Unused Graphics#

The game contains the tilemap and CHR data for an unused version of the "Owari" ("Ending") screen. Instead of Kunio's team celebrating, they are crawling out of the ocean (?) in despair. It seems that there was possibly a "bad ending" planned. In the final version, there is only one ending showing the team celebrating.

The most interesting thing is that the CHR data contains tiles for animating both of these screens, just like most of the other screens do. However, for some reason, they are left unused. Here you can see both endings in their animated forms:
