The locations menu provides a list of every room in the game and allows you to warp directly to them. There are three different values for this:
- area: Rooms grouped together by location, such as Toad Town, Dry Dry Desert, Flower Fields, etc.
- map: The specific map in the selected area, typically accessed by a loading zone.
- entrance: Where the map will be accessed from. This is mostly for selecting a loading zone, but certain entrances are also used to start cutscenes. The general rule of thumb is that earlier entrances are for loading zones and later entrances are for cutscenes.
After selecting an area, map, and entrance, selecting warp will immediately warp you to your selected destination. This works even if you are in battle.
The bosses menu provides a list of every major, minor, and optional boss in the game. Upon making a selection, you will immediately enter the corresponding battle. If you're already in battle at the time, that battle will first be exited. Note that this can have strange effects if you're in a scripted battle.
Also note that when warping directly to Bowser's second phase, because the game normally carries Bowser's HP over from the first phase, a menu to select his starting HP is provided.
