Accessing map FF00

Map FF00 can be accessed by loading a save file, then walking out of bounds before entering any other map. This can be done with the following walk through walls Gameshark codes: 0100A3CE, 0100A4CE, 0100A5CE, 0100A6CE. Walking through walls is also necessary to explore this map.

Attempting to load map FF00 by editing memory addresses DA00 and DA01, then going up and down the stairs in the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center, as is used to access many other glitch maps, will freeze the game.

Properties

Map FF00 is a relatively large map that plays the Route 22 music. Opening and closing any full-screen menu will reveal that it uses a route tileset, and also briefly change the player's sprite.

Regardless of where the player enters this map, they will start at coordinates (0, 2).

Rarely, entering map FF00 may cause the player's name, play time, and options to become corrupted.

It has a north connection to map 7900, a south connection to map 2706, a west connection to map 02F5, and an east connection to map 4700. Most of the time, these maps will freeze the game or cause a Glitch Dimension. Map 02F5 sometimes loads without freezing; when it does, it plays Route 11's music, is reported by the Pokégear to be in Route 15, and uses the tileset of a Pokémon mart.

Fly cannot be used to escape from this map.

Some effects of map 0xFF00 depend on where the player enters the map. Entering map FF00 from the player's room may freeze the game, or open a glitched Pokémon menu that freezes the game when interacted with. Entering it from an underground map such as Slowpoke Well or Mt. Silver may freeze the game.
