Nightmare in the Dark

Snow Bros. 3: With New Hellspawn.

Unused Music#

Several unused audio tracks are included in the game; a short loop (22) and two fanfares (23 and 2A). The game's music begins at 21, so two of these appear second and third in the index, perhaps suggesting they were composed early in development. The third is situated between the game opening tune and the stage intro jingle and could be speculated to be an early title screen fanfare. All of these tracks can be heard using M1 or the Universe BIOS's jukebox feature.

Hidden Level Select#

Normally, when you start a game loading a Memory Card, you start playing from the last level you saved. But, if you load the Memory Card with BIOS_DEVMODE enabled (see below), you access this fully functional level select. Use Up and Down to scroll the levels and press A to select and start the game. Consider that the timer (15 seconds), it's the unique thing glitched here.
