RINGS OF SATURN: *Dark Savior* is a Saturn game with 5 "parallel" storylines. But are there any more? I found lots of unused stuff on one of the Dark Savior demo discs - beyond the demo restrictions, there are unfinished scenes that don't appear in the final game. More below!

It turns out that if you know your way around the Burning Rangers or NiGHTS code, it's easy to hack Sonic 3D Blast. Here's a thread with some cool stuff I've found! * Semi-playable Tails and Knuckles * Debug camera mode * Tiny Sonic / Giant Sonic

Knock knock it's Knuckles... in Sonic 3D Blast. Finishing the stage! To swap out Sonic's model by changing 0x060D00D6 to 0x2. Then patch out the writes to 0x06048912. He only glides because he's missing Sonic's animation set. The patches prevent the game from crashing on those.

RINGS OF SATURN: *Dragon's Dream* was an early online RPG for Saturn and PC. Its servers went offline in 1999, so it's been unplayable since then. However, it has some debug features that let you access the battle system! I made a patch to enable them. More below...

Even more Fighting Vipers: there's an unused stage (index 09) that looks unfinished. Its file name indicates that it's a "farm" stage. It's not in the arcade version, is it? Is it from some other AM2 game?

The survivors in Burning Rangers have lots of different animations, so with some hacking you can run into Claris Sinclair from NiGHTS in the hallway.

The port of *WORMS* for the Sega Saturn has an unused "Exit to DOS?" screen. Alas, it doesn't take you to DOS.

The Saturn Sonic Team games all have a pointer for indicating the "perspective" player. By changing it, you can, e.g. make the game focus on NiGHTS in the Ideya capture, Tails flying around in Sonic Jam's world, the other Burning Rangers in cut scenes...

*Panzer Dragoon II: Zwei* has a "Pandora's Box" mode that gives you lots of extra options. It activates when you fully clear the game / play at least 30 hours. ...or you can use these AR codes (US version). * D6080cca 6032 * 1607334a ffff

More Clockwork Knight 2: the PRIME SELECTION demo disc includes a prototype build. It lets you play level 5-1, there's more data hidden on the disc. Here's a video of 5-2, which you can normally only see in the "attract mode" demo. I've taken control of it so we can see it all!

Here's a cool Burning Rangers hack: control four characters at once with a single controller. When you're doing the training sequence, the game AI controls the other characters you meet. But you can flip a few bits to give control to yourself. There's a video below!

Here's Knuckles in motion! I haven't figured out how to get his textures Sonic 3D Blast yet, so he has Sonic's eyes and Tails's chest fur. The two games have different ideas about size, so I had to scale him up to look approximately right. This messes with his shading, however.

There's a demo of SILHOUETTE MIRAGE on the *Tech Saturn 1997-08* disc. It's got a bunch of concept art alongside a playable stage 2. The build is from 1997-05, as opposed to 1997-07 for the final game. So if you're interested in checking for prototype differences, give it a try!

The US version of Clockwork Knight 2 is based on the Japanese "Fukubukuro" compilation. The US game has seasonal title screens, but the Fukubukuro doesn't. I found a disabled feature in Fukubukuro that lets you see the screens by holding a button at startup! Details below...

Here's an unused camera mode in Burning Rangers. It's locked to the characters perspective, and you don't change it by 90 degress with the shoulder buttons. It's not great for moving in a straight line, which is why I presume it was unused!

There's a demo of an early version of Panzer Dragoon Zwei on Flash Sega Saturn #2 . It's got a hidden menu that's not present in other builds. It's not apparent what "Naka Dev" and "Yasu Dev" do, but they probably refer to the developers Hitoshi Nakanishi and Yuji Yasuhara

There are several cheat codes floating around for the Saturn version of RAYMAN that don't actually work. I looked and found 4 that do. I think they were unknown till now! Also, I found 3 others. I can't tell what they do - are there any Raypeople who can enlighten me?

Acclaim published a version of TIME COMMANDO for the Saturn in Japan in 1998. It's kind of rough to begin with, but it shipped with a fatal crash that can prevent you from finishing it. However, I fixed it! Get the patch below to play this... masterpiece... all the way through.
