It contains a good selection of cheat codes (or for some codes: optimize and convert), as well as some new and unique codes that are not found in any other cheat code releases for this game, for instance, a full 100% (5 Shiny Stars) unlock code, together with options to open any closed Mystery Boxes & Toad Houses.


<div style="text-align: center">
The entire process took over a month and a lot of research, trial and error, digging and testing, while in meantime documenting the most important steps and findings along the way. The [https://github.com/KimDebroye/N3DS-Cheat-Codes/blob/master/Super%20Mario%203D%20Land/_DevNotes/SM3DL_DevNotes.txt developer notes] are made available for those who are interested in reading about how these codes came to be.

==Installation==
[ [https://github.com/KimDebroye/N3DS-Cheat-Codes/releases/tag/SM3DL_v1.1.0 '''Download CTRPF Alternative Latest Release (GitHub)'''] ]

According to developer the CTRPF version offers the most stable experience. Both works on all regions and revisions of the game.


</div>
===CTRPluginFramework===
<div class="bbCodeHeader">
This alternative version contains the same release as the original, in addition optimized for and bundled with:
* boot.3dsx - [[The Homebrew Launcher 3DS|Homebrew Launcher]] v2.1.0. Latest version is available at the project's page.
* default.3gx - [[CTRPluginFramework_3DS|CTRPluginFramework]]. Latest version is at [https://discord.gg/z4ZMh27 Nanquitas' Playground] announcements channel.
* boot.firm - A modified build of Luma 3DS v10.0.1. Check [[Luma3DS 3GX Loader Edition 3DS|Luma3DS 3GX Loader Edition]] for latest version.


'''Cheat Codes Overview'''
CTRPF vs Luma3DS version:
* CTRFP version is suited for those encounter game crash issues when using Luma 3DS cheat engine.
* Cheat code Moon Jump was changed to a value suited for use with CTRPluginFramework.
* The cheats contained within this package can also be used with Luma 3DS cheat engine (with the exception of the previously mentioned Moon Jump code, unless the value is changed).


</div>
To install, copy all files contained in the package to the root of the SD card.
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

==User guide==
===General Notes===
* All cheat codes should be optimized for all regions & revisions.
* In order for enabled cheat codes to take effect, depending on the code enabled, some codes require you to:
** Use a button combination.
** Trigger a screen transition, e.g. Switch between worlds on World Map (if more then one world opened).
** Enter and exit a level (vaild options include pause then return to map/level select, and complete a level).
* It is strongly recommended not to enable all cheat codes at once and occasionally disable any cheat codes that aren't of use anymore.
* In order to be successfully disabled, the following cheat codes need to be disabled when not in a level:
** Always Tail Attack (Any Powerup).
** Always Flutter (Any Powerup).
** Increased Speed (Land) - Can also be disabled when in level, standing still on land.
** Increased Speed (Underwater) - Can also be disabled when in level, standing still on land.

==Known issues==
<div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">
The cheats often crash when using the Luma 3DS cheat engine (See [https://github.com/KimDebroye/N3DS-Cheat-Codes/blob/master/Super%20Mario%203D%20Land/_DevNotes/SM3DL_DevNotes.txt Dev Notes] and [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-super-mario-3d-land-cheat-codes.554275/page-2#post-8961684 discussion thread]). If that happens it is advised you use the CTRPF alternative version instead.


<span>Spoiler: <span class="SpoilerTitle">Show/Hide</span></span>
Though working on a real 3DS handheld device, the Unlock cheat codes should be considered experimental, as stated in [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-super-mario-3d-land-cheat-codes.554275/post-8961435 general remarks]. Issues that are still present:
<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">
* (Keep) Open Closed Mystery Boxes & (Keep) Open Closed Toad Houses are prone to occasional crashes. An occasional crash won't harm save file.
* Turning on certain cheat codes, could possibly lead to a(n understandable) crash when exiting game. An occasional crash won't harm save file.


* The provided cheats
==Compatibility==
** are '''optimized to be used with Luma3DS~Rosalina's cheat engine''',
Compatible with Old & New 2DS/3DS XL (Custom Firmware Luma3DS 10.0.1 and 9.1, with/without CTRPF plugin loader).
** without the need of BootNTR Selector or CTRPluginFramework,
(''so no restart required when willing to play another game'').
** are also '''compatible with the latest Citra builds''',
*** ''except for the unlock code (don't use on Citra,
works though seems to ruin save game).''
* All cheat codes should be '''optimized for all regions &amp; revisions'''.
** ''Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.''
* In order for enabled cheat codes to take effect, depending on the code enabled,
'''some codes require you to''':
** '''''Use a button combination.'''''
*** ''These codes are marked with a *
and list the button combination to be used between (parentheses).''
** '''''Trigger a screen transition.'''
Accomplishable by, for example:''
*** ''Switching between Worlds on World Map
(if more then one World opened).''
*** ''Entering and exiting a level.''
**** ''For exiting a level, any of the following options are valid:''
***** ''Pause and return to map (level select).''
***** ''Finish a level.''
* In order to be successfully disabled,
'''the following cheat codes need to be disabled when not in a level''':
** ''Always Tail Attack (Any Powerup)''
** ''Always Flutter (Any Powerup)''
** ''Increased Speed (Land)''
*** ''Can also be disabled when in level,
standing still on land.''
** ''Increased Speed (Underwater)''
*** ''Can also be disabled when in level,
standing still on land.''
** ''Infinite Time''


<div style="text-align: center">
==Changelog==
'''Version 1.1.0'''
* Added new cheat codes for all regions:
** Compatibility yet to be tested/confirmed for regions other than EUR/USA.
** Increased Speed (Land)
** Increased Speed (Underwater)
* Adjusted cheat codes:

<span style="font-size: 10px">( TLDR: Happy cheating! )</span>
 
Hi all!
 
