The Gindows debug system UGA also used for Rez exists in Space Channel 5 Part 2 and seems fully functional. I demonstrate it here, but I do not fully understand all of the tools it provides.
Sometimes a boss debug mode loads for the second boss but unfortunately it did not load this time.
I started researching the game's main loop and then RocketHorse found the flag being referenced every time the loop was called.
