Cutie Suzuki No Ringside Angel

A game about attractive women beating each other up.

Unused Menu Remnants#

The following strings are offset from ASCII, with "A" being equal to $01.

Text relating to an unused Sound Test mode exists at ROM address $004E9C. Assuming the character $2F would have been used for spaces and the text wraps around after 14 characters on this screen, the area in ROM covering the Sound Test text looks like the following:

 SOUND TEST   
 BGM          
 FM           
 PSG          
 EXIT         

Starting around ROM address $005463 are text strings relating to an Option Select menu, which seems to be more of a development cheat menu than anything. Assuming character $55 is a line break, and $00 is used for spaces this time, this is how the text is shown:

 OPTION SELECT 
 KEEP WIN
 KEEP GUTS
 SUPER GIRL
 SOUND TEST

There are more text strings directly after these but they list out the different league names and the names of the characters. These may or may not actually be related to the Option Select menu.

Obscured Graphics#

The graphic of Cutie Suzuki on the title screen is normally cut off by the right and bottom sides of the screen. The "PUSH START KEY" text is also written over the graphics displayed over her body. The tiles that this text overwrites can still be found in a VDP viewer while on the title screen.

Both Players Using The Same Character#

It's not known if this behavior is a glitch or if it's meant to be an actual intended cheat. When selecting the 2nd character (either Player 2 or a computer player), press A + B + Start while highlighting the slot where the 1st player's chosen character is. The 2nd player's selected character will now be the same as the 1st player's.
