Debug Menu

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Verify if it´s possible to access the debug mode.

There are some remnants of a debug menu in the SLUS_014.04 file.

Leftovers

The international versions include some of the Japanese voices for the attacks.

Alternative Colored Characters

Hmmm...
To do:
Add codes for the European and Japanese releases.

DRA Alternative Colored Characters.jpg

While not unused, the characters have altered colors for when you play a mirror match. To play a mirror match in 2P VS or CPU VS, hold Select while selecting a Digimon (or its rookie/evolved counterpart) the other player has already selected. The only character that has an altered color visible in 1P mode without cheat codes is Reapermon. For whatever reason, the ability to play mirror matches is not mentioned in the manual. This normally isn't even possible to select an evolved form in the 1P mode at all without cheat codes, using this code will make you able to do so.

The music is different, too. The international versions use a new track, whereas the Japanese version uses "The biggest dreamer" (the Japanese intro of the third season/Tamers).

The title screen is different in the Japanese version. The European version uses the US title screen, but changes the copyright too.

Stage Music

All the Multiplayer music in the Japanese version is an instrumental version of a theme from the anime, whereas the international versions use new music tracks.

Digivolution

The Japanese version uses "Evolution" instead of "Digivolution". This is also reflected in the full Digivolution gauge sign.
