You've won the game!

When starting the first level of the game, hold Up-left. As soon as the chocolate bar completely overlaps Zool's eye, quickly press Up-right to change direction. Three frames after Zool faces right, let go of Right while still holding Up. This will result in a crash, followed by the game jumping to the ending credits. This happens because Up usually cancels Zool's animation, and resetting the animation at that specific spot breaks the game.

Alternatively, a second Control Pad can be used to trigger this bug by holding Up while the first Control Pad is used for the Left and Right inputs.

Not fixed in any version.
