Episode Selector

The debug episode selector.
The symbol 章 in the Japanese version means "Chapter".

US Version	Japanese Version

The debug episode selector is used for the Surgery selection and ADV selection menu options. Selecting an episode that doesn't have a surgery for surgery selection or an episode that doesn't have a cutscene for ADV selection takes you back to the main menu.

X Operation Cutscenes

If an X Operation (Chapter 8) episode is selected for "ADV before" a cutscene with the same text as the surgery briefing takes place in an office in the "Suburbs" map. X Operation episodes normally skip straight to the surgery briefing when selected from the normal episode selection menu.

Test Operation

In the Japanese version, selecting "手術　石井さん用　(Surgery For Ishii-san's Use)" starts a test operation. The US version of the game normally prevents the test operation from being played. Because of this, the equivalent option in the US version "ope direct" defaults to Chapter 1 Episode 3's operation, but the test operation can still be accessible with a cheat.

The operation consists of two tumor removal operations in a row with a constantly shaking screen. Failing the operation in the US version shows some corrupted untranslated text, though this is not the case for the Japanese version.

Translation: Tsukimori (Dr. Stiles), you're going too slow! I'll handle the rest!
