Debug Menu

Press Select on the title screen to access a debug mode, which contains a level select, a sound test, and an option for invincibility. Interestingly, some entries in the sound test are blank.

Unused Music

Tracks 4 and 14 on the NSF are short unused jingles, though they can still be heard in the sound test. Track 4 sounds like it may have been intended for when the player dies, and track 14 sounds like it was intended as a Game Over theme.
