Trivia

 * Unlike other third-party games and just like Gaming Game's other games (except for Stickventures and the GG Flashback games), They used the black box design from NES launch titles (including Super Mario Bros.), This doesn't apply to the cartridge
 * A demo of the SNES version was available on the Satellaview in 1995 and was broadcasted until 1996
 * Speeding up the Main Theme of the NES Version reveals that it is actually a Slow version of Open Waters of Kirby's Adventure (though it came out after Fishing Simulator), Which led to Gaming Game suing HAL Laboratory and Nintendo.
