Popful Mail (PC-88)

An interesting amalgamation of (pretty much) every previous game Falcom has made, Popful Mail is an action side-scrolling game with plenty of platforming. This is the original version, released late into the PC-88's commercial life; Working Designs localized the later Sega CD port.

Item 0x04

Mail	Tatto	Gau

Every character has a slot for a 5th weapon. (Item # 0x04)

• All of them share the same name: ライトセーバー (Light Saber).
• Mail's slot is complete. Her weapon is available within the game and works fine.
• Tatto's slot has a sprite, but does nothing when used.
• Gau's slot has a red box and crashes the game when attempting to use it.

Item 0x13
The item behaves the same way as the upgraded Boomerang (ブーメランＤＸ), but trying to display it in the equipment page will crash the game.

Item 0x23
ストップウォッチ - Stop Watch. This item does nothing, even if given a timer, like ヘルメット (Helmet).

Item 0x2B
チェ～ン - Chain. Mail is the only one able to equip this. It has considerable range and even against late-game enemies, it does good damage.
