Cheat Codes
The following table contains memory address cheat codes that can be used with an emulator such as ZSNES.[1]
| Cheat Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 7E02CA:70 | P1 HP meter always full |
| 7E02CC:50 | P1 AP meter 1/2 full |
| 7E02CC:A0 | P1 AP meter full |

| 7E0AC4:07 | Secret Level / End This code will take you to the end of the game after you've selected a character in 1P MODE.
If you activate this code after you've been defeated (e.g., at the "continue" screen), when you continue, you will go straight to your character's ending.
If you haven't used any continues, you'll first be taken to the "secret stage" where you fight a gray Kenshirou. (Normally, you must beat all of the other characters without continuing to get to the "Gray Kenshirou".) If you defeat "Gray Kenshirou", deactivate this code immediately. (Otherwise you'll go to another "vs." screen as if you are going to fight another opponent. But instead you will be facing the defeated "Gray Kenshirou" lying on the ground. Your character will jump in the air, then the sprites will get corrupted, and the game freezes.) |
| 7E0ABD:0x Replace "x" with a digit, 0-8. (See description column.) |
Player 1 codes These codes will force player 1 to be a certain character. This allows you to have two of the same character fight each other in "FREE MODE". (You must only activate the p1 code after you have selected a character.)
For the first battle after you've selected your character in 1P FIGHT or 2P FIGHT mode, sometimes the character's sprites will be messed up. After you die and continue, or win and fight a different character, the sprites should return to normal. 7E0ABD0x (replace x with character's number)
