A port of Taito's arcade hit Qix, the game where you draw lines to fill squares and avoid the giant titular Qix. Notable for being the only version to feature Mario, who appears after getting a high score and rewards the player by showing off various cultures of the world.
Unused Graphics#
A mummy-wrapped Mario and an Egyptian tileset, indicating that an Egyptian ending screen was planned.
A Native American Mario and tileset, indicating a Native American ending screen was also planned.
A hula dancer. There's no Polynesian Mario or tileset, so this is all that remains.
Unused Cheat#
