Start with Debug Mode#

Use the following code to add the menu "デバックモードで始める" (Start with Debug Mode). However, doing this will stop the game.

Option Mode Select#

Set 0x09 to 0x80322E50 as unsigned 32 (JP) to display "Option Mode Select".

Unused Graphics#

Sergei's texture contains a scar above his right eye. However, Sergei never takes off his mask during gameplay, so this can never be seen. Oddly enough, Sergei doesn't have a scar in the special ending image, which is the only time he can be seen without a mask.

Unseen Details#

Marcia wears white undergarments that can never be seen due to the game's restricted camera movement. This detail is unique to Marcia.

Regional Differences#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: See if the models for the altered content are still in the game data. The Fukashi/Marv wanted poster is edited to include the character's name change. See if there's any remnants of linking to GX in the US version.

Title Screen#

The subtitle Battle Revolution was removed, along with Japanese writing, since it was the first game in the series to be localized outside of Japan.

Opening#

The opening cinematic has a licensed vocal track Identity -prologue-. It was replaced in the English version, but the file remains there unused.

Hero#

JP	US

The Hero wears a long headband in the Japanese version that was removed in the English version. Interestingly, an NPC in the lab refers to it as a "goofy hair ribbon", indicating it may have been removed after the English script was finalized. It also appears in the special ending image.

Portraits#

JP	US

The sweat drop from the Hero's "uneasy" portrait was removed for the English release.

JP	US

Harry's "uneasy" portrait underwent the same change as above, and another portrait was redrawn to be less exaggerated.

GX Link#

The Japanese version has a feature to link to the GBA game Custom Robo GX, unlocking a superboss in GX and providing an alternate way to obtain certain unlockables that otherwise require playing its multiplayer mode. As GX was never officially released in English, this isn't possible in the English version.
