Anti-Piracy/Region Lockout#

On several screen transitions starting from when the second screen shows up on the intro (with the plane), the game does two checks to ensure it isn't a pirated version for several frames: it first writes to SRAM at $700000, and checks if the console region is PAL. An original cartridge does not contain any SRAM, but cartridge copiers tend to include a large amount of SRAM to support a wide variety of games. If the SRAM write was successful or the game detects itself running on a PAL console, the game restarts, preventing the player from actually starting the game.
