[edit] Story
The goal is to free several fairies from the bubbles in which the rotting crone has trapped them. The player can eliminate enemies by throwing a star-like weapon and travel rapidly from place to place by means of the falcon (replaced by a particularly-powerful trampoline in the Spectrum version). However, sometimes the journeys must be carefully planned out, since the falcon can transport the player on one-way trips, and if all fairies have not been freed from the previous area, it will be impossible to win. The player has a limited amount of time to finish.
[edit] Censorship
It has been long rumored that Sega of America pulled the Sega Genesis version off the market and forced the nude fairies to be given clothing to cover up their breasts. Certain advertisements for the game often mentioned that the game had been "banned". However, programmer Kevin Seghetti stated that the changes on the Genesis version were done voluntarily. [1]
