Unused Graphics#

A couple of placeholder graphics.

Graphics for an English version of the Toto World 3 logo, present at offset 0x30000 in the Korean version. These were removed from the Australian version.

While a region switch has yet to be found, copying the whole English title screen's CHR bank to the Korean version's one (0x38000) reveals that it's fully assembled.

Easter Egg#

To do:
Make a cheat code to reduce the wait to 1 minute.

Much like in Koko Adventure, if the player accumulates up to 50 minutes of actual gameplay, the game will automatically pause and show this screen. Pressing either button 1 or 2 unpauses the game, but if the player waits for at least 5 minutes, they'll be earned an extra life.

Bizarrely, the text is in Korean even in the Australian version. Someone in the localization team must've missed this part...

Regional Differences#

Title Screen#

Korea

Australia

The title screen was overhauled, dropping the nice scenery in favor of...nothing.

Sound#

To do:
Sound effects and more music tracks need to be compared too.

For whatever reason, the Australian version has worse sounds, as the music and sound effects play louder than intended. Below are comparisons between the title screen and World 1 themes.
