Address	Function	Details	Default value
`0x03D313` `-` `0x03D315` (USA), `0x03D310` `-` `0x03D312` (JPN)	Mega Buster palette		`0F2C11`
`0x03D45F` (USA), `0x03D45C` (JPN)	Projectile type of buster shot		`00`
`0x03D495` (USA), `0x03D492` (JPN)	X-Velocity of buster shot (fraction)		`00`
`0x03D4A7` (USA), `0x03D4A4` (JPN)	X-Velocity of buster shot (integer)	Shots that are too fast will not be able to properly register hits at all, so avoid going beyond around `0B`.	`04`
`0x03D4B9` (USA), `0x03D4B6` (JPN)	Y-Velocity of buster shot (fraction)		`00`

`0x03DA83` (USA), `0x03DA80` (JPN)	Maximum number of buster shots on-screen	Values `00`, `01`, and `10` and beyond are all invalid, while `02` is actually 1, so `04` would actually mean 3 shots on-screen. What this literally is is how far into the object handling chart in memory ($0420 - $043F) the projectile generation loop is going. Weapons are normally stored in $0422 - $0429, so with a maximum of 3 bullets on screen, the loop checks $0424, $0423, and $0422. Increasing this past 0F enters the enemy handling range ($0430~$043F).	`04`

`0x03DD61`	Charge time between first and second level		`7D`
`0x03DD67`	Charge time between first and third level	If this value is lower than the value above, then that value is overwritten and it jumps straight to the third charge level.	`BB`
`0x03DE46` `-` `0x03DE48`	Sound effect for Atomic Heat charge per level		`35`, `36`, `37`
`0x03DE49` `-` `0x03DE50`	First and third color of Atomic Heat per level, including non-charging		`0F15`, `3115`, `352C`, `3030`
`0x03DE55` `-` `0x03DE57`	Amount of energy that Atomic Heat uses per shot per level		`01`, `06`, `0A`
