MAME cheat for hidden content
I created a MAME cheat file to hide the Amazon's leaf, and also an option to use the tile viewer mentioned in the article (put this file in the cheats folder, run the command line "mame -cheat", or edit mame.ini to set cheat to 1).

This should work with any revision of Strider if you rename it to match the ROM name, I think. All of them have the same memory layout for graphics. The leaf cheat just replaces all the leaf pixels with the transparent colour. The tile viewer cheat requires that you set the dip switch for test mode, and activate it on the menu screen before pressing button 1 to enter it, however it is almost identical to pressing F4 in MAME to view tiles, so it's not that useful overall. - Rainwarrior 16:41, 23 January 2013 (EST)

Track 03 is not unused
I was informed recently that this track isn't actually unused, it is merely obscure. When you climb the tower above the laser-shooting sub-boss, there is a change of music and a bunch of mechanical flyers appear. If from here you jump to the left, the 1st level BGM4 music will play. - Rainwarrior (talk) 10:34, 2 December 2013 (EST)
