- This game received an official re-release with permission of the current rights holder of the game title, at the time of re-release, in limited quantities on either a refurbished licensed cartridge or an unlicensed reproduction cartridge long after the Nintendo Entertainment System's lifespan. Usually this is done as the result of a promotional stunt or to capitalize on the retro game collecting market.
- This game was released on both licensed and unlicensed cartridge. This was a result of the Publisher initially using licensed cartridges at the game's release, but then moving the game's production to unlicensed cartridges to avoid paying Nintendo's license fees after discovering a means to bypass Nintendo's lockout chip.
- The 72-pin NES cartridge version of this game was only available in Hong Kong. The NES was officially released in Hong Kong around 1987, and it is fairly rare. This game is the rarest licensed and commercially available NES game produced with fewer than 10 copies known.
