Unused Text
There is a lot of garbage data, which is random data from the memory of the PC where the game is compiled. Different versions of the same game may have different data. This is a very common thing for at least Bit Managers' development tools. Sometimes, inside the garbage you may find development-related text or something more interesting.
In the Japanese version, the first chunk of garbage starts at 0x33E0, but has text sitting at 0x3889. This is portions of the OBJ data files for compilator or debugger with lists of labels. The same area of the US version contains some early version of the level data block from BANK1 of its ROM. Level data is the same, but offsets to chunks are shifted, so it just was placed in a different location previously. The following is a clean list of the labels, extracted from the data structures in this garbage data.

The second garbage chunk in the Japanese version is at 0x7B42.

Data between 0xADE8 and 0xC000 in the Japanese version is a partial binary bank of the very early version of BANK1 for the other Bit Managers' game Otto's Ottifanten: Baby Bruno's Nightmare. It contains the early version of the "Dedication" cheat, which is only present in the early proto, but all menus are the same as in the final game, except there are no strings for other languages, scenario texts and other evidences of the game name itself. However, text and code for the Language selection menu is present in this data chunk. Offsets in this code matches the actual data offsets in BANK1, but shifted to 0x2000 higher.
The same area of the US version filled mostly with a copy of the BANK3 data and code with just a few additional garbage leftovers.

And finally, the Japanese version has a lot of binary data with sources, it seems the internal structures of the compilator as well.
