result in Samus possibly getting stuck into the wall
or ground. Setting to less than 11 seems to be the safe zone.
6) Run Faster 9097AD45
Samus must be on the ground and running to affect her running speed. The
increased speed also increases the jump height. This however does not
increase the distance to be able to get blue suit, meaning running distance
is greatly increased to get the blue suit. There is the risk of Samus going
in the ground after having stopped running.
7) Keep Speed Turning while Spin Jumping 91F62522
It is much more noticeable if Samus is moving faster while spin jumping.
8) Keep Speed After Landing from Jump 91E9EC09
91E9EC0A
Does not include falling without jump.
9) Keep Speed After Landing from Fall 91E9F709
91EA010A
Samus may get stuck in inclines. If you use #8 with this code then getting
stuck seems much less likely to happen.
0) Morph Ball Acceleration Rate 90A025?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This only applies when Samus is on the ground with the morph ball. Setting
too high will cause Samus to go through the ground. Setting to less than 0C
seems to be the safe zone.
A) Spring Ball in Air Acceleration Rate 90A031?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This only applies when the Spring Ball is used and when in the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. Super Jump/Shinespark PAR Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Super Jump Delay Timer 7E0A68?? 0 - 65535
7E0A69?? (00 00 - FF FF)
The timer is also used by the crystal flash. Setting the value to more than 00
enables super jumping. You just have to press down on the directional pad to
be able to do a shinespark.
2) Have Blue Suit 7E0B3F04
Setting the value to anything above 04 will have Samus with no blue suit but
you still can do shinespark.
3) Shortened Blue Suit Distance 7E0A9400
This is normally the countdown for Samus's next frame. By setting this to 0
are freezing it the distance needed to get the blue suit is decreased. You will
also see Samus's animation go very quickly.
4) Shinespark Timer 7E0AA2?? 0 - 65535
7E0AA3?? (00 00 - FF FF)
The timer is used in both launch countdown and recovery (after crashing).
The value cannot be frozen above 00 for recovery or Samus will be stuck.
5) Vertical Shinespark no Damage 90D0CEAD
6) Diagonal Shinespark no Damage 90D0FDAD
7) Diagonal Shinespark Does Horizontal 90D0EFAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d. Elevator PAR Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Position on Elevator 7E0E16?? 00 - Not Standing On
01 - Standing On
- When Samus is standing on an idle elevator that can be moved and Samus is not
moving the value is set to 01.
- Going into a room with the code on will have Samus automatically ride the
elevator. If the room does not have an elevator then Samus will just be
stuck.
- When already in a room with an elevator, jumping then pressing down for a
down elevator might get Samus stuck - set #2 to 03 then to 00 after landing
to get unstuck.
2) Elevator Direction 7E0E18?? 00 - Not Moving
This only is affected in rooms with elevators. 01 - Leaving Room
The value must be set to 00 for Samus to be able 02 - Entering Room
to leave the elevator. 03 - Elevator to Rest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e. Jumping PAR Code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Moon Jump 9090F780
9090F82E
2) Mid-air Jumping 9497B680
Samus's descent is slowed. 90E60C80
3) Jump While in Walls 94964400
Useful when having both #2 and subsection Through Walls (f) #2 codes enabled.
4) Easy Space Jumping 90A4BEEA
To do space jumping all you have to is hold the jump button. Falling down with
the space jump is slower also.
5) Space Jump in Liquid without Gravity Suit 90A445EA
It will show Samus still just doing a spin jump in water but Samus is actually
space jumping.
6) Wall Jump in Liquid without Gravity Suit 909ED302

PAR Code Max Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Projectile Counter 7E0CCE?? 7E0CCEFF 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
The amount of projectiles in the air, visible within the screen range. The game
normally only allows up to 5 projectiles from Samus to be shot on screen at
once. More than 5 will have the latest projectile override the 5th projectile.
2) Cooldown Timer 7E0CCC?? 7E0CCCFF 0 - 65535
7E0CCD?? 7E0CCDFF (00 00 - FF FF)
The amount of time left to when Samus is able to shoot another shot. This also
applies to bombs.
3) Firing Direction 7E0B5E?? 00 - Up (Facing right)
01 - Upright
Enabling this PAR code will fire beams even 02 - Right
if you are not pressing the shoot button except 03 - Downright
if the value is set to 00. 04 - Down (Facing right)
05 - Down (Facing left)
06 - Downleft
07 - Left
08 - Upleft
09 - Up (Facing left)
4) Charge State 7E0CD0?? 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
Setting the value to 3C and above is when Samus can do a charged shot while
everything below is a regular shot. This will keep firing if the shot button
is not held. Setting the value to 78 and above will allow Samus to be able to
perform a SBA. To do SBAs you are required to press the shoot button.
5) Beam Less Acceleration 90B1C3EA
The initial acceleration of beams are decreased. This does not affect missiles
and super missiles.

