The WiiWare chick chick BOOM was a fair overhaul from its 2007 Flash microsite origins, gaining updated visuals and slightly tweaked gameplay mechanics.

Unused Graphics

Present in /layouts/ingame_menus.arc.LZ/timg/ are earlier versions of the lightning bolt, max upgrade bomb, plant, UFO, and weight attacks. Of note is the color differences between the max upgrade bomb and default plant which are red and white in gameplay.

Debug Materials

Inside of /cfg/app.cfg are a large sum of debugging options with comments for what the majority of them do. It's currently unknown if any of these debugging options still function in the game.
