Trouble Shooter

Trouble Shooter is a scrolling shooter, known in Japan as Battle Mania, with a Japan only sequel in Battle Mania Daiginjou. It originated the characters of Madison and Crystal, a pair of teenage soldiers who would later appear in Sega's own Segagaga.

Level Select
At the title screen, press Start + Right + C on controller two. SELECT STAGE2 will appear if done correctly. Pressing the buttons again (still on controller two) will cycle through the stages, up to STAGE7, which is actually the end scene and credits. Press Start on controller one to begin the game at the chosen stage.

Super Famicom Stomp
Among other tweaks to the Japanese version is the addition of a hidden animation of Madison stomping on a Super Famicom. It is activated by the same button code as the level select, Start + Right + C on controller two, but this time held on startup, at the Sega logo screen.

Regional Differences
In addition to the obvious title switch, several other changes were made in the Japanese version. In keeping with the Battle Mania title, protagonist Madison was renamed Mania; her sidekick Crystal became Maria. The characters themselves are still referred to as "Trouble Shooters", and the internal name of the ROM is still TROUBLE SHOOTER.
