Last Alert is a run-'n'-gun game most remarkable for its voice-acted cutscenes - especially those of the English dub, featuring some of the worst best acting in the history of video games.
Debug Menu#
At the title screen, once the animation finishes and "Push Run Trigger" appears, hold Select and press I, II, I, II, Up, Down, then release Select and press Run. If done correctly, you will be taken to a two-page debug menu with a cutscene viewer, a sound test and a color test. Press II to switch between pages and I to select.
Unused Audio#
Two English voice tracks on the US disc are unused.
In the Japanese version, there is pre-fight dialogue with the claw boss in Mr. Lee's compound. This was dubbed into English, but was replaced by a short musical sting that occupies Track 57 on the US disc. The dubbed dialogue is in the same place as its equivalent in the Japanese version, Track 8.

English |
Boss: Guy, I'm going to give you a ticket to Hell as a present! |
The Japanese version also has additional dialogue with Dr. Garcia following the first boss fight against him. This was also dubbed into English, but it was replaced with another piece of music that plays from Track 58 of the US disc. Again, this dialogue remains in the same part of the disc as its Japanese equivalent, Track 33.