4) Y Radius 7E0XXXFF & 7E0XXXFF 0 - 65535 (00 00 - FF FF)
A too great of radius will not allow the projectile to open the door unless
Samus is directly in front of the door. Also, it does not apply to charged
beams and the Hyper Beam.
5) X Speed 7E0XXXFF & 7E0XXXFF 00 00 - FF 7F - Right (^ is Faster)
00 80 - Stuck/No Speed

*EIX, CG, FJ, Sa, Tb, Uc, OV, DH: For these ones that are grouped, they share
the same PAR code, meaning modifying for one will also modify for the the rest.
For example: If you wanted to modify the Hyper Beam damage (V) then you will
also be modifying the charged Plasma Beam damage (O).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAR Code Max Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Bomb Placed Counter 7E0CD2?? 7E0CD205 00 - 05
- The maximum amount of bombs allowed to be set is 5 (though this code is only
a counter to see how many have been placed). Placing more than 5 on screen
results in the newest placed bomb overwriting the 5th one.
- When the value is set to 0 then bomb jumping is not possible. In turn, in
order to do the multi-bomb drop the value has to be 0.
- Only 1 power bomb can ever exist (but is not affected by this PAR code).
2) Bomb Placement Cooldown Timer 7E0CCC?? 7E0CCCFF 0 - 65535
7E0CCD?? 7E0CCDFF (00 00 - FF FF)
The amount of time left to when you can lay another bomb. This also applies
to projectiles. This does not apply to power bombs.
3) Bomb Jump Strength 909EF5?? 909EF5FF 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
Normal bomb jump strength is 2. Setting to too high will cause Samus to go
through walls. Setting the value to 10 seems safest for the strength.
4) Bomb Jump Strength in Liquid 909EF7?? 909EF7FF 0 - 255 (00 - FF)
This only applies when Samus is not equipped with the Gravity Suit. Normal bomb
jump strength is 0. Setting to too high will cause Samus to go through walls.
Setting the value to 10 seems safest for the strength.

7E0B83?? 7E0B85?? 7E0B87?? 7E0B89?? 7E0B8B??
Bomb # depends on what order they were placed on the field. Multi-bomb spread
bomb order is (as normally appeared in the game): #1 - center left, #2 - left,
#3 - center, #4 - right, #5 - center right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Y Radius 7E0BDXFF & 7E0BDXFF 0 - 65535 (00 00 - FF FF)
The value will change if regular bombs explode. It is best to freeze the code,
if possible. This just affects enemies.
5) X Moving Speed 7E0BEX?? & 7E0BEX?? 00 00 - FF 7F - Right (^ is Faster)
00 80 - Stuck/No Speed
01 80 - FF FF - Left (^ is Faster)
This only applies to when bombs are moving. Below depicts the speed for values.
The arrows show the direction of the bomb.
Slowest(0000) -> Fastest(FF7F), No speed(0080), Slowest(0180) <- Fastest(FFFF)
6) Y Moving Speed 7E0XXX?? & 7E0XXX?? 00 00 - FF 7F - Down (^ is Faster)
00 80 - Stuck/No Speed
01 80 - FF FF - Up (v is Faster)
This only applies to when bombs are moving. Below depicts the speed for values.
The arrows show the direction of the bomb.
Slowest(0000) vv Fastest(FF7F), No speed(0080), Fastest(0180) ^^ Slowest(FFFF)
It is recommended to not go far from the slowest speed since it goes much
faster after a few numbers higher/lower.
7) Timer 7E0C8XFF & 7E0C8XFF 0 - 65535 (0000 - FF FF)
Countdown time until when the bomb explodes.
8) Type 7E0C7X?? & 7E0C7X?? 69 B1 - Still Bomb

