Shrek 2 Remastered Cheats: All Scrapbook Codes
All four Shrek 2 Remastered cheat codes: 1,000 coins, refill health, unlock bonus levels and unlock any level, with the exact Scrapbook button sequences.
Shrek 2 Remastered has four cheat codes entered in the Scrapbook: 1,000 Gold Coins, Refill Health, Unlock Bonus and Unlock Level. Each is a button sequence that starts with Left, Up, A, X three times. The game plays a chime when a code is accepted.
The remaster keeps the original game's cheat menu and adds it to the Scrapbook. The codes are not listed in the game; they were discovered by the community and carried over from the 2004 release.
The codes are entered with a controller. The game recommends a gamepad on PC, so plug one in before trying the sequences. The on-screen prompts use Xbox-style button names.
Where to enter cheats
- Open the storybook hub.
- Select Scrapbook.
- Open the cheat entry screen.
- Enter the sequence with the controller.
- Listen for the chime.
If the sequence is wrong, nothing happens. There is no error message and no penalty. You can retry immediately.
The Scrapbook is available from the start of the game. You do not need to finish the story to use the codes.
All four codes
| Cheat | Sequence | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 Gold Coins | Left, Up, A, X ×3, then X ×6 | Adds 1,000 coins |
| Refill Health | Left, Up, A, X ×3, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up | Restores the party's health |
| Unlock Bonus | Left, Up, A, X ×3, Y, X, Y, X, Y, X | Unlocks the bonus levels |
| Unlock Level | Left, Up, A, X ×3, Up ×5 | Unlocks level select |
The shared prefix is Left, Up, A, X repeated three times. If you can enter that consistently, the rest of each code is short.
1,000 Gold Coins
This is the most useful code for a new save. Coins buy Crazy Larry's nine upgrades, and the full set costs 10,000 coins. The code gives you 1,000 per entry, so ten entries buy everything.
The code can be entered repeatedly. There is no daily limit and no cooldown. If you want to skip the coin grind, enter it ten times and buy the upgrades at the first shop.
The coins are added to the current save. They do not carry between saves.
Refill Health
The health code restores the party to full. It is useful during the final fight and the Cookie Cookie water-cannon sequence, where a single mistake can wipe the group.
The code does not grant invincibility. It only refills the health bar you already have. If a character is down, the code does not revive them; you still need a health potion or a checkpoint.
Unlock Bonus
The bonus code unlocks the five bonus levels without collecting Snapshots. The levels still require the storybook hub's Bonus menu, but they are available immediately.
This code is the fastest way to try Crash Coliseum, which is the best enemy grind in the game. It also unlocks Ring Coliseum, Floating Floor, Cloud Maze and Cage Drop.
The bonus levels do not count toward the 70 Snapshots. Unlocking them early does not skip the collectible run.
Unlock Level
The level code unlocks level select. It lets you jump to any chapter without finishing the story.
This is useful for cleanup runs: you can jump to a chapter with a missing bean, finish it and return to the hub. It does not mark chapters as complete, so story achievements still require a real playthrough.
The code does not unlock the final chapter's bosses for the achievement. You still need to beat them legitimately.
Do cheats disable achievements?
The game does not document whether cheats disable achievements. The safe approach is to keep two saves: one clean save for achievements and one cheat save for experimentation.
If you use the coin code on your main save, you may still earn achievements normally. There is no confirmation either way, so treat this as unverified.
Codes vs. the remaster's Cheat Mode
The remaster adds a Cheat Mode menu alongside the Scrapbook codes. The menu is a separate feature that lets you toggle cheats without entering sequences. The Scrapbook codes are the classic method and still work.
If the Scrapbook sequence does not register, try the Cheat Mode menu first. It may be the intended path on your platform.
Which code should you enter first?
If you are stuck on a boss, enter Refill Health first; it costs nothing and gets you back into the fight. If you are short on upgrades, enter 1,000 Gold Coins and buy the health and regeneration upgrades before the attack upgrades. Unlock Level is best used on a second save to sample a chapter you have not reached, because skipping chapters on your main save can leave story achievements and Snapshot totals out of order. Unlock Bonus is the cleanup code: use it only after the five bonus levels are the last thing between you and the Movie Stills.
All four codes can be entered more than once. The coin code adds another 1,000 each time, so you can fund every upgrade without grinding if you are willing to use it.
If you want to keep achievements clean, read the achievement roadmap → before using the coin code on your main save.
