Hold down either p1 or p2 start (or both) as you activate breakout from the
menu. The bricks will have a pattern, and the ball will be different.

I recall this was found posted early, and there is supposed tobe more,but I
haven't found that, and suck mightily at the game.

Color X-Y Dispplay - Service Manual Complete with Schematics and
