 | | The game was produced by Gunpei Yokoi, one of Nintendo's most famous game and hardware designers, and directed by Yoshio Sakamoto. |
 | | In addition, it has been noted as one of the first games to use a password system - the original game, released for Famicom/Famicom Disk System, allowed saving state on disk, but the American release was in NES cartridge form, and didn't implement battery backed memory. |
 | | The decision to use a password system was not made because the then current NES games were incapable of battery backed memory, The Legend of Zelda, released several months earlier in Japan, featured battery backed memory. |
