But the art- kinda looks like it was drawn with 4:3 in mind. There's a lot of little parts of this game that seem inconsistent- might be a lot of factors (hey its unlicensed), but might be notable if they didn't remember to draw all the game's art for the right resolution.

Would someone who can read Japanese provide a quick translation?

Hello! If possible, if you can read Japanese and would be willing to provide a little assistance... could someone translate the names of the levels from the manual? I had to machine-translate it and I'm super sure I'm way off :x Thank you so much if you're able to provide any input/translation help!! :) CartridgeCulture (talk) 04:22, 26 October 2021 (EDT)
