(This is a little run-on sentence-y but I tried to clarify something Sazpaimon told me; it's not actually an encoding set, its the CHARACTER SET which the encoding standards used as the basis.) |

Very atypically, instead of using Shift JIS for the header's title as most Mega Drive games do, Magical Hat uses raw JIS X 0208 data instead. This was originally thought to be gibberish, as no modern program can actually decode data written in the original JIS X 0208 standard. This is thanks to how it's actually the original character set that formed the basis for the Shift JIS standard, and not an actual encoding per se. The data when manually decoded reads "まじかるハットのぶっとびターボ!大冒険 " with five double-byte spaces appended at the end.
Sega's documents elaborate that you can use ASCII or Shift JIS, but doesn't explicitly mandate that you do[1]. This seems to be the known sole example of deviation, as VIC Tokai's other games use ASCII headers before and after Magical Hat.
