Prototype Info

Graphic Viewer

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Less hacky way of accessing this, if possible.

Use the Pro Action Replay codes 00AD9F4C + 00ADA02D + 00ADA1F8 (US version) and then press Start during gameplay to activate a simple graphic viewer.

Controls:

• Up/Down: scroll through the currently available graphics (hold Y to scroll by half a page or B for a full page).
• Left/Right: select a palette.
• X: cycle between background layer 1/2/3 and sprite graphics.
• A: enable/disable horizontal and/or vertical mirroring.
• L/R: return to game (the background layers won't be restored correctly, so the backgrounds will appear corrupted until the round ends).

Filler Text

Large blocks of filler text comprised of the string Nin 417 appear in various places in the ROM. This may be a reference to Akira "Nin-Nin" Nishitani, one of the game's designers.

Other Differences

• The code that allows mirror matches differs between versions. In the Japanese version, the code is Down, R, Up, L, Y, B, X, A. In the international versions the code was shortened to Down, R, Up, L, Y, B.

• In Ken's stage, there is a man in a blue trenchcoat doing a hand gesture that could be misinterpreted as a masturbation gesture. This was changed in the international versions.
