Pac-Attack Extra Difficulty Level

In Pac-Attack, as with the corresponding monochrome Game Boy version, a hidden difficulty level in its Normal Mode can be activated by holding Right while "Hyper" is highlighted at the level select screen, then confirming the selection. The game will then begin with a starting level of 300 and a starting score of 0 points. Also, selecting "Hyper" while holding Right+Down will begin a game with a starting level of 900 and a starting score of 0 points!

Super Game Boy

In the European version, the Super Game Boy features were disabled (setting the flag at 0x0146 to 00). Game Genie code 031-46F-E6A will enable them.
