Say, Konami really liked the idea of rapidly spinning a joystick. So much that most of this game revolves around two of these, one for each hand. Ouch.

Unused Graphics

English Assets

These three assets are leftovers from asian version of Gachaga Champ.

Early Title Screen Variant

An early variant of the title screen graphic, which uses different fonts and has several coloring differences.

Placeholder Graphics

Inside the game's PC Card memory data lies two unused graphics:

This first is a plain red graphic with the text "だみぃ" [dummy] crudely written on it. It is found twice in the minigame icon assets, labeled as STAGE_MAP_DUMMY0 and STAGE_MAP_DUMMY1 internally.

This second graphic, labeled r_objerror internally, is found near the interface assets.
