  FE           ? 
  FE         The PPU mask value is set to the value of this address (it's always $1E during gameplay but takes on different values in screen changes of the title screen). Could have had a purpose in some stage of development to hide sprites, since it is used by the item menu and pause routine as well as the screen-transition routine (they call a routine that takes the value and AND's it with $FE, which does nothing today, but could have been set to something else back then).

FE          The PPU mask value is set to the value of this address (it's always $1E during gameplay but takes on different values in screen changes of the title screen). Could have had a purpose in some stage of development to hide sprites, since it is used by the item menu and pause routine as well as the screen-transition routine (they call a routine that takes the value and AND's it with $FE, which does nothing today, but could have been set to something else back then).
