''This article is about the usage of DEVELOP mode in Melee. For a collection of images of each stage under the effects of DEVELOP mode, see [[Debug menu (SSBM)/Stage data|here]].''
[[File:DEVELOP-Mode-SSBM.png|thumb|''Melee'' when run in DEVELOP mode.]]
'''DEVELOP mode''' is a debug mode found in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' accessed through its {{SSBM|debug menu}}. The mode is activated by changing the '''DBLEVEL''' setting to ''DEVELOP''. This will give the player extra control over matches, including free camera, visual hitbox, and frame advance.
Below is a table detailing the controls for the DEVELOP mode extra controls. Through these controls, one can obtain free control over the camera, see character and stage hitboxes, frame advance the match, see the parts of the stage, and drop items (similar to Training Mode).

#Displays white polylines used for character costume physics like Link's and Young Link's hats, Marth's cape, and some of Jigglypuffs headwear.
#Displays a red gradient at the characters position marker as wide as the characters ECB indicating vertical motion since the last frame.
#Visualizes CPU logic. Places a sphere at the computer player's point of interest, green indicates the CPU will approach, red indicates the CPU will attack it, white indicates the CPU will recover towards it. Red squares around the CPU indicate the range of the attack chosen.
#Places white item grab boxes around the characters. These boxes turn blue when in the air. Also displays pink item catch boxes around items. When the white/or blue box intersects a pink box, the item can be grabbed. When white an item will continue to travel after pressing "A" to grab it, for 1 frame. When they are blue and Z is pressed to grab the item, the item will be instantly picked up (And instantly throwable). Also shows a smaller gray item lift box (grounded only), used for larger items like barrels, party balls, and crates.
#Displays a white sphere attached to the characters pelvis that experiences frame interpolation similar to hitboxes.
#Displays each player's coin detection spheres and displays a hitbox sphere on each coin. Player coin detection hitbox flicker because only half the players' coin collisions are processed each frame in order to save on resources.

Structures that appear darker than other structures are dynamic, meaning they convert between floor, wall, and ceiling in real-time as they animate. One example is the entirety of Brinstar Depths.

==Final Destination==
 
Final Destination features very little. It has a moderate-to-large blast box. The spawn points are evenly spaced out, as are the respawn points. Item spawn points are scattered in the air over the platform. The whole stage has basic terrain. Both ledges are grab-able, and the stage does not have any drop-through platforms.
