Just a single day after getting my own recently reissued version of Hudson’s long-coveted Shooting Watch — Japan’s digital ‘trainer’ meant to help strengthen your button-tapping muscles up to par with the hummingbird-fingered Takahashi Meijin — and wondering aloud what those two secret functions might be, 1up’s reliably niche Ray Barnholt comes through with an unofficial English language guide.

Obviously in need of some serious work, my own top score has never reached higher than my very first run of 8.2 button taps per second, half that needed to unlock what turns out to be… a random number generator. Well, that and the infinite respect of your peers/ability to explode watermelons at will, obviously.

If you’re feeling left out and strapped for cash, homebrew coder ‘retrohead’ has created a watermelon-enhanced version of the unit for the DS, or you can order your own at any number of online import houses.
