What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
The pupils are completely missing from Sparx's eyes during the credits of the game, which I guess is a metaphor for how bad this game is.
This has been tested on latest master, all the way to 4.0.2, with the same issue occurring on all versions.

Reach the credits of the game

This is the same issue as #9474 - the game configures the alpha stage to use dest = prev, but prev is never initialized. This results in unpredictable behavior on hardware (generally using values from whatever was last drawn, in this case the bushes in the background, object 111 in that fifolog). Looking at a longplay the eyes seem to flicker on console, too. There is occasional buggy behavior with the hardware fifoplayer, but most of the time doesn't behave the same as the longplay and various speedruns I found: see https://youtu.be/5-F83yU52rg
There is no easy way of fixing this in the hardware renders, unfortunately. It may be possible to fix with the software renderer.
