General Notes

Spoiler: Show/Hide

The provided cheats
- are optimized to be used with Luma3DS~Rosalina's cheat engine,
- 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 & 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.

About

( TLDR: Happy cheating! )

Hi all!

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 & 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 & Toad Houses.

The entire process took quite some time (over a month for the initial release) and a lot of research, trial & error, digging and testing, while in meantime documenting the most important steps & findings along the way. Overall, in my humble opinion, I think the result is worthwhile.

Feel free to give these cheats a tryout. Also, feel free to improve where and if needed.

To whom may concern, I uploaded my developer notes to my repository for those interested in reading about how these codes came to be (see link above). Please note I can not guarantee all information is 100% correct, although it can be a bit of help (as in: an additional resource) for those learning how to cheat.
