Level Select/Screen Editor

This game uses the Taito Code:

1. Hold the Service Coin button upon booting, and wait until a "SERVICE SWITCH ERROR" message pops up on the screen.
2. Press 1P Start (x3), Service Coin, then 1P Start again.

Afterwards, the game boots as normal. However, upon inserting a credit, the game redirects to a level select screen. The inputs are the same between P1 and P2.

• Left/Right or Up/Down - Switch between "GAME" and "SCREEN EDITER".
• Button 1 + Left/Right / Up/Down - Change Round value.
• Button 2 + Left/Right / Up/Down - Change Room value.
• Start - Apply

Should the "Screen Editor" function be chosen, the player is redirected to what seems to be a level editor of sorts. Controls:

• 1P Start: Switch between "Scroll" and "Edit" functions.
• SCROLL
  • 1P Up/Down/Left/Right - Move camera.
  • 1P Button 1 + 1P Up/Down - Change PRI parameter of tile.

Bunny Girl

In the Japanese version, you can trigger a secret after defeating the last boss. First, collect all the chests in the room, then walk near the entrance or the right-side of the room (the location can vary) and a bunny will magically appear. The bunny will turn into a bunny girl and she'll drop several pieces of equipment for you.
