Unused Graphics

Enemies

Others

Alternate	Used

An alternate version of the old Konami logo, with no tail on the K, is present in the BG tiles ROM. This alternate logo was never used in any Konami game, and a new logo was designed in 1986.

A 1984 copyright graphic. This game might have been delayed to 1985 while Konami was busy developing their ill-fated Bubble System hardware. Which explains the "XMAS" initials in the high score list.

An actual bee! This is used in the NES port as a punishment for shooting bonus bells too much, but not here.
