How about: check graphics after coin-up and select race?

True... now the moving screen after selecting the difficulty seems wrong. That's a regression. We'll wait for official mame 0.227 to report this.
The rest of the game's graphics seems right now.

I made a fix for it but it required changing the priority order, more info regarding this has been posted here:
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/7460

in video/undrfire.cpp line 537, the fix is:
-const u16 priority = m_tc0480scp->get_bg_priority();
+u16 priority = m_tc0480scp->get_bg_priority();
+if (priority == 0x3210) priority = 0x2310;

note: in the tc0480scp's bg priority table(video/tc0480scp.cpp line 873 - tc0480scp_bg_pri_lookup), entry for 0x3210 doesn't seem logically correct. If this is changed to 0x2310, it will also fix the problem without the need for the above change to video/undrfire.cpp. Though, before changing this, the games in mame055's source code that lists where that pri code is used will need to be tested first to see if it causes any priority problems.

mame055's tc0480scp lookup-table evidence: https://pastebin.com/PYVmjcmh
EDIT: changing 0x3210 -> 0x2310 in tc0480scp does indeed cause issue in Metal Black, so the priority order is probably just different for cbombers. (beginning of stage 1, the farmost buildings in the parallax background disappear)
