Extra Options Menu

At the main menu, press Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Up, Right, Left to make a second options menu appear. While many of the options are self-explanatory, a couple of them need to be explained better.

Soak Test: Runs continuous AI vs. AI matches. Soak testing is a method used by developers to test for memory leaks that only show up after extended usage. Play Bowling Game: Starts the match off with a bowling minigame (detailed in-depth below).

Bowling Minigame

As explained above, there is an option in Primal Rage to replace regular matches with a bowling minigame! The two fighters will walk offscreen, and a bunch of humans will run up, serving as the pins. The player(s) or COM can use the controller to line up their shots, which consists of the respective fighter rolling into the 'pins'. After the minigame ends (which consists of only two rounds), the match returns to normal.

Error Messages

At 0xCD22:

POSSIBLE HANG SITUATION !
DEFINATE HANG SITUATION !

These two error messages are located directly below the Extra Options menu's text. It's, uh, definately something.

To do: Is this the sound code? Probe did this often on its Game Boy titles.
