Hidden Text

This game shares the same music driver library that many other NES Ocean Software games used. As a result, there is a hidden version and copyright string:

MUSIC DRIVER V1.0 (C)JONATHAN DUNN & OCEAN SOFTWARE

Unused Graphics

A gravestone. A leftover from The Addams Family.

The end of the ROM has some more leftover graphics from The Addams Family, which isn't that surprising, as both games seem to use the same engine.

Ocean Plaza

Press A, B, B, A, Left, Right, Left, Right at the title screen, and a triangle will appear at the left upper screen corner of the screen, if done right. Now, you can play the "Ocean Plaza" level, which is otherwise unlocked only after all the pieces of the map have been reassembled.
