Development Texts

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: If anyone can find a way to access these in-game, that'd probably be a good thing.

Level Select

Text for a slightly typographically-challenged level select begins at DE472. It's unclear whether these menus can be accessed.

The text at F9F2C seems to suggest a debug display mode, showing a variety of behind the scenes info such as character coordinates.
