Level Select

It seems, there is no code to set the level select flag, only initial clear, so probably it was just a developer's shortcut. Use the Game Genie code 011-58F-E6A and reset the console. The level select screen will appear right before the game starts. Press Select to choose the level, press Start to play.

Like the movie it is based on, the game's name and title screen were shortened to just "Dennis" in the European version in order to avoid confusion with the other Dennis the Menace. The SNES version has the same edit.