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. Power Bomb PAR Code Max Code Range
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Power Bomb Laid 7E0CEE?? 00 00 - No
7E0CEF?? FF FF - Yes
The graphics will glitch if you place power bombs too quickly. Nevertheless,
this gives you the opportunity you forever wanted to do the power bomb jump!
2) Explosion Origin X Position 7E0CE2?? 7E0CE2FF 0 - 65535
7E0CE3?? 7E0CE3FF (00 00 - FF FF)
3) Explosion Origin Y Position 7E0CE4?? 7E0CE4FF 0 - 65535
7E0CE5?? 7E0CE5FF (00 00 - FF FF)
Minibosses and bosses (except for Mother Brain) are usually allocated to
Enemy 1, as they are the first (and commonly only) enemy to be loaded into
memory for the room.
0) Speed 2 7E1736?? 7E1776??
7E1737?? 7E1777??
For both speeds the exact effect varies on the type of enemy. It may be for
which direction the enemy is moving, distance it covers, number of hits it
takes to kill/destroy, movement delay, or even the actual constant movement
speed. No more information is provided within this document, so use at your own
risk.

used to track the amount of times Ridley was hit. Ridley takes 100 shots before
flying off.
2) Drops after Boss Defeat 7E0E1A01 00 - Various
01 - All Energy
Triggers more energy drops if Samus is low on health. This normally turns on if
Samus's health drops below 30 and turns off if at least 50. Also, it normally
turns on or off when an item drop appears on screen.

These are for when you would grab the map from the map station. The rooms
normally in blue will not be marked on the pause map until Samus leaves the
area. Current map region is affected by subsection Current Region (4E5) #1.
The amount you are able to scroll when viewing the map is not changed. You need
to enter codes under subsection Pause Map Scrolling (4E3) to adjust.
Usually not all the codes are necessarily needed for an area's map. Each code
affects a small portion of the displayed map. No further explanation on the
effects of the values entered is provided in this document.

