What it depicts
A paper-like recreation of the arcade screen for the "100m" stage: a tall structure of red girders connected by ladders, climbing upward against a black background. The flat, blocky retro graphics deliberately echo a vintage arcade screenshot, complete with its stacked platforms reaching toward the top.
