==Release history==
Little can be said about the development of this "obscure" game in the Mario series. All that is known is that it was developed by Nintendo in partnership with Konami (who made the machines) and was released sometime in the year 1991. Each machine cost around 320,000 yen. She was also involved in developing the company Toshiba, which manufactured the monitors.
Due to the fact it was released only in Japan and more than 20 years, today the few still active gaming machines have become a rarity.
