I'm stuck on both of these and can't see myself getting any further without level select or continues cheats.
I found codes on gamefaqs but they won't work of my Japanese versions so I'm presuming they're for US versions only.
Are there cheats for the Japanese versions of Legendary Axe 1 & 2?
Thanks.

The credits cheat should work on both games in both regions... anyway:
For Ankoku Densetsu (LAII), courtesy of Charles MacDonald
Sound Test:
ATS: II, I, II, I, I, II, I, II, II, II
Select sound with II,I, press RUN to play. Play song 99 to exit and start the game.
Stage Select
ATS: I, II, I, II, II, I, II, I, I, I
(For an unused debug/test mode:)
The test mode is a little different; I don't think the code exists in the game to call it. You can patch the ROM (I used Ankuku Densetsu (J).pce) to force the test mode instead of the sound test by changing:
$390C7: Replace $98 with $89
By the way, some other cheats I found but only posted on MagicEngine's site perhaps:
Anyway, other hidden passwords: Enter "KOALA" as your name in Neutopia II for a surprising change in your character's appearance, as well as bonus potions. For the PC-Engine version, use the name こあら.
Well, first, here are all the cheats that I've found for Granzört, accessible in the regular game:
Create Sample Play data (seen in the demos):
When the title is swaying on-screen, press 1, 2, and then wait until the title and the triangular cursor for selecting 1P or 2P have fully appeared, then press 2, 2, 1, RUN.
Full Magic Power (never depletes):
When the title is swaying on-screen, press 1, Select, 2, and then wait until the title and the triangular cursor for selecting 1P or 2P have fully appeared, then press D, U, D, 2, RUN.
Turbo Shot:
When the title is swaying on-screen, press U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, 2, 1, RUN
Stage Select:
When the title is swaying on-screen, press D, D, D, D, and then wait until the title and the triangular cursor for selecting 1P or 2P have fully appeared, then press U, L, D, R, RUN.
Sound Test:
When the title is swaying on-screen, press U, U, D, D, 1, 2, RUN.
There is also a debug menu, but it is only accessible through a RAM or ROM hack.
(http://www.chrismcovell.com/images/granzortdebug.gif)
The easiest way to get this is to set RAM location $3780 to #$20 (or "FF3780:20" in Tototek's code format, I think.)
I have no idea what the DUMP POSITION command does, but the SAMPLE PLAY command lets you record your gameplay until you die, then PLAY DATA plays that back (once you get back into the debug menu through a reset.)
First, Atomic Robo-Kid:
At the title screen, press U,D,L,R,1,2,1,2,U,D,L,R,1,2,2,1,Select to see the ending. There's a debug code in this game somewhere, but I don't know how to access it. Perhaps some more advanced hackers can take a look at it.
Anyway, if you want to enable some cheats in ARK, you can set RAM location $2205 to the following values using a cheat device like a flash cartridge:
01: non-death
02: map select (press select to choose a map; hold the pad and select together to scroll your character freely around the screen.)
04: display map position
08: step execute (pause the game and press select to advance frames.)
Add the values together to enable multiple cheats.
Gomola Speed has lots of cool stuff for us:
At the title screen, press U,D,L,R,1,2,1,2,Select to enable bomb-shooting in the game.
Press U,D,L,R,1,2,1,2,U,D,L,R,1,2,2,1,Select to view the ending.
Press U,D,L,R,1,2,1,2,U,D,L,R,1,2,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,U,U,D,D,L,L,R,R,Select to enter the CHECK MODE.
In the "options":
Hit Check: Turn off for invincibility.
Area Select: Ingame,press select+1 to choose a map; hold select and use the pad to scroll your character freely around the screen.
Step Execute: Ingame, pause the game and press select to advance frames.
Position Dp: Displays map position.
Pause Dp: Shows/Hides the "Pause" text.
Full Command: Allows passwords for Acts 21-25 to be accepted.
And on that note, here are the passwords for Gomola Speed (the second code for each act is for a harder version (?) of the act:

If anyone can tell me what the last 8 codes are for, please do!
Here's a funny alternate mode that you can access in Download 2. Go to the debug menu (ATS press SEL, (I,II)x5, SEL) and choose to view the ending cinema (#9). At the very end, when "NEC Avenue / SOFIX" are shown on the screen and the music has stopped, press and hold UP+SEL+II and keep holding them (?) until the debug menu comes back on. Choose a valid stage, and all the smaller enemies in the game will be replaced by crazy cartoon characters, like Ultraman, Bakabon, Moomin, etc! Each stage has something weird to see.
This cheat took me a few tries before it worked, so perhaps you should try this with an emu and savestates first.
Hi, folks. I did a bit of hacking, and found the secret codes for the ridiculously, unimaginably awful CD game, Legion. There are 4 in total:
At the title screen press the following (carefully):
D,R,L,D,L,R,U,2,1, RUN, to have the narration accompanied by text.
U,D,L,D,L,R,R,2,U,1,1, RUN, to activate the in-game "edit mode". In-game, pause and press I to bring up a cheat menu. Also you can press Select to have the game display some numbers for scrolling at the bottom of the screen.
U,R,2,R,L,R,L,2,D,2,L,2,R,L,1, RUN, to activate the debug mode.
U,D,U,D,2,1,L,R,L,2,D,2,L,2,2,1, RUN, to see the ending.
If you want a two-player game [someone to share in the agony?! Ugh!], press select before pressing RUN.
Enjoy?

The Ankoko Densetsu cheat works, and I hacked the ROM to make that change... it ended up being a little past $390C7 due to the header on my ROM image but it worked nonetheless:

I then used it to set health, bombs, and lives to 99, and stage to 7... check out this ridiculously high final score:

Thanks fellas.
I'm not playing the roms however I finally got the legendary axe 2 level select working. Starting from the begining I managed to get up the the last stage but it's kicking my ass.
Legendary Axe 1 on the other hand is still killing me. I keep wasting all my lives on the stupidly strict jumping sections. Does anyone know if the supposed code for extra continues works? I've not got it to work.
"At the Game Over screen, set I on turbo and hold down I and Select while pressing Left multiple times."
