B version of either country.

Korea has all secrets enabled by default without fiddling with dip switches, though.

I have the Korean version and there's so many secrets enabled that it's honestly hard to pick what characters and options you want to use within the time limit. Literally there's so much to that game that it's almost frustrating!

Check the secrets ST, there's a link to sheep's site which elaborates on the differences.

I have the Korean version too. The only complaint I have is that extends work like in Garegga, ie. not dropped by enemies like in the JPN version. Is there a way to change this? The manual doesn't mention it...

This sounds like it may be an important difference, as dropped extends decrease rank significantly.

Drop extend? Not drop extend? Bomb exploit? I don't get it? I take it drop extend is when the enemy drops a 1up but randomly or for a certain reason?


Trying really hard to get into Batrider. Seriously complicated and hard.


I don't know how anyone can consistantly get the medals, either bullets are in the way or falling at the same speed or two are falling at the same speed either side of the screen. You can get one, miss the other then the combo resets.

Are there any superplays on the net?

I remember playing Batrider in MAME on my Windows portable computer several months ago and I thought it ruled. It had great gameplay, awesome music, and best of all a sky-high difficulty where the enemies fire lots of bullets at you. Also, is there a European or USA version of Batrider released in limited distribution?
