Pressing Select on the above screen shows you the CPU, PPU1 and PPU2 chip versions that your system has, just like The Lion King (SNES).

Additionally, there's text for a MOVIE TEST located at 0x1B818 in the US ROM, however there is no such option present in this menu, which suggests it may have been removed before the game went into production.
