Kirby's Return to Dream Land Challenge Code

[FatalSe7en]

I'm here to ask for assistance in creating a cheat or modification for Kirby's Return to Dream Land that will damage the player when they press left or right (up or down since players hold the Wiimote sideways) on the D-pad.

I know the "Emo Kirby" Gecko code exists which is supposed to damage you if you move, but if you enter a new room with the code still active, you constantly take damage. I want to make a more stable version of this code.

I'm aware there is a Cheat Search function, but that didn't give me anything helpful. I'm out of guesses, so I'm here to ask for help on the matter.

I know there is a way to get inputs with a cheat code. I'm wondering where those addresses are and how I can make the game react to these inputs, specifically to damage Kirby upon pressing them. Basically, what I want is if either direction on the D-pad is held, it'll deal damage to Kirby like an enemy would. It should be simple enough to turn into a cheat code, considering how complex some cheat codes out there are.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Are there existing button activated codes for the game already? That would make it easier.

There are various tutorials on making button activators for gecko cheats. Search: gecko button activator

If pressing left/right while kirby is blocked from moving in that direction, do you still want to take damage?

It doesn't really matter to me, but preferably I would still want to take damage.

Also, yes, button-activated codes exist for this game.

Fwiw, if you're trying to make the game more difficult, you might enjoy the gecko code:

04502bd0 38807fff

Which causes Kirby to have very little health. (I don't remember whether he dies in a single hit or if it takes two hits, but it's one or the other.) I had a lot of fun fighting Wispy Woods in Extra mode with this code!

I know this isn't quite what you asked for, sorry if you already knew about it!

It's completely fine that you supplied me with another challenge code that I'm not looking for. In fact, I don't think I've known about it, so I do actually kind of appreciate it.
