Space Station Silicon Valley is a 3D platformer where the player takes control of different robot animals to solve puzzles. Although well received, it's notorious for being buggy. Bug examples include a nasty glitch in the USA 1.0 version that causes crashes if an Expansion Pak is used, and an item in all versions with no hit box that makes 100% completion impossible.

• 2Unused Animals

Debug Mode

This makes the player's coordinates appear at the top right corner, as well as a version number. There doesn't seem to be any other functions.

Unused Animals

There are several unused animals in the game, some of which were included in the PlayStation version of the game. Use the codes below to start a level as the corresponding animal.

Cod

Code:803F2D6B 000C

The Cod has no model, and is invisible if it's hacked into the game. It's exactly like the Cool Cod from the Ice levels.

Crow

Code:803F2D6B 002B

The Crow has no model, and is invisible if it's hacked into the game. It seems to be the Europe levels answer to the Seagull, Parrot, and Vulture. It has a very incomplete flight control, and it does nothing if B is pressed. Strangely, its B skill is listed as 'bombs,' but the other 3 birds simply have a claw attack for close range.

Frog

Code:803F2D6B 0008

The Frog has no model of its own, however, if it's hacked into the game, it blacks out the screen if the camera gets up close to it in a Europe level. Afar, it looks like a small Bear's torso. Its description also does not work if the player tries to view it in a Europe level. However, it does work in other areas. Its Jumping is like the Springy Thingy's. Its Tongue Attack appears to do nothing.

Heli-Mouse

Code:803F2D6B 0015

The Heli-Mouse has no model, and is invisible if it's hacked into the game. It's exactly like the Heli-Rabbit. The Heli-Mouse seemed to have been intended to drop bombs like the Heli-Rabbit, but if the B button is pressed, the ability skill gauge goes down, but nothing happens.

Mouse

Code:803F2D6B 0010

The mouse looks just like the Racing Mouse, except with feet instead of wheels. It's very weak and slow, and its jump is roughly the same hight as the Dog's jump. The Mouse's 'Radar Ears' don't do anything but make the Mouse's ears disappear. It may have been intended to detect far-off enemies or items.

Racing Hippo

Code:803F2D6B 0003

The Racing Hippo has no model, and is invisible if it's hacked into the game. Neither of its abilities seem to work, but both gauges go down if the respective buttons are pressed.

Unused Animal Descriptions

Some animals can't be brought into areas where descriptions are given, leaving their descriptions unused.

Unused Areas

In the very first level (Smashing Start), a hidden area exists on the other side of the wall beside the waterfall. The layout of this place closely matches the main portion of the level, as it's an undamaged version of 'Smashing Start' that's used during the crash landing section of the intro cutscene. The area is mostly flat, with several trees and flowers, and it contains an invisible but functional pool of water in the spot corresponding with the waterfall. Even though only some of the area is shown during the cutscene, the area is fully modelled and has correct collision.

It's possible to reach this area without hacking by controlling the dog and using a crate to jump on top of the stereo speaker on the port side of the spaceship, as shown in the video. Barking while standing on a speaker launches you into the air, and pressing A and B to jump and bark simultaneously gives you just enough extra height to clear the level's perimeter cliff.

Development Text

Present at 0x7CEF30 in the ROM are some development related strings.

Hidden Text

Present at 0x7D1220 in the ROM is the text that's displayed in the background when you take control of a new animal. Although it is used, it's almost impossible to read in-game since it scrolls so fast.

Japanese Language Option

Present in the USA and European versions of the game is a normally inaccessible Japanese language option. Since the game was never released in Japan, this localization is never used. You can access it by using one of the below GameShark codes.

Regional Differences

Unlike many N64 games, SSSV was programmed so the exact same code could be used in multiple regions. Simply changing the region in the header can switch the game between English only (NTSC-U), Japanese only (NTSC-J), and European multi-language (PAL). The cutscene timing also updates based on the Region code.

Originally it was thought that the European version of the game added a check for the Expansion Pak. This fixes a bug present in the USA 1.0 and Japanese 'prototype' version where the game would randomly crash during cutscenes if an Expansion Pak is used. It was later found that a USA 1.1 version exists that also includes this fix. The crash can be fixed in earlier versions by using a ROM patch or two simple GameShark codes.

There exists a Japanese 'prototype' ROM which is simply the NTSC-U 1.0 ROM with the region changed in the header. There is also part of what appears to be some compressed code added to the end of the Japanese 'prototype' ROM. The origin of this ROM is unknown.
