* PortingDisaster: The UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis version of the first game. game suffered from such a TroubledProduction that it's a surprise that it was made at all. The lead developer turned out to be a ConMan who scammed Sega Midwest out of a large sum of money that would have been invested in the port before disappearing, and an amateur programmer had to handle most of the work in a short amount of time. The result? Broken controls and physics, mediocre graphics and sounds, most of the soundtrack being cut (made even worse with a few of the music tracks left being played on the wrong stages), and a generic AWinnerIsYou ending instead of the character-specific ones from the original arcade version.
