It does not correspond to any valid part of the Choice control's binary layout, so any other value will produce unintended results. The parameter is believed to have been a misunderstanding made by the original reverse engineer, in that all Choice controls come at the end of a dialogue line, and therefore end with <code>0x0000</code>, a "null character" which tells the game that the string has ended.

The value of <code>cancel_index</code> is the choice that is selected when the player presses the B button. It refers to the <code>choice_labels</code> as a zero-indexed list, i.e. the first label is 0, second is 1, third is 2, and fourth is 3. From a game design standpoint, this should usually refer to the last choice. | The value of <code>cancel_index</code> is the choice that is selected when the player presses the B button.
