To change your character in vs mode, start a one-player game in VS Mode. After you win a match, press and hold the X and Y buttons. If done correctly, you will unlock the ability to select and play as any character you have defeated.
At the start of the game, when Yoshi appears on the screen and says “Nintendo!”, press B, A, L, L. If you hear a sound, the code was entered correctly. With this code active, the panels continue to rise even when you make a combo or a chain, instead of stopping.
To play as the bosses, on the two-player Character Select screen, have both players press the L and R buttons at the exact same time. When performed correctly, this input unlocks the boss characters, allowing them to be selected and used in two-player matches.
Start a new one-player game in VS Mode. When you reach the Set Level screen, highlight “Hard.” Using Controller 1, hold Up + L, then press A. If entered correctly, Super Hard Mode will be activated, making the gameplay significantly more challenging with faster and more aggressive panel behavior.
