Test Mode

A test mode, or "debug", is a mode in which manufacturers (Mattel, Hasbro, etc.) use to test talking toys/games to see if they are OK and that everything that the talking toy/game can do works. Test modes are not supposed to be performed by the consumers, but many YouTubers have uploaded test mode videos despite this.

Most talking toys that have a lot of different features (e.g Baby Alive dolls, toy robots, Bop It games) have a test mode that is accessed in a very specific way/order.
