Notes

Hidden Logo

At the game over screen, hold Select + Right then press Start to see the developer's logo screen.

This also acts as a continue code, as the game does not reset the level, score or jewelry count after pressing Start on this screen.

Anti-Piracy

• Upon starting a new game, the game performs a checksum on the CHR data.
• Upon reaching a new level, right before spawning the magic block, the game performs a checksum on most of the PRG data.

If either check fails, the game locks up.

Hidden Features

If you hold Select while pressing A or B, the current piece will flip vertically rather than just shift the colors around, a nifty little trick that isn't mentioned anywhere. Further, since vertical flips aren't part of the Columns franchise, it's unlikely that most players would know it's possible.
