Unused Graphics#

Default

Unused

The octopus has three alternate palettes that aren't called anywhere. These palettes are exclusive to the player object; they can't be used by enemy objects. Mysterious.

Used

Full

The hearts that appear after meeting the yellow octopus have four frames of animation, but only three are used.

Another thing that octopuses eat
An unused level obstacle. It's a clam or something. No graphics in the ROM for an open clam, though.
