Debug Menu

For the debugging method in Mother 3, see Debug Room.

Debug Menus are user interfaces that allow the user to change a game's internal state. They are often used by the developers to easily test various parts of the game. EarthBound's debug menu can be accessed by using the Debug Menu Access Point in Onett. It can also be accessed using certain codes if the game is played in an emulator and "using" the ATM Card.^[1]

Access[]

The Debug Menu can be accessed in Onett. To reach it, you must use the skip sandwich to jump a cliff on Onett's north eastern side. From there keep going north east, past the trees until you get to an intersection of two blank blue walls. This can be shown at the right. From there, face north and "Check" the area several times.^[2]
