Daze Before Christmas (Genesis)

To do: Document the prototype version of the game.

Daze Before Christmas is a Christmas-themed platformer, like its SNES counterpart, except this version was only released in Australia. Go figure.

Developer Messages#

At Offset 0x48F0 to 0x4900:

SPIS MER IS!

A humorous developer message in Norwegian ("Eat more ice cream!").

Level Select#

At the title screen, press C, A, Right, Left, Right, Up, Left, A, Right (CARLRULAR). The level select screen will appear after you choose the amount of players. Note that "Christmas" is misspelled. The code may be a reference to Carl-Henrik Skårstedt, the game's programmer.

Hidden Text#

On the title screen, a hidden rude message directed at producer Sam Patel can be found. It’s normally offscreen, but it can be seen by using a graphics viewer (such as BizHawk’s VDP Viewer on the "BG A" layer).
