Present at ROM offset 0x000044 is text for the TomSoft SDK, which was used to develop this game.

Also, there's MS-DOS stuff scattered everywhere in the ROM. This and the above may be a result of not compiling the game properly.

Unused Levels#

The game contains five levels, but you cannot beat Stage 3 normally because trying to exit will cause Panda Baby to glitch out to the top of the screen. As a result, two other levels cannot be accessed normally: Setting the RAM address $0340 to 03 will load a cave level with an impossible jump, or 04 for a mine cart level where once you reach the end of the level you fall to your death.
