Game Quirks and Bugs
- On the game's start menu, split-screen and link-cable versus modes can be toggled by holding L1+R1 before entering versus mode. This is useful with some emulators that mistakenly detect a link-cable connection.
- Radar for the first player in versus mode is non-functional in the North American release. This bug did not exist in the Japanese version.
