Soccer Brawl (Neo Geo)

Revisional Differences#

The MVS version (NGM-031) of the game shows the scoreboard after someone scores a goal, but the bottom half of the screen is strangely empty. The AES version (NGH-031) shows two girls posing underneath the scoreboard. The graphics for the girls exist in the arcade cart's data, but they're not used.

Padding and Leftover Graphics#

Some padding tiles found within the game's graphic banks.

These are found in the 8×8 graphic bank and are unused. Most of these are from Puzzled, a game released in 1990, but the first two rows are also present in Cyber-Lip. The palette shown here is incorrect; the transparent color is not set correctly in the loaded palette, but it does exist, and is shown above. Pink squares are empty areas set to the proper transparent color.
