Service menu available on KPE's Gokuraku Parodius pachislo?

[Parotaku]

Hello everybody,
I'm new to this forum.

I'm a Parodius collector from France and last month I finally received my long time awaited Gokuraku Parodius pachislo.

This is my first imported pachislo/pachinko machine and I hope not the last one (still looking for the CR Gokujyo Parodius pachinko some of you lucky people managed to get)...

Anyway, I'm not a complete noob on the subject so I used guides on the net to understand how to change odds (I set it to 6, more fun when friends want to try it) and somehow managed to understand how the drop switches worked...

The only part where I'm stuck is how to access the service menu, as I haven't found anything on the net.
I know this machine is supposed to have 'guest animations' from the 'Magical Halloween' pachislo machines serie by KPE, and I suppose these only happen on Halloween... except I don't know how to access & change the date/time...
I guess the arrows buttons on the front door of the machine are used for selections, except I don't see any menu on the screen when on reset mode with the key (only the usual 1-6 selection on credit display).

If anyone with this machine or another one by KPE (Gradius, Castlevania, Magical Halloween...) knows how to activate it, I'd be glad to know it... Thanks!

Well I have Magical Halloween 2, but haven't looked in to the service menu, or at least haven't found anything like what you mean. Just game play, past winnings, and change charactor between Rose and Alice. This changes the animation and screen graphics as well as the reach videos. Its accessed during normal play mode (without credits) by by pressing the centre button of the pad if I remember rightly.

I guess what you mean is what you can see in the PV near the end, where it shows Pumkins and Alice. This might be a feature that pops up during bonuses. Some machines after 5 big bonuses in a row change the music and graphics during the bonus.

@Drunkenclam
Yes, I was talking about this sequence with Pumkins replacing Moai heads...
Hmmm... no service menu that you know of... so that may be totally random during bonus mode and not time related...? Somehow I'm not completely surprised but a bit sad pachislo owners can't access 'special' features like dip-switch modes on arcade boards...

@luckydog
Ah ah, yes... Got the 3 Parodius arcade games too, but on real PCBs... ^^
