Revisional Differences
The song "Thriller" was removed from later copies of the game, most likely due to copyright issues, as Michael Jackson wasn't the songwriter for "Thriller".
Stages 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 and 5-3 played a part of "Thriller" when the special attack was used. Later copies use "Another Part of Me" instead on all levels, except for 3-3, which uses "Billie Jean".
"Thriller" was fittingly used as the song of Round 3 in a prototype of the game, but was completely removed from the final release. These special attack versions were probably left in the final game as an oversight.
- In revision 1, a bug allows you to fall through multiple platforms without stopping if you attack mid-fall. This saves time on Caves 4-2 if used. This was fixed in later revisions.
- In revision 1, Stage 6 Michael's Battle Plane is much harder than later versions.
