Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research
  • Contains "Thriller" instead of "Another Part of Me" on Stage 3.
  • Different last boss.
  • Music uses different drum samples and is arranged slightly different in comparison to the final.
  • Stage select is activated by default.
  • There is no "PAUSE" text when pausing the game.
  • There are no demos after the title screen. The game will go into the main menu instead.
  • Uses the ROM header from Kujaku Ou 2 (Mystic Defender).