 
<div style="text-align:justify">
 
Due to the fact I couldn't find any complete or open sourced list of cheat codes for Nintendo's Super Mario 3D Land, I decided to put together (or for some codes: optimize &amp; convert) a good selection of cheat codes myself. I even worked on some new and unique codes that I haven't seen in other cheat code releases for this game, like a full 100% (5 Shiny Stars) unlock code, together with options to open any closed Mystery Boxes &amp; Toad Houses.
 
</div>
 
 
<div style="text-align:justify">
 
The entire process took quite some time (over a month for the initial release) and a lot of research, trial &amp; error, digging and testing, while in meantime documenting the most important steps &amp; findings along the way. Overall, in my humble opinion, I think the result is worthwhile.
 
</div>
 
Feel free to give these cheats a tryout. Also, feel free to improve where and if needed.

This is an open sourced collection of cheat codes for Nintendo's Super Mario 3D Land organized by KimDebroye.

It contains a good selection of cheat codes (or for some codes: optimize and convert), as well as some new and unique codes that are not found in any other cheat code releases for this game, for instance, a full 100% (5 Shiny Stars) unlock code, together with options to open any closed Mystery Boxes & Toad Houses.

The entire process took over a month and a lot of research, trial and error, digging and testing, while in meantime documenting the most important steps and findings along the way. The developer notes are made available for those who are interested in reading about how these codes came to be.

Installation

Release contains an original version to be used with Luma3DS cheat engine and an alternative CTRPF plugin version.

According to developer the CTRPF version offers the most stable experience. Both works on all regions and revisions of the game.

CTRPluginFramework

This alternative version contains the same release as the original, in addition optimized for and bundled with:

CTRPF vs Luma3DS version:

  • CTRFP version is suited for those encounter game crash issues when using Luma 3DS cheat engine.
  • Cheat code Moon Jump was changed to a value suited for use with CTRPluginFramework.
  • The cheats contained within this package can also be used with Luma 3DS cheat engine (with the exception of the previously mentioned Moon Jump code, unless the value is changed).

To install, copy all files contained in the package to the root of the SD card.

  • If necessary, create a backup of boot.firm and boot.3dsx and any other file that may be overwritten.
  • Launch/Reboot the 3DS system (using the modified Luma 3DS 10.0.1 build).
  • Before launching a game, press L+Down+Select to open the Luma 3DS menu. Make sure Plugin Loader is set to Enabled.

How to use cheats:

  • Launch the game, a blue screen flash and a Plugin ready! notification should appear.
  • Press Select (or ZL or any other key depending on CTRPF settings) to open/close the CTRPluginFramework menu.
  • Select ActionReplay to enable/disable cheats.

Luma3DS cheat engine

This version requires Custom Firmware Luma3DS 9.1 or higher:

  • Create a folder named cheats on the root of your SD/MicroSD card (if it doesn't already exist).
  • Place/Overwrite the .txt file(s) containing the cheats for your game region in this folder.
    • EUR - SD:/cheats/0004000000053F00.txt
    • USA - SD:/cheats/0004000000054000.txt
    • TWN - SD:/cheats/0004000000089E00.txt
    • JPN - SD:/cheats/0004000000054100.txt

To use, launch the game and pull up the Rosalina menu (L+Down+Select).

  • Select the menu option Cheats.
  • Select the cheats you want to activate by pressing the A button.
  • Certain cheats need additional key combinations when in game. These cheats are marked with a * and also mention the key combinations to use in order to activate the cheat.
  • Exit out of the Rosalina menu by pressing the B button until the game is back in focus.

General Notes

  • All cheat codes should be optimized for all regions & revisions.
  • In order for enabled cheat codes to take effect, depending on the code enabled, some codes require you to:
    • Use a button combination.

    • Enter and exit a level (vaild options include pause then return to map/level select, and complete a level).
  • It is strongly recommended not to enable all cheat codes at once and occasionally disable any cheat codes that aren't of use anymore.
  • In order to be successfully disabled, the following cheat codes need to be disabled when not in a level:
    • Always Tail Attack (Any Powerup).
    • Always Flutter (Any Powerup).

Known issues

The cheats often crash when using the Luma 3DS cheat engine (See Dev Notes and discussion thread). If that happens it is advised you use the CTRPF alternative version instead.

Though working on a real 3DS handheld device, the Unlock cheat codes should be considered experimental, as stated in general remarks. Issues that are still present:

  • (Keep) Open Closed Mystery Boxes & (Keep) Open Closed Toad Houses are prone to occasional crashes. An occasional crash won't harm save file.
  • Turning on certain cheat codes, could possibly lead to a(n understandable) crash when exiting game. An occasional crash won't harm save file.

Compatibility

Compatible with Old & New 2DS/3DS XL (Custom Firmware Luma3DS 10.0.1 and 9.1, with/without CTRPF plugin loader).
