Finding Nemo (Game Boy Advance)

Based on the classic Pixar film of the same name, with a really compressed version of Pixar’s logo.

Unused Music#

An unusually unsettling droning. Originally intended for the level Abyss, it ended up reusing the same track for Jellyfish Search.

Internal Level Names#

Present at 0x2E17C in the ROM are the internal names for each of the levels and memory match games. The level "Meeting Dory" is referred to as "test" and the level "Aquarium" is referred to as "prototype". It's possible these levels may have been the first ones to be developed.
