Hard Mode (MMBN2)

How to Access

To start, all 5 Stars must be present next to CONTINUE. Highlight NEW GAME and input the button command: L L R L R L R R. Pressing the orange NEW GAME will begin Hard Mode. Saving in Hard Mode will make a CONT. HARD on the title screen. This is a second save file that won't affect your CONTINUE file.

Starting a New Game in Normal Mode will not delete the Hard Mode file. Inputting the code and doing the process again starts a New Game to overwrite an existing Hard Mode save.

Completing the story in Hard Mode will award a special congratulations image, and the CONTINUE file will receive 1 Sanctuary chip. Hard Mode can go achieve Normal Mode's goals to receive Stars, but Stars will not appear next to CONT. HARD.
