'...But what does it mean?' |
Super Black Bass Pocket was originally released in Japan with Super Game Boy support, then brought to the US as Super Black Bass by HOT-B as a monochrome Game Boy game. SGB support and battery save were removed entirely—the latter replaced with a password system—presumably so that the game could be released on a smaller, cheaper cartridge (512KB vs. the 1024KB original).
Sound Test#
While on the boat, pause the game, press B seven times, and then un-pause for the Sound Test, which also has a volume setting.

At the title screen, press Select, Up, Down, A, Left, Start. The message above will pop up when starting the game to confirm correct entry, and a handful of debug screens/menus can now be accessed during gameplay by holding Select and pressing one of the buttons below:

Unfortunately, the debug menus (with the exception of the sound test) weren't translated for the English release (perhaps the localization team was unaware of their existence?).
