To us, we have concluded that the cheat code menu was an originally PC-only mechanic, meaning that it is only possible, in any way, to activate the cheat code menu only on an PC/with an Bluetooth keyboard attached (by pressing 9 while on the VS and Battle modes). So, this mechanic is now concluded to be impossible on mobile controls. But here is the question and speculation, my friends: Is there any way to activate the cheat code menu on console controllers (specifically PS/Xbox controllers)?

I don’t think so…

I tested this on an Xbox controller, I tried pressing all buttons but I just can’t seem to open the cheat code menu for some reason.

Is it on the options < external controller < controller settings < gamepad.
Now press any button

I see that, but there isn’t an cheat code button listed.

If I dug deeper into the game’s files…
There are two gamepad controller strings.

This is the first case, for first person gamepads.
up:[1],
down:[0],
left:[[-1]],
right:[[1]],
item:[6],
item_back:[[0,1],6],
item_fwd:[[0,-1],6],
jump:[7],
balloon:[2],
rear:[3],
pause:[9],
quit:[16]
As you can see, the cheat code string is actually missing for the normal, single player, case. But there is one more thing: if the game doesn’t recognise the controller properly, or alternatively, clone the second person’s controls, according to the codes we are left with these “default” controls:
up:[38],
down:[40],
left:[37],
right:[39],
item:[32],
item_back:[67],
item_fwd:[86],
jump:[17,18],
balloon:[16],
rear:[88],
pause:[80],
quit:[27],
cheat:[120,33,57,105]
up:[1],
down:[0],
left:[[-1]],
right:[[1]],
item:[6],
item_back:[[0,1],6],
item_fwd:[[0,-1],6],
jump:[7],
balloon:[2],

interesting 👀, and if so, what do these numbers mean?
On 2023-07-16 at 22:25:07
These are the numbers assigned to the “buttons”.

ok !
and in this case do the numbers for the "cheat" mean certain buttons or not?
On 2023-07-16 at 22:56:10
As for the “cheat buttons”, I wasn’t sure for the respective buttons, since in the code, there are listed multiple numbers, that are much more confusing. I’m sorry that I couldn’t provide you with his detail. But one thing is clear, the cheat string isn’t present on the normal gamepad controls.

But this means that, due to a lack of the “cheat” string for the regular gamepad controls, there is actually no way to activate the cheat menu with any method, sadly.
