In addition to generic NAMCO copyrights, RESET routine in this game uses string
MR TAKASI FUKAWAto check if game was soft or hard reset.
(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GENYEIEI | - | There is a series of the Namco games, made by the same programmers Haruhisa Udagawa and Kumi Hanaoka, that contains the same self-test for the data integrity. To enable any of these tests you need a special device that should be plugged into the expansion port. The operation of that device is very simple. It should accept the data bit from the data input port and return it back inverted to the output data port. The device consists of 4-bit shift register, working as some sort of the FIFO buffer. The input bits are goes to the input and then shifted to te output after a 4 cycles. At the game's boot, it tries to send some special data to the device. If the data output doesn't match the data input inverted, then the game continues the normal operation. But if all data (usually 32, rarely 64 bytes) is matches, self-tests will be performed. The program calculates 24-bit partial checksums for the PRG (excluding the last 8K) and the CHR data, summing only every 15th byte, and comparing it against the etalon. Before testing of the PRG data, the background color turns red, before testing of the CHR data, it turns green. If any of these tests are failed, the program will jump directly to the reset routine. It means, one of these tests will be performed infinitely, but until the special device is plugged in, or until the test are passed. Normally, you'll see the red to green flash just before the game's boot. Or the static red screen if the PRG data is bad, or the flashing from red to green screen if CHR data isn't good. Using this Game Genie code you can skip tests for the special device presence and jump straight to the integrity tests. |

2. The "Damage taken" counter is what you've got every time you get a hit from enemy or die. Regular hits add 8 times of the hit power value to this counter, the game over add 1024 instantly. The amount of continues you may use is unlimited, but the more you die or get hits, the bigger the damage counter. There are two main effects depends on it:
a) the amount of HP you got refilled after continue; calculated as 0x28+(damage/128), but not much than your current HP capacity
b) the different endings; less damage counter, more detailed the ending
There are total 4 ending variants. Two are the good ones, two are the bad.
1. The damage counter above 14848: only the staff roll with the stage 1-2 boss easter and the final message "YOU TOOK TOO MUCH TIME TO GET HERE. TRY GETTING HERE SOONER."
2. The damage counter between 14848 and 9984: additional bat signal screen before the staff, the same stage 1-2 easter and the message "YOUR SKILL HAS IMPROVED, BUT YOU'RE NOT A REAL HERO YET."
3. The damage counter between 9984 and 5376: the full demo sequence with the scene of the Penguin death, following the bat signal and staff roll with stage 2-3 boss Catwoman easter instead, and the message is "CONGRATULATIONS! BATMAN,YOU'VE SAVED GOTHAM CITY."
4. The damage counter less than 5376: additionally a Catwoman picture appears on the bat signal screen, and the final message is "AWESOME! YOU ARE THE HERO OF ALL HEROES."
3. The "Game start" flag is used to determine if you access the password menu after the game over screen or you just powered up the console. Depends on it will or not clear some game variables. This prevents the game parameters and flags from erasing between game plays, and even if you choose "END" at the game overs screen, you can always go to the password menu and enter the default generated passwords (which is the same as on the game over screen) and continue the game. However, this flag is set to 1 ALWAYS when you start a new game or continue one way or another, it's is only has value 0 before the first game play after the reset. So technically, every password generated by the game after the game is started has this flag set, and only 4 random default passwords generated after the game reset, has this flag clear. When you generate any valid password, doesn't matter if you set this bit or not.
4. The "Test tube" flag is a special item, not displayed on HUD, but you can obtain it on stage 2-2 inside the cat's eye on the background after beating two trident armed enemies. Used automatically on the stage 2-3 boss Catwoman, cuts its HP by half.
5. The "Conversation" flag is set when you record the Penguins conversation in one of the rooms of the stage 3-1. This will change the level layout and allows you to complete it. You can't avoid setting this flag during the normal game, generated passwords with this flag set lead to the second part of the stage.
6. Also there is a special anti-pirate flag, if set, it makes any valid passwords not working. Here this flag is forced to be disabled for obvious reason.
7. There are two special debug flags, that can't be set during the game, and may be only generated. The invulnerability flag disables the HP decreasing. The Level Select flag is another debug leftover, allows you any time during the game, except the cutscenes, change current stage up to stage 4-2 instantly by pressing Left or Right on controller 2. The stages above 4-2 can't be accessed with this cheat.
8. "Box in hand" and "Box filled" are represents the special HP storage item. First is for amount of this items in your posession (given to you instantly after the stage 1-2 boss, the rest are hidden at some places). The second is amount of filled ones with HP. Actual HP counter in this game is 8-bit in size, so can contain as much as 255 HP. Only 64 HP is displayed in the HP bar on HUD, this takes only 6 lower bits of the number. When calculating your HP, the game will check for amount of boxes in posession and fills the higher two bits of the HP depending on it. So normally during the game you can't get the HP counter more than 64+(box*64) value. However, game doesn't check this when you lose your HP and decreasing it as if it full 8-bit value, so with this password generator, you can set "Hitpoints" + "Box filled" vealues to maximum to get 255 HP ingame without posessing the boxes at all. Unfortunately, the HP will be dropped back to 64 after the first continue.
9. And finally, there are two unused bits in passwords, that can be used for unique passwords generation, but doesn't appears to have any effects during the game.

(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GEXVLAEI | - | Some of the Namco games, which uses the 19 mapper PCB, contains also the specific self-test routine. It can test and initialize the internal RAM buffers. Similar to the other Namco games series, in order to run these tests, you must plug in a special device to the famicom expansion port. This device is much simpler than mentioned another device. It just takes one bit of data and immediately returns it inverted to the data port, there is no FIFOs inside. When the program detects the device presence, it performs RAM test and initialization. If RAM is already tested/initialized, the screen will turn blue. If RAM isn't initialized, but after init and test all is fine, then screen will turn yellow or pink. If, even after the reinitialization, RAM test fails, then screen will turn red. After the tests, program goes to the infinite loop, so yo must unplug special device to boot into the game. Using this Game Genie code you can skip the special device check and just directly to the RAM initialization routine. This game tests it's IRAM buffer, used for the expansion sound. |

The third reuirement is the power meter and the energy tanks should be full.
