Reason given: Need to explore Areas more thoroughly, link a video demonstration, create separate pages for them, and link to them here, similarly to Starfy 3.
Test Stage area 1, map 1

A Test Stage appears in Densetsu no Starfy 2. It is partially unused, but contains some unused characters, Boss battles with broken tilesets, and ability demonstrations. There are at least three areas in it. The Test Stage is essentially "Stage 0" internally.


Access

All offsets are from the start of the ROM (add 0x8000000 if editing inside an emulator). The test stage may be accessed by modifying the ROM:

  • Change 2 bytes at 0xE4B38 from 36 D0 to C0 46. This patches an instruction that prevents access to Stage 0 from the Area select.
  • Edit the following bytes at 0x2C2644 and 0x2C2645. These control the Stage and Area, respectively, that the level marker for Stage 1-1 (post-Ending) takes Starfy.
    • For accessing the test stage, change 0x2C2644 from 0C to 00.
    • The byte at 0x2C2645 may be one of 01, 02, or 03 to take Starfy to a valid map.
  • To change the starting map, edit the byte at 0xE67F0 (01 by default)
