SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 (Nintendo DS): Cheats, Unlockables, and Tips

There are no official cheat codes (button combinations or password entries) for SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 on Nintendo DS. Developer Yuke's / Publisher THQ did not include traditional cheat menus in the DS version.

How to Unlock Content Legitimately

• Road to WrestleMania (Story Mode): Complete specific chapters/matches to unlock legends (e.g., Stone Cold, The Rock), arenas, and attire.
• Season Mode: Play through calendar years; winning titles unlocks belts and superstars.
• Create Modes: Creating a certain number of CAWs, move-sets, or entrances unlocks extra slots/parts.
• Exhibition Achievements: Win specific match types (TLC, Cage, Royal Rumble) for rewards.

External Devices (Action Replay / Flashcarts)

Devices like Action Replay DS can inject codes for infinite health, stamina, or unlock-all. However:

• Codes are version-specific (US/EU/JP).
• Risk of save corruption.
• Disables Wi-Fi/online play (anti-cheat).
• Firmware updates may block the device.

Gameplay Tips for Mastery

• Reversal Timing: Tap A / B exactly on impact flash (not early).
• Stamina Management: Don't spam grapples; use strikes to breathe.
• Target Limbs: Work a body part (Head/Leg/Arm) to increase submission/pin success.
• Momentum Shift: Taunt (D-Pad) when momentum bar is low to rebuild.

The DS version is a stripped-down port; focus on Season Mode for the deepest single-player unlocks.
