Unfinished bios
An unfinished bio for Smoke exists in the game. No text was written for the character, however, with Kano's appearing instead. The string - MOTARO - also exists within the ROM.
Smoke's bio can be seen in the demo sequence by using the Action Replay code FF0217:0E. Attempting to load Motaro's bio causes the game to crash as there is no versus image.
