If the cheat code text is taken letter by letter (B A C A D A C A R A B U R U B U R U D A), it appears to form a sentence in Japanese, "馬鹿だからブルブルだ" (baka da kara buruburu da), which roughly translates to "I'm an idiot so I'm trembling [in fear]."[1]

The pseudo-3D letters when entering a high score can be changed by holding  START  and using the d-pad. Left and Right will rotate characters, while Down and Up will zoom in and out.
