Hidden Screen

In the US and European versions, use Game Genie code NNTYEN to show this screen on power-on. On the Japanese FDS version, you will have to overwrite $DFE0 in RAM with the value $FF, then soft reset.

The "secret tricks" referenced are:

  • Holding A+B on both controllers and then pressing Start on the title screen will remove the goalies.
  • Holding A+B on both controllers and then pressing Start on the team selection screen will prevent the puck from being slowed down by friction.

Regional Differences

Teams

Japan was replaced with Sweden. The first two teams in the lineup were also swapped so USA appears first.

Despite this, the player types for the CPU teams (pictured on the right-hand side of the screen) weren't edited to reflect this change.

Music

Japan US/Europe

The main game music was completely redone.

The jingle that plays after a goal is scored was also changed.
