To do: Rip the cutscene music and Stage Clear jingle.

Set 1 does not have any music during the cutscenes where Lupin tries to impress Fujiko, but Set 2 does and also adds a Stage Clear jingle.

Cutscenes

Set 1	Set 2

In Set 1, after completing Stage 3 it shows the last cutscene where Lupin and Fujiko are in love. In Set 2 however, Fujiko says "Much Better!" and the player has to wait until completing Stage 4 where she says "Darling I love you!". Afterward, in both versions, the game loops the final cutscene after completing stages.
