Visual debug mode

Enter your name as FOMA, then start Operation BHA. Instead of starting the game, you will be taken to a "visual debug mode" (ビジュデアルデバッグモード) menu allowing you to watch all the movies.

The menu is in Japanese in both the NTSC-U and NTSC-J versions of the game. "Foma" is credited as one of the game's programmers.

Black Ball Assault

Enter your name as AZY, then start Operation BHA. You will be taken to a new title screen, which, if you press  START  will lead to a two-player Pong-like game.

In this mode, Up and Down moves the "paddle", while B fires a projectile which can affect the ball's movement (as can a moving, spinning object in the centre of the screen). After a player misses ten times, the game resets back to the Black Ball Assault title screen; the only way to return to normal play is to perform a software reset (A+B+C+ START ).

As with the above, "Azy" is credited in the game with programming.
