Secret Message#

This message can be accessed in the game by entering "ERI" in all highscore places. The screen will appear for about 50 seconds before jumping back to the title screen. The song "Haya Oh" plays over it and fades out before the title screen appears.

The message can be found in the ROM starting at 0x4002E. It reads:

WORNDERFUL   FANTASTIC

YOU, SMART GUY


PLEASE SEND US YOUR THOUGHTS
TO THIS GAME. WE'LL ANSWER A
LETTER WITH SOMETHING TO THE
FIRST TEN PERSONS.

SO, FORGIVE US, IF YOUR LETTER
IS OUT OF TEN, WE CAN'T REPLY

YOU CAN FIND THIS MESSAGE?

Sound Test#

Press Right, Left, Down, Up at the title screen.

Hidden Options Menu#

After entering the Sound Test, play songs in the following order to access a hidden options menu: 7, 4, 3, 7, 4, 8, 1. Use the D-Pad to move to each song and press the 1 button to play it in order for this to work.

If you set "Player" to "Jet", you will actually have a different in-game player character. This sprite is not complete; dying or tripping over bushes will turn it back into the human character.
