Press R1 + L1 + Triangle + Circle + Up + Left + Select + Start at the "Select Game Type" menu. A grinding noise will confirm correct code entry. The easiest way to activate this combination is to hold the bottom of the controller to your chest. Press R1 and L1 with your thumbs. Press the other buttons simultaneously with your remaining fingers. Enter one of the following cheat mode controller actions:

Trippy mode
Hold R1 + L2 + Triangle + X, then press Up at any screen.

.MOD song
Hold L2 + R1 + Triangle, + X, then press Right. The next stage will have music played in .MOD format.

Hidden song
Hold R1 + L2 + Triangle + X, then press Down at any screen. The starting screen appear and a hidden song will begin playing.

Level skip
Press R1 + L2 during game play to skip to the next level, when the web contains no enemies. This will occur at the beginning of the level, or after pressing L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and using a Superzapper.

A.I. Droid
Hold L2 + R1 + Triangle, + X, then press Down. The A.I. Droid will say "Attack" to confirm correct code entry. Complete the current stage without losing a life or another cheat code. The first power-up on the next stage will be the A.I. Droid.

Begin a game in Temptest X3 mode and shoot the first target in the stage. Fire the supperzapper before the power-up reaches the top of the grid. Do not take this power-up. Continue normal game play to receive power-ups from most of the targets.

Earn a high score and enter GAY as initials. A pink triangle will appear in the high score screen background.

For a strange melting screen, hold L1 + R1 + Up-Left + Triangle + Circle + Start + Select. You'll hear a grinding noise. Release everything and hold L2 + R1 + X + Triangle + Down. You'll hear a spoken word if you did this right.

Once this code is activated you can skip a level at any time. To do so, press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 at any time. You'll warp to the next level as soon as there are no enemies on the web.
