Hidden Movie

An Easter egg movie appears, starring the late president of Nintendo Co., Ltd., Hiroshi Yamauchi, speaking in Japanese about the game and the 64DD peripheral. The player can load and view it in-game under the Movie Creation Tool. The movie file is hidden under the user directory, in the bottom-most selectable slot.
