I saw that content creator Shenpai uploaded a video on this game:

I then noticed it was a 3DO title like Jonny Moseley Mad Trix, and since that game had debug menus, I abandoned the idea of maintaining a proper sleep schedule and had a quick look around. It was FILLED with references to various debug menus and even had a debug-related file on the disc.

Not wanting to go in blind, I looked up the game to see if anything debug-related had been found. Sure enough, it had a TCRF page with not only previously-unknown cheat codes but also some unused ones that were interesting. I decided to poke around that memory region to see if I could find anything.

In less than 10 minutes, I found a working freecam, and I got really excited when I found a functional debug sub-menu. In Jonny Moseley Mad Trix, the actual menus were removed so the pause menu had to be repurposed, but these menus actually existed. I eventually found all kinds of stuff and showed it to the TCRF Discord server.

Very quickly, punk7890, the person who made the Jonny Moseley Mad Trix debug menu pnach, put together one for this game that allows quick enabling and disabling of the Debug Pause Menu which allows access to all sorts of stuff. This video is just a small portion of the stuff you can do with this.
