Unused Graphics
Mobichan's bowing animation has three frames in the ROM, but the game only uses two in the ending.

Debug Functions
There are a few debugging functions left in the game. All functions require that the Test Mode dip switch be turned on after the copyright screen appears.

Stage Select
Set the Slot A / Slot B credit settings to the appropriate values to start on a different stage.

Gameplay Debugging
If dip switch A3 (the display dip switch) is set, players will be invulnerable to enemies and enemy projectiles.

Unused Music
Track is a short celebratory track. It sounds similar to the track played after failing to get at least 70% of the ships destroyed, so it might have been used after successfully completing those sections.

Unused Text
Starting at in memory is instructional text that might have been displayed at the start of each ship section. SHOOT DOWN ATTACK AND SINK A SHIP

Region Differences
All of the default high scores in the Japanese game are ten times larger than their North American / European counterparts.

The European version swaps the palettes of the &copy; and 1987 CAPCOM.
