Puzznic is a block-switching puzzle game with a seedy past.
Stage Select
- Press and hold the Service Credit button as soon as you power the board on.
- When the "SERVICE SW ERROR" screen appears, immediately release the Service Credit button (you have five seconds to release it, or this won't work).
- Now press Start (x3), the Service Credit button once, and Start again.
You can now select any of the 36 levels to start playing from by using P1 Up/Down/Left/Right. After choosing, press P1 Button 1 and you'll be able to choose the sublevel (1-4) as well with P1 Left/Right. After that, press P1 Button 1 to start the game.
You also now have infinite time and infinite retries, but not infinite bombs for whatever reason. Press P1 Start to instantly finish the current level and move on to the next one, or P2 Start to go back to the level select.
Hidden Credits
A set of credits can be found in the main CPU starting at 0x00040. The full names of each staff member can be determined through their credits on previous and future Taito titles:

This is all followed by the string, "PAZZNIC CD60".
Regional Differences
Several things are present in the Japanese and US(!) versions that were removed in the World localization.
Splash Screen
There is a strategically-covered woman in the attract mode sequence...
...if you look at the graphic in a layer viewer, though, she's actually wearing a bikini. This image was the original model for "Tina", as can be seen on the game's Japanese flyer.
Levels
The levels have female names and the goal is to uncover pictures of naked girls. This aspect was removed in the World version, leaving only the core gameplay.
