Notes:

↑
This is a truncated piece of the fourth Cukeman dialogue from the French version. The full text should read:
```
Gros bisous
de Kyoto!
       VERO 
```
This translates to "Big kissess from Kyoto, VERO ". "VERO" refers to Véronique Chantel, the French translator for the game. This is also the only unused foreign dialogue which is also present in its respective original Game Boy version, at address 0x27EBE.
↑ This has no foreign equivalent, as all the Cukeman dialogue is unique between each version.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 ^3.2 ^3.3 ^3.4 The five number signs "#####" is a macro which is replaced with the player's name in-game.
↑
Another truncated dialogue. The full text should read:
```
7 photos à
prendre! Quel
type de photo
t'intéresse?
```
↑ This US DX dialogue seems incorrectly formatted.
↑ This German DX dialogue lacks a separator byte, which causes the two consecutive pieces of dialogue to merge together somewhat awkwardly.

Another truncated dialogue. The full text should read:
```
Es-tu sûr?
    OUI  NON
```
