Description
Quick Start
The main menu has a Quick Start option which is locked by default. There are three Quick Start options, all of which support selecting any level from the Story and Legend campaigns:
- 1PLAY MODE (Union Human vs. Guicy Computer)
- 2PLAY MODE (Union Human vs. Guicy Human)
- GUICY MODE (Union Computer vs. Human Guicy)
The menu is unlocked by beating both the Story and Legend campaigns (on either difficulty). In addition, there are a few ways to access it without beating them:
- With Game Genie codes: use the “enable Quick Start” code (00F-DDE-111) to access it temporarily. Alternately, use the “forfeit to win” code (0FB-3ED-21B), then start the final missions of each campaign by password (ZONECT and NECTOR) and forfeit to gain permanent access.
- With the N5UNLOCK software: receive the software from a friend or add it with the GBKiss Save Editor, then launch N5UNLOCK and unlock Quick Start.
Game Genie
The following Game Genie codes work in Nectaris:
- 0FB-3ED-21B: forfeit to win. Choosing “Give Up” from the pause menu ends in victory, not defeat.
- 00F-DDE-111: enable Quick Start. This is normally unlocked after beating both campaigns.
- 355-EDD-B1E: change 2PLAY to 0PLAY. The game supports CPU vs. CPU but it is normally unavailable.
- 302-C0B-212: say 0PLAY in menu. The previous code changes the behavior; this changes the text.

Trivia
