*'''Currently Known Accessible Debug Menus:'''
**Controller Port A:
***Main Debug Menu: On the Start Screen, Hold L+R while selecting New Game or while selecting a saved file (On Disc 1, selecting the Home Page option or holding L+R while the title screen is loading also works). Allows you to go to a selected map, initiate a custom battle/ship battle, use a sound test mode, and edit current party/items/equipment and enable battle skipping.
***Disable Collisions: Press L+R+Y. Does not work in Battle.
***Battle Debug Menu 1: Hold L+R. Allows you to change the stats of party members and enemies.
**Controller Port B:

**Controller Port C:
***Camera Debug Menu: Hold X+Y. Does not work in battle. Use to adjust camera angle, position, zoom, etc. If used in a cutscene, it often won’t progress until the camera debug is turned off again.
***Collision information menu: Press L+R+X to activate or deactivate. While active, pressing A will cycle through different hitbox and collision visualizations.
**Controller Port D:
***System Debug Menu: Press X. Does not work in battle. Pressing X cycles through a couple screens. The first four screens show different editable tables and values on the left side and a debug log on the right side, with most game actions printing something.

***Battle Debug Menu 2: Press Start during battle. Has multiple functions and information displays.
