Fantasy Zone (NES, Tengen)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Rather than steal Sunsoft's Famicom Fantasy Zone like they did before, Tengen decided to actually show some effort this time and contracted a new port out to the Japanese made one themselves.

Level Skip#

Press Select to pause, then press B, A, B, A, Start, Select to skip to the next stage. You start off by cycling through each level, then through each boss, and finally to the ending, which appears to only show up for a few frames before sending you back to the first level.

Unused Graphics#

In-GameCorrected

For some reason, four tiles to the right of the "Y" are overwritten with tiles from the top portion of the "F" graphic. As a result, part of the foliage is never seen normally. The correct tiles are still in the CHR ROM.

Development Text#

Present near the end of the PRG ROM. It's unknown what "001" refers to.
