Notes

God Mode

Similar to World of Illusion, there are remnants of a free-movement god mode. This time around, it can only be triggered with Pro Action Replay (PAR) codes FFEE07:00FF (Kega) or FFEE06:00FF (Gens). To cancel it, disable the code and press A + Start.

Revisional Differences

Various changes were made to the 01 revision, mostly optimizing things. For some reason the cartridge PCB was also changed to map the ROM in an unusual way, possibly as an anti-piracy measure.

Intro

Rev 00 Rev 01

  • A space was added between the comma and Dewey's name in the intro text in 01.

Menus

  • In rev 00, pressing Right in the Sound Test goes straight to Mexico rather than Duckburg, this was fixed in 01.
  • The music for Hideout and The Island were swapped in the Sound Test.
  • Looking at an item closes the item menu afterwards in 00, in 01 you stay in the menu. Conversely, attempting to call the airplane without standing on a flag closes the menu on 01, while 00 stays in the menu.

Stages

  • The sliding doors in Mexico and Egypt have their "Open" bit set as soon they are opened in rev 01, rather than needing to wait for them to fully open in order to enter them.
  • In 00, Hideout uses the Hideout theme in the first area and changes to the 01 Island theme afterwards. Rev 01 uses the Hideout theme for the whole stage.
  • In rev 00, The Island uses the Room2 theme for the whole stage.

  • Various items were added to the entrance of The Island's temple area in 01.
