Rabio Lepus Special/Hidden content

Back to: Rabio Lepus Special.

All of the button codes listed here require that the player alternates between pressing Ⅰ and Ⅱ with each input step. Rabio Lepus Special does not care which of the buttons is pressed so long as they are pressed a certain number of times and alternated accordingly. For example, HOLD  SELECT Ⅰ x37 Ⅱ x3 Ⅰ x4 Ⅱ x3 Ⅰ x2 and HOLD  SELECT Ⅱ x37 Ⅰ x3 Ⅱ x4 Ⅰ x3 Ⅱ x2 are both accepted by the game as the same cheat.

For easier reading, this page will list one method of entering the cheats, but the alternate methods will work too. Multiple cheats can also be applied at once (e.g. both 6 credits and 5 shield units).