#2 and #3 are both used to play the music that's heard. Often 05 XX and 06 XX
are used for music played in the region. 07 24 is specially used for the escape
sequence song. You will just have to experiment with combining the two PAR
codes.
INTRO: Just as the name indicates, this PAR code allows you to access the many
features the developers used while debugging the game. While on debug mode,
Controller 2 is now operable for input of special debug commands. There are
also a few special debug commands for Controller 1.
NOTE: There are two ways you can enter this code.
-The game load method requires you to reset the game after entering the code.
-The instant method allows you to use the code anywhere, anytime and debug mode
will be activate instantly.
WARNING: It is possible for the game to freeze when least expected when using
the features that come with this code. It is also possible for save files to
magically disappear (though, for some reason) when using the features that come
with this code.
EXPLANATION: After choosing a save file you are able to choose which region you
want to go on by either using the directional pad or by pressing select on
Controller 1. Even if the file is still normally on Space Colony you will still
be able to choose which region you want to go one, which unfortunately does not
include Space Colony. After selecting the area and while viewing the region's
map you can choose your load location by pressing Select on Controller 2. There
are some special locations predefined just for the debug code. Additionally,
save point locations and elevator locations can be selected but need to be
activated first in the save file. Codes to activate are in #0. All these points
are indicated by a glowing "O" (zero) if on already explored map.
All the inputs except the CPU usage meter can only be entered during gameplay.
This means that they cannot be entered in the pause menu. The in-game reset
(by pressing and holding L + R + Start + Select) is also enabled. These are the
inputs that can be entered during gameplay:
----------------
Controller 1 <
----------------
a) Select + L + A - Palette viewer. There are two sets of palettes, so you will
need to press the combination once more to go to the second set. To exit you
have to press the combination a final time. This may glitch sprite graphics
upon exiting. Pausing and unpausing the game usually cleans up some of the
screen.
b) Select + L + Y - CPU usage meter. A grey bar appears for how much CPU power
is available. In other words, CPU used is what is not part of the grey bar. So,
if there is no grey bar visible then maximum CPU is being used.
c) Select + L + X - Sprite viewer. There are two sets of sprite. For the first
set of sprites you can use the Select + L + A combination to flip through the
different palette colors. Flipping through the sets and exiting is just like
the palette viewer.
d) Select + R + A - Turns on/off Layer 3 (status bar, liquids/fogs, etc.).
Interesting to know is that typically this layer turns off when the game
freezes.
e) Select + R + B - Swaps between 0 and your current missiles, super missiles,
and power bombs. Refer to #2, #3, and #4 for PAR codes to modify the amount
stored. The numbers are only saved when switching to 0.
----------------
Controller 2 <
----------------
a) A - Sets if Samus is invincible. The PAR code for this is also under
subsection Samus (4a) letter E.
b) L - Stops all enemies. You cannot hurt them and they cannot hurt you.
c) R - Displays the enemy controller. The initial list of attributes you see
are:
- enemy's name ([enemy's name];)
- x position (TK_PosX:)
- y position (TK_PosY:)
- HP (TK_HP:)
- pointer (Pointer:) - This is the enemy number in the list, where 0000 is
the first enemy, 0040 is the second, 0080 is the third, 00C0 is the
fourth, and so on up to 07C0 for the 32th enemy in increments of 40.
Existing enemies can be modified or new ones can be created.
- location ([Area][Section #]_[Room #]) - Planet abbreviations are:
SF = Surface Area (Crateria)
BL = Brinstar
NO = Norfair
NP = Wrecked Ship
ML = Maridia
TS = Tourian
CL = Ceres
If the selected enemy is on screen then "<==: Move" text will be displayed to
the right center of the enemy.
On the initial list there are further more buttons that control the menu with
the Controller 2.
1) A - Moves the selected enemy to the right side of Samus
2) Directional Pad - Moves the selected enemy around.
3) Hold X + Direction Pad - Moves the selected enemy around quicker.
4) Select - Selects the next enemy in the list.
5) Hold B + Press Select - Selects the previous enemy in the list. If
Pointer is 0000 and you use this then it will go back to FFC0. You can
continue to go back but note that none of these are for enemies. By
modifying these you are actually modifying something else in the game,
which means there's a good chance of the game freezing and possibly
save files being deleted. Also, if Pointer is 0040 then it will go back
to 07C0 instead of 0000.
Pressing R on Controller 2 again will bring up another list, which is the
attributes for the enemy selected, which you can edit. The attributes are the
enemy's:
- x position (PosX:)
- y position (PosY:)
- Orientation (Pose:) - Used to determine in what position the enemy is
(such as on the walls/ceilings). No more information
is provided within this document, so use it at your
own risk.
- Properties (Swt1:) - Special attributes assigned to the enemy. The numbers
just need to be added (in hexadecimal value), with
including the default value, for what you want. The
max value is FF00. The values are:
2000 - Default
+100 - Invisible (can hurt Samus)
+200 - Deleted (cannot hurt Samus)
+400 - Non-responsive (ignore Samus/projectiles)
+800 - Move off screen (process even when offscreen)
+1000 - Stop plasma (blocks plasma shots)
+4000 - Respawn
+8000 - Platform (makes hitbox solid to Samus)
- Graphic Unknown (Swt2:) - This may have something to do with graphics.
This is used for bosses and possibly other
enemies. No more information is provided within
this document, so use it at your own risk.
- Speed (Opt0:) - The exact effect varies on the type of enemy. It may be
- Speed 2(Opt1:) - for which direction the enemy is moving, distance it
covers, number of hits it takes to kill/destroy, movement
delay, or even the actual constant movement speed. No
more information is provided within this document, so use
it at your own risk.
The controls for Controller 2 for this second menu are:
1) Directional Pad - Moves the circle within the list around.
2) A - Resets the changed coordinates back to the original numbers.
3) B - Decrease the circled number/letter by one.
4) X - Increase the circled number/letter by one.
5) R - Saves changes and exits the list.
6) Select - Saves and applies changes and exits the list.
7) L - Saves and applies changes and goes to the enemy spawner list.
In the enemy spawner list you will see a list of enemies that are
available in the preset list of enemies (of the room). The controls for
Controller 2 for this menu are:
1) Down - Scrolls through the list with the currently selected enemy's
name shown above the list.
2) L - Save the selected enemy. The enemy shown when entering the
list will not be saved so you must scroll through the list of
enemies back to the first one appearing for it to save. Note that
enemies that are legitimately named "NoDebug" will most likely
freeze the game.
3) R - Cancel and exits the list
d) Start - Brings up a debug save prompt. If you choose "End" then the game
will save and reset. Everything like a normal save point is saved except when
loading the save file you will be brought back to the last save point you saved
at.
e) Select - Lists the enemies (name and the palette counter value) in the room
and some value of the room (I do not know what it is). It may not correctly
display unless first accessing the list when pressing R on Controller 2.
To use the codes below it is recommended or required to have debug mode
enabled.
