Japanese Language

A list of languages is located at 0x4D58E6 in the US version of the game. The list mentions all the languages that the game was released in (though it only contains English text), but Japanese is also in that list. This game was not released in Japan - Nintendo ceased manufacturing Game Boy Advance games for the region in November 2006. So a Japanese version may have been planned at one point. The Nintendo DS version of the game did get a release in Japan.

Unused Passwords

A list of passwords is found at 0x49B20:

ZLB5R9? TH@YM]^ 
B4LL4RD J4SQNKR 
JV4ND1Z 3R1CQRR 
4NDR3W! X4V!3RJ 
M!CH43L H3L!X3! 
CR3D!TS 

Some of these (JV4ND1Z, 3R1CQRR, X4V!3RJ, H3L!X3!) and their effects are already documented at cheat sites. Seven of these passwords are references to various Helixe employees: Bill Ballard, Jason Kruse, Juan Diaz, Eric Orr, Andrew "Godzigla" Ziegler, Xavier Javornick, and Michael Krentz.

The game has the credits in the main menu, so CR3D!TS may be a leftover from an earlier point in development. And TH@YM]^ cannot be entered since it contains several characters that are not in the password screen. ZLB5R9? is a valid password but doesn't seem to do anything.

Censored Passwords

A list of swear passwords is found at 0x49B78:

B1TCHK! B1TCHK  
B1TCHJ  B1TCHH  
B1TCHB  MYB!CH  
B45TRD  P3N1SD  
PR!CKK  PR!CKC  
PR!CKD  PR1CKK  
PR1CKC  PR1CKD  
B!TCHK  B!TCHJ  
B!TCHH  B!TCHB  
SH!TRD  MYB1CH  
R3T9RD  B1TCH   
PR!CK   PR1CK   
B!TCH   D1CK    
D!CK    FVCK   

Passwords in the game are seven characters long. Most of the passwords in the list are six characters or less, so they can't be entered in the password screen. B1TCHK!, the only one that can, is not accepted as a valid password.

Unused Text

I'm a placeholder!

Located at 4D5955 in the US version of the game, before the first line of the game script. The line also exists, untranslated, in the non-English script text found in European versions of the game.

Level Select

Enter the password H3L!X3!. You'll return to the main menu. Begin a new game and all levels will be available from the start. Press L or R to change the chapter.
