Enter both crane codes
- Inspect the computer console and note both crane patterns.
- Go to the crane control panel and wait for the beep.
- Enter the first two-button sequence.
- Wait for the next prompt if needed, then enter the second sequence. Each code moves one metal barrel and clears the way past both barrels.
The walkthrough-listed inputs are:
| Version | First sequence | Second sequence |
|---|---|---|
| SNES, Nintendo DS, PlayStation | X, A | B, B |
| PC | A, B | Y, Y |
These platform-specific sequences are reported by walkthroughs rather than an official version-by-version control guide. Follow the patterns shown on your in-game console if the listed inputs do not match your version. (Ludo.guide; ArrPeeGeeZ)
Crane codes are not the factory password
The crane sequences are separate from the factory master password. A GameFAQs reference lists the crane codes as X, A and B, B, while X, A, B, Y is the factory password. (GameFAQs)
