== Using Test Spawn ==
To test your mod, you can use the [[Mod Managers|Mod Manager]]'s <code>Test Spawn</code> tab (make sure developer settings are enabled in the <code>Manager Config</code> tab) to bypass all menus and put a specific character in any stage or cutscene. You can also specify a save file override or set up a specific position in the stage.
