Found a previously unfound "Watch Mode" in King of Monsters 2. The input sequence for it was right after the documented input sequence for the "Debug Mode". Here is how "Watch Mode" is activated on the Main Menu:
On Controller 1, press Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Left, Down, Right at the Takara Logo.
Here is a pic with "Watch Mode" enabled on the Main Menu:
"Watch Mode" does exactly what it says. The AI picks a random character and progresses through the single-player game.
Here are codes that activate the Debug Mode and Watch Mode selections on the Main Menu:
AJTA-AA76 Enable Debug Mode Selection on Main Menu (1 of 3)
AJTA-AA8L Enable Debug Mode Selection on Main Menu (2 of 3)
BYTA-AAE2 Enable Debug Mode Selection on Main Menu (3 of 3)
Note: Press any button on Controller 1 once, and only once, at the Sega Logo to activate.
credit hybrid for the first 2 codes that unlock the menu. The 3rd code I made maps the controller cheat input from P2's controller to P1's controller.
AJTT-AA3E Enable Watch Mode Selection on Main Menu (1 of 2)
AJTT-AA3W Enable Watch Mode Selection on Main Menu (2 of 2)
Note: Press any button on Controller 1 once, and only once, at the Takara Logo to activate.
FFFF0F:0001 Enable Debug Mode Selection on Main Menu
FFFF11:0001 Enable Watch Mode Selection on Main Menu
Here is another way to activate them that doesn't require any controller input. Both Menus are always loaded:
9WBT-CCLT Enable Debug Mode and Watch Mode Selections on Main Menu (1 of 5)
AGBT-CACW Enable Debug Mode and Watch Mode Selections on Main Menu (2 of 5)
AGBT-CACY Enable Debug Mode and Watch Mode Selections on Main Menu (3 of 5)
B4BT-D940 Enable Debug Mode and Watch Mode Selections on Main Menu (4 of 5)
RGBT-C6W2 Enable Debug Mode and Watch Mode Selections on Main Menu (5 of 5)
credit me, hybrid, and Tony H. for the above code.
To find the ROM code, I had to search the ROM in a hex editor for the string that got loaded into RAM.
