Beyblade V-Force: Super Tournament Battle

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

A game about the most interesting subject matter ever: Spinning tops.

Debug Menu#

To do: Document this further. Find a way to load these via Action Replay for easier testing. There are other rel files that are seemingly unused: apview.rel, dbgtest.rel, gimview.rel

A debug menu has been found by swapping menu.rel for dbgmenu.rel. Strangely enough, it mentions Game Boy Advance linkup, although it isn't operational.

Unused Text#

Unused GBA Connectivity#

It appears that there is unused GBA connectivity. Judging from the filenames, this sample code may have been used to send a video to the GBA.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Figure out what the hell this is.
