Notes

[1] Withdrawn from sale across all formats shortly after release due to Nintendo's threat of legal action over similarities to their NES game, SUPER MARIO BROTHERS, which they alleged breached copyright. Consequently, the original release is one of the rarest commercial Amiga games.

[2] Box cover design of the international version by Camel Advertising, Sheffield, United Kingdom.

[3] Even if the game was only sold for a very short time, apparently two versions of it existed.

Conversion Notes

Based on 1987 Time Warp/Rainbow Arts C64/128 release. N.B. The Spectrum release was reviewed, but never released because of the game's withdrawal from sale.
