Control Samus costume's visor
While playing the game or during cutscenes, hold Down for a few seconds to move the visor on Samus' costume.
Skipping cutscenes
After completing Story mode on any difficulty, you can skip any cutscene by pressing ZR + Minus (-), instead of having to use the pause menu.
Starting battles in Witch Time
During cutscenes, press ZL and ZR to make Bayonetta avoid attacks. There is no prompt to do this, but if done correctly, you will start the battle after the cutscene in Witch Time.
Turning jets into Arwing
While wearing the Star Mercenary costume in both the Prologue and Chapter 16, it will change the jets into an Arwing from Star Fox. This is purely cosmetic in the Prologue, but it is fully playable in Chapter 16 and changes the way the Jetfighter Assault section is played.
