This game has unused areas.
This game has unused text.Unused Levels
The game has only 10 playable levels. But, there is the game data for two more levels. Both aren't accessible normally during the game. They are not even included in the levels data indexes list at 0x2182 which is consists only of 10 entries with the ending code $FF at the end. So you couldn't just hack the Stage number variable $C6A9 in RAM to access them properly.
Both levels has a corresponding strings for level number text:
STATION 11
STATION 12
Also there are two level name strings:
ADVANCED CANNON
PULVERIZERS
However, you still can play any of them by using the Game Genie codes 0A1-82D-F72 or 0B1-82D-F72 to replace the first level data with either 11th or 12th levels data accordingly. Still you couldn't see the actual level names with this method. It needs little bit more hacking to the ROM to be accessible properly. Most important, even if both levels are plays well, they aren't beatable. Looks like they are either unfinished or just a test levels for developing purposes.
Level 11 upper levels aren't accessible at all. Note, that it also have an item unused in any other levels: "TNT".
Level 12 can be accessed up to the upper level, but the middle floors are out of access range too.
Unused Text
There is a small additional library which used by the game to display strings "PLAYER ONE/PLAYER TWO". It also contains two more strings:
GAME OVER PLAYER ONE
GAME OVER PLAYER TWO
The Game Over screen uses it's own standalone "GAME OVER" string to draw, so both strings above are unused.
Also there is one more string not included in this library but sitting just right after the other strings data for it:
END OF GAME
After beating Level 10, all you get is "CONGRATULATIONS"... So they probably planned some other ending screen but never get it finished.
