i love how this screams "god please we don't want to make this game hideous but marketing told us to because only americans are going to buy this mushroom shaped shitbox"
That's amazing Cosmic Carnage had a similar mode I believe, although that just changes the title and characters back to their Japanese designs
They really put their whole ass into this game in every way except figuring out how to make a fully texture mapped 3D mech game playable on the 32X.
Yeah, though it needs to be a JP console. Hold down A+B+C+START when Sega logo appears and keep it held down until title screen appears. It'll be unlocked in the Options menu. …it has been making the rounds because I linked this video in the SGDK server, isn't it?

This might’ve been the original intent then probably changed to what you see since if was made for a western audience in mind. Cosmic Carnage as someone mentioned originally had anime characters in the Japanese version changed to aliens and robots in NA version.
The first HG101 Podcast episode I was on was about this game. Somehow they haven't fired me yet.
Oh yeah, I some how had the code for this as a teen in the 90s when Anime stuff was super hard to come by and it made Metal Head a game I remember fare more fondly than it deserves.
