This page details one or more prototype versions of Cyber Troopers Virtual-On MARZ.

A demo version distributed in Japan and dated February 28, 2003, about two months before the final build. If you turn off the trial version flag, you will be able to play until the ending.

General Differences#

• The text of one of the title demos, the operating instructions, is different.

• Light processing seems to be different.
• The BGM for the final stage is "Crystal doom '03" because it has not been prepared yet.
• Two of the random missions, the trailer missions, are not working properly.
• EP5-3 displays dialogue that was unused in the final version
• EP6 and EP7 were originally called EP5EX and EP6
• Originally, up to 8 mission files were planned to be created, but due to the lack of space on the screen, the number was reduced to 6.

Debug Mode#

SYSTEM MENU#

This is an image of the SYSTEM menu with the up key pressed only once.

ARCADE SETTING#

It looks like you can change the challenge mode settings. Most values are not working.

COMMON SETTING#

Probably change AI settings. Since it doesn't appear to have changed after changing the values, it is possible that it is not working.

SOUND TEST(SOUND SETTING)#

EPISODE SELECT#

DRAMATIC MODE	EP6

VERSUS MODE#

When DEBUG MODE is enabled, VERSUS MODE stage selection will be in ID order.

PAUSE MENU#

This is an image of the PAUSE menu with the up key pressed only once.

IN BATTLE#

R3	L2

Debugging information about the status of the Virtualoid can be displayed by pressing the R3 button on the 2P controller during battle.

Also, by pressing L2 on the 2P controller, debugging information about the camera status will appear.

MAIN MENU#

When debug mode is turned on, three modes can be selected: OMAKE, iLink VS, and WATCH

OMAKE#

Selecting OMAKE will proceed to a screen where you can choose between two modes: "4INT VS" and "Smash Bro. VS"
Both can play 4-player games, but the difference between the two is unknown.

iLink VS#

When selected, the game will soft-lock.

WATCH#

Almost 100% soft lock. Even if the load succeeds, it does not work correctly,
In the few instances where we have successfully loaded, it seems that up to 8 vs. 8 can be played against each other.
However, the 8vs8 process could not keep up and the game soft-locked before it started.
It seems to be able to load successfully and play up to about 6vs6.
