Debug Password

Entering たたかい (Japan) or GG62 (US) as a password will take you to a looping rock-paper-scissors mini-game. The only way out of it is to reset.

Unused Graphics

Located near the title screen graphics. Judging by their arrangement, they were most likely supposed to spell out "FILE".

Leftover Kanji symbols from the Japanese version. Not used in the US version for obvious reasons.

Unused Text

A curious string is present near the end of the ROM at 0x3FFF0 in both versions. For some reason, this text was changed in the US version.

Unused Music

Track 8 of the NSF file is unused.

Track 14 is not unused, but is rarely heard in-game as the "Game Over" music if the player manages to lose to Minister Pumpkin.
