Visuals: It depends on the game, but the logo is a crude drawing of what appears to be a oval with 2 antennas and a unidentifiable object above it. In the oval is the jumbled, crude font of "Spike", all in black with the "p" in red.

Technique: Depends on the variant, but usually none.

Audio: A different tune depending on the game with an announcer yelling out the name or silence or the intro of the game.

Availability: Seen on various games throughout its lifespan, including the original PSP version of Trigger Happy Havoc: Danganronpa, Fire Pro Wrestling, King of Coliseum, and various games in published in Japan.
