==Debug menus==
There are several debug menus that do not require debug mode to be enabled, but can only be accessed through memory editing or Action Replay codes.

===Forest Map Select===
This menu allows the player to select from 52 maps, many of which are test maps. If the player enters or exits a building in any of these maps, the game returns to the Forest Map Select menu.

===Player select===
When activated, pressing Start on the title screen displays a player select menu. Any of the four players living in town can be chosen. When chosen, the game immediately loads the selected player in the center of the [[player house]] acre; selecting a player that does not exist takes the player to the game's introduction on the [[train]] with [[Rover]]. The player can also choose to spawn in as a visitor from another town.

This menu is left untranslated from Japanese, and since {{PG|nolink}}'s font does not contain Japanese characters, the text appears corrupted.

===Save type select===
When activated, pressing Start on the title screen displays this menu. It is a leftover from {{DnM}} and was likely used to test writing saves to both a Controller Pak and Game Pak.
