A game mode for replacing all players with girls is advertised on the box art and magazine advertisements. The instruction manual includes the steps required to activate this mode:
* Hold Down+Left on the Player 1 controller
* Hold Up on the Player 2 controller
* Keeping the buttons held on both controllers, press the NES Reset button
This updates all rosters for the game's twelve teams with new names and players and changes the character art. The cursor on the main menu becomes a heart icon.
