Background Art

The user interface is hidden while Select is pressed so that the art on the bottom screen can be admired in full.

Background Music

This menu plays the track known as "Top Menu" in the soundtrack. It was originally composed by Koichi Sugiyama, and arranged in this version by Hayato Matsuo. The music uses the leitmotiv from another music heard in the game, "Mountaintop Town".
