Oddities

To do: Compare the versions present in the ROM and versions edited to play at the correct tempo.

The game's soundtrack consists of two songs: "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis & the News and "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry, both of which were used in the movie.

Gavan Anderson, who arranged the songs for the game, had no control over the tempo, and whoever programmed the songs into the game set them to 300 BPM, making them nigh-unrecognizable.
