Puzzle Bobble 2X (Arcade) - Character Select Trick

Описание: Here is something that puts to shame the Character Select of the Playstation PB2.

In the Taito F3/Saturn version of Puzzle Bubble 2X/2, you can press different button combinations at the World Select screen (and in 2X/Saturn between rounds too) to select a different character. The button combinations are different between 2, 2X and the Saturn version -- Puzzle Bobble 2 contains the least amount selectable characters, while in 2X the list is more complete, and the Saturn version allows you to select all of them, including the unused Rabbit character. This also won't work at all in the Neo-Geo version, where they hardcoded the player character to be always Bub. Thanks, Taito!

CODES (2X):

1P Start + A + Down Gaago (VS CPU Practice 1)
1P Start + A + Left + Down Kajaku (VS CPU Practice 2)

1P Start + Up Monsta (VS CPU 1)
1P Start + Up + Right Packy (VS CPU 2)
1P Start + Right Woolen (VS CPU 3)
1P Start + Right + Down Picard (VS CPU 4)
1P Start + Down Garaniyo (VS CPU 5)

1P Start + A + Left Hands (Bust a Move Again)*
1P Start + A + Up + Left Computer (Bust a Move Again)*

Characters use the cannon instead of the pointer (and that's bad)

One last thing: Why is this even here? How did it get all the way to the Saturn version? Is it a debug leftover turned into a hidden feature? We'll never know I guess.
