Finish, Shining Force 3 Scenario Three, and create a completed save file, now when you start a new game or load up a previous save game. Go to the configuration menu and highlight the Difficulty Select and then press down on the joypad a new menu option will appear. With this option you can listen to all the Music, Jingles, Sound Effects and Voices found in the game.Pendolf with Rubber Ring
When in the village with the hotspring's Dormanto, if you head to the hot spring at the back of the village you'll see Pendolf on a rubber ring floating around in it. Even in the world of Shining penguins still can't swim.Quick load (Scenario 2 & 3)
To quickly load up you last save game, while playing press and hold A+B+C & START and keep them held down, the game will soft reset and load up your last save game. This trick is very handy for when you're trying to get the blacksmith to make a certain item or if you like the best level up's possible. Note, you must keep A+B+C & START held down else, it will just soft reset the game back to the title screen.Remove Battle Text in fight Scene's
If you press start while the 3D fight cut scenes are being played, the character name and energy bars will disappear.Change Battle Map Camera Angle
To change the view while on a battlefield, press the X button, there are 3 different views you can choose from.Changes Fight Scenes Camera Angle (Scenario 2 & 3)
To change the view while watching a 3D fight cut scene press Y or Z for different views.Sound Bug
The in game music drops out from time to time, happens more with the faster pace tunes.Counter Bug, Enemies Gain Experience
Sometimes the enemies will gain experience when they counter one of your characters, a prime offender of this is the Vandal, don't worry however as even if they do get 100 points they can't go up a level.Play as Rogan
With the aid of an action replay code it is possible to play as General Rogan in Scenario 3. He was going to be a playable character in Scenario 3, but he was taken out. In order to play as Rogan enter the following Action Replay code:16030FB4 3333
Word of warning, it is advised that you don't use this code till the start of chapter 4, as that was when he was going to join. Also if you take Rogan you must leave one character behind, it is recommend that you don't take Unoma, otherwise it will crash the game. Rogan can equip Swords & Maces, he can also be promoted, but he does start at Level 1 and so needs some training.
Disappearing Sprite Bug
Not too many people have had this one but it does happen and anyone can produce it. I've had it happen to me in all three scenarios. It's possible in battle, when moving a character, to get them to fall through the floor. Find and area where there are 2 different heights, and a sheer drop between then, the bigger the drop the more likely this will happen. Then move your character rapidly between the too different heights, when the character drops down, there is a chance they will crash through the floor, leaving only their top half visible. The first time I had this happen I was playing scenario 3, it was the final battle of chapter 3 and Donhort dropped into the floor, you couldn't see his legs. It also works better if the drop is off a cliff ledge rather than a box or barrel.Spare Edmund
It's possible to spare Edmund in Scenario 3, but only if you have an Action Replay, what you have to do is use the gameshark code that allows you to play as both Edmund and Produn. Then kill all the enemies in the battle with Edmund you should now beable to spare him. The gameshark code unlocks a scene that was taken out of the game, but left on the disc, where Edmund is spared.Play with a finished Scenario 3 Team
Finish, Shining Force 3 Scenario 3, and create a completed save file, now start a new game and select your finish game as the savefile you want to use to start your game with. You will now begin a Scenario 3 game and all the your character stats will be the same as your finished game, plus you can carry on leveling up your characters making them even more powerful, Scenario 3 also becomes a walk over.Garosh Statistic Bug
This is a well known bug and the reason why a lot of people take Jade over Garosh, when Garosh reaches Promotion 3 Level 20, he starts getting -8 HP on his level up's. This goes on till he reaches level 30 where it stops. The only way to deal with this problem is to get lots of Health Bread and Brave apples and give them to him.Infinite Level up's with Julian and Gracia Bug
When replaying Scenario 3 with a finished Scenario 3 savefile, when you get to the Evolution battle, where Julian and Gracia are promoted. After you have finished the battle, the cutscene where they get promoted will play again and if you look at Julian and Garcia Level you will notice it has been reset to 1, yet their stats have not changed. Julain and Gracia will now begin to get lots of experience points again and beable to quickly go up levels, making them super powerful.Replay Bug
If you replay scenario 3 with a finished save game, you will notice lots of costume changes, as characters will swap between their second and third promotion costume. For example in the Walcuray scene where it first appears you will note that Julian and Gracia costumes will change back to their second promotion one's.Secret Galm and Elise Talk Scene
When, THE END screen appears with Gabriel and Jane on it, don't press anything and leave the game for about 5 minutes. The screen will go black then Elise will appear and congratulate Galm on a job well done. It adds a very dark ending to SF3 as it turns out that Galm got Julian to destroy Bulzome for him, the plot thickens.
