• B to see the game's ending.

• Up or Down to change the starting level number.
• Start to enter the selected level.

CHR Test

At the stage select screen, select index 00, then press Start. At the CHR test screen, press:

• A or B to cycle through the CHR banks.
• Select to switch between 8x8 and 8x16 mode (for viewing sprites properly).
• Start to toggle the palette editor. A glitched cursor will appear to the left of the CHR data block.

In the palette editor, press:

• Up or Down to move the cursor up or down. Each of the four positions corresponds to one of the colors in the first background palette.
