In addition to all of the cheat codes and unlockable extras in Panzer Dragoon, there are a few other odds and ends that are probably worth mentioning; they’re detailed in this section.

Die Instantaneously
At any point during gameplay, you can press A + B + C + L + R simultaneously to make yourself die straight away.
On a PC keyboard, you’ll need to press X + V + B + Z + C.
On an Xbox controller, you’ll need to press A + B + Black + L + R.
Clear the Pause Screen
When the game is paused, you can press X + Y + Z simultaneously to make the on-screen text disappear, which is pretty convenient for taking screenshots.
On an Xbox controller, you’ll need to press X + Y + White.
Note: This doesn’t appear to work in the PC version of the game.
Examine the Sega Logo Character
When the Sega logo character appears during one of the intro sequences, you can press X + Y + Z + Start simultaneously on a second controller to enter an odd viewing mode, where you can examine the logo character’s 3D model. Still using the second controller, the available actions are:
- Press
UporDownto zoom out or in - Press
LeftorRightto rotate the view about the z-axis - Press
XorYto alter the lighting - Press
A + LeftorA + Rightto rotate the view about the y-axis - Press
A + UporA + Downto rotate the view about the x-axis - Press
A + B + Cto reset the image
When you’re finished, press Start on the first controller to exit.
In the PC version of the game, you only need to press A + S + D to enter the viewing mode when the Sega logo man appears. The other buttons translate to their normal equivalents on the PC keyboard.
Note: This little oddity doesn’t seem to be implemented in the Xbox version of the game.
