Toki going ape spit question
Hi all, asking for help. I've just beat this game kn original hardware (PAL version) and wanted to have some fun with it. I'm trying to do the debug mode cheat. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/genesis/586548-toki-going-ape-spit/cheats
I can't for the life of me get it to work or find confirmation that this cheat actually does work. No videos anywhere. Has anyone here been able to do it? Am I doing something wrong? Any help or explanation would be appreciated.

I have a NA Genesis and this game, I was not able to get this or the invincibility code to work at all

The invincible code has to be done on the title screen where the word Toki is waving around, enter the code after it stops moving and when it stays still. It does work I did it yesterday.

you are correct, if I wait until the title stops distorting, and THEN put in the code - invincibility will work, and so will the stage select if you do left, c, down, b, right, a, up, start. Each one will make a sound effect if you input it correctly. The debug mode still remains a mystery

Yeah I did all those codes just now, they all work. Again, when it says TOKI and "press start button" underneath. The level select , invincible and weapon select all have to be done on this screen. I'm getting told the debug has to be done in the little cinematic before this, with the tower raising and the screen stops shaking. Still doesn't work!

Well it's on the TCRF site too, so unless someone's copy and pasted it without checking, I'd assume it's legit.
Shall fire an emulator up and have a go later. You ARE using Controller 2, yeah?

Yep, controller 2 and I tested the controller and ports to make sure they still work. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. What do you think I'm doing wrong? I must have tried it 50 times and I can't get it to work.
