The code (Gamecube): 'Left, Up, A, X' (3 times), then Up 5 times. It must be entered in the scrapbook section of the pause menu. I have confirmed that it works in game.
The unlock all levels cheat code is problematic for the w/Cheats run category.
As the rules stand now, there is no obligation to complete all of the levels. This means that the player should enter the code immediately in Shrek's Swamp and then exit the level and beat Final Fight. This is not good because the run is now basically the same as an individual level run of Final Fight.
If the rules are changed so that all of the levels must be completed, then the run will become very similar to the NewGame+ category. The player will enter the code to unlock all levels and the code to gain coins and then complete the levels with attack upgrades first.
Both of these result in runs very similar to existing categories (IL Final Fight / NewGame+). IF we want to keep the w/Cheats category as it exists (which is basically an infinite coins run, because that is the only cheat code worth using), then the unlock all levels cheat code should be banned.
In conclusion, in my opinion, the unlock all levels code should be banned in the w/Cheats category OR the with cheats category should be removed as it will be too similar to other categories.
What could be a possible solution is if you have Cheat% which is basically input code, go to final boss and win, and then have something like Restricted Cheat%, where you ban the all levels code?
The problem with the first category you suggest is that it is basically a single level run. We already have an individual level leaderboard for single level runs, so it is unnecessary.
A Restircted Cheat% has no glaring problems and the current w/Cheats runs already fit the criteria, though I do wonder if we need a cheats category at all.
The reason I think the first category is different from an IL is that it goes from starting a new game to "beating" the game using the In-Game cheats, and is done from a new file, what I could do is make Any% w/Cheats into Restricted Cheat%, and move it to being a miscellaneous category, and then add a cheat% category if anyone completes a run?
I suppose the runs (w/Cheats and IL Final Fight) are slightly different. They do both only play through a single level though. I don't think they are different enough to be worth keeping, but if you do that is fine.
Restricting the current w/Cheats category and then adding an unrestricted one if someone does a run sounds like a good idea.
