I'll be honest, that doesnt look like a bug, but instead like some data degredation/error while dumping. In the screens with the head and the scrolling background there is clearly some corruption on some tiles and random stray pixels. So some bits seem flipped.

The bad game reached mass distribution, the good GBA one didn't find a distributor ... a classic. Prograph Reasearch (an italian developer) produced a great GBA F1 3D game called GP-Advance, but they didn't find a distributor. They also developed a "banal" 2D game (street jam basketball) and that have finded a distributor ... Oh well.

@magnatcleo2043 5 месяцев назад

To answer about the barrel rolling level, there are ones like that in the console version. However, they are a bit more challenging since the barrel is full of gunpowder and you have to navigate it through a stage to blow something up, without prematurely setting it off of course. As for the last stage that broke, It would have been, assuming it was to be as accurate of a recreation as the giant robot fight, a shmup that was vaguely like the original Starfox games.

Thank you! I'm a huge I-Ninja fan, some levels I could even complete blindfolded. And since I found out about the GBA port, I wondered for 16-17 years why was it cancelled. We had screens and I wished I could play it. And finally after all this time, 17 years I found out it's actually real and played it. I still don't know why it was cancelled. I was able to complete even the level that was broken for you - Ventis boss fight. It's been a long time since some game gave me this much fun 🙇‍♂

@novelezra 5 месяцев назад

I'm just gonna say it... If Nintendo hadn't done what they had a habit of doing in the 90s (getting scared of third party developers who they got to close to) then maybe Argonaut could have become one of the big developers on the N64. They were clearly a very talented studio but it's also clear that after Nintendo ripped the rug from them after Starfox that they never really recovered (not for a lack of trying). Nintendo acted like such bad boyfriends back then. "Oooh, we should celebrate our 1 year anniversary!" "THIS RELATIONSHIP IS MOVING WAY TOO FAST AND IM SCARED! YOU ARE DUMPED!" **Sony peeks around the corner** "so you single now or what?"
