The game was effectively finished and was ready to ship, even receiving previews on gaming magazines at the time, but it was unexpectedly cancelled. While interest in the California Raisins brand had waned at the time, the actual reason for the cancellation was [[ScrewedByTheNetwork due to scuffles between branches of Capcom]] -- the game was privately commissioned by Capcom USA for a small team in America as part of an attempt to become more independent from Capcom Japan, but once the project was emblazoned on the front page of ''Magazine/GamePlayersMagazine #19'', the Japanese branch learned of the game's existence and cancelled it on sight, refusing to publish any project that wasn't developed in Japan (fortunately, the developers were still paid and maintained their careers). A prototype cartridge was discovered in late 2002, and its ROM is now freely available for download to be played on NES emulators.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AntropomorphicFood: Plenty of it. The protagonists are humanised raisins, some enemies are grapes with faces, and Maize Maze features a boss which is corn with a face.
* BubblyClouds: The final level is Sky High Records which features solid clouds the Raisin walks on.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: Power-ups that turn the Raisin invincible are plentiful, though they last too short to be useful.
* TemporaryPlatform: Maize Maze features stone platforms which drop into the water very quickly after standing on them.
* AWinnerIsYou: The ending is very mediocre, all you get is a picture of the Raisins and the words "CONGRATURAISINS", as well as some credits.
