"Unlock" Cheat#

Like in Unconnected Marketeers, there is a beer-themed unlock cheat in this game: on the trophies and achievements screen, highlight the last achievement and type asahimaruefu. It's a reference to Asahi's "Maru F" beer.

If successful, one will hear the one-up sound. Unfortunately, the game does not appear to do anything else: all stages, ability cards, etc., remain locked.

Unused Unconnected Marketeers Logo for Demos#

Art comes from deviation. [source needed

Based on its filename and usage in Unconnected Marketeers, title/demoplay.png is supposed to be a flashing logo that shows up in attract mode demos; however, no demo mode exists for this game. It seems to be a leftover of Unconnected Marketeers.

Oddities#

Doubled "Select New Ability Card" Text#

For some reason, the "Select New Ability Card" text sprite in ability/abilitymenu.png has two copies of the Japanese text, overlapping each other.

Replay System Mentions#

The game has no replay system as of August 15, 2022, but there are traces of the system in the game's assets. This suggests that ZUN may have planned (or is planning) to have the feature in the game. It is also possible that these mentions are simply leftovers of Unconnected Marketeers, as this game reuses its assets.
