Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is basically an updated version of Super Monkey Ball 2 which includes all of the levels from Super Monkey Ball as well as some new levels.
Most of the unused content from the first Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2 can still be found in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, so this page will cover content only unused in Deluxe.

Debug Mode
The debug mode from Super Monkey Ball 2 is present in Deluxe. It can be activated in the PS2 NTSC version using these raw codes:
| NTSC-U | NTSC-J |
|---|---|
004C2F04 00000003 | 004D2300 00000003 |
On Xbox, this can be done by setting the value at address 0x892118 to 03, or address 0xD08BE118 on Xbox 360.
Once enabled, the main debug menu can be opened at the title screen by pressing Cross + Circle (PS2) or A + B (Xbox) at the same time. Another menu can be opened by pressing L1 + Start or Left Trigger + Start at any point in the game. This second menu (and anything created by it) can be re-positioned and resized using the thumb sticks, and closed with L1 + Triangle or Left Trigger + Y. Focus between multiple menus can be switched with L1 + Cross or Left Trigger + A.
A few cheat commands are also enabled:
- Pressing D-Pad Up will add 100 seconds to the game's timer, with a maximum time of 360.96.
- Pressing Square + Triangle or X + Y will instantly complete the current level.
- The game can be debug paused with R1 + Start or Right Trigger + Start which will display "DEBUG MODE" in the top right corner of the screen. Unpause with just Start.
- Pressing R2 or White while debug paused will advance the game by one frame.
- Pressing Square + Circle or X + B while debug paused will display a cursor that allows you click on UI elements with X or A and move them around the screen with the Left Stick.
- Pressing Triangle + Circle or Y + B while debug paused will unlock the camera. Pressing again will reset it but it won't take affect until the game is unpaused. Unlocking the camera also disables the above cursor.
A full documentation of the debug mode can be seen here. The debug menu is very prone to crashing in the PS2 version. The Xbox version doesn't have this problem.
