Yeah, it sounds like the kinda of tag line you'd put on a Barbie game. Probably because it is a Barbie game.

I'm not sure how that's funny.

The NES was distributed by Mattel in some European countries.

Guess in which European countries Sega was more popular.

God damn. I love that box. I want to know why they even did that. What was the thought process? Plus, some of the music in that game ruled.

According to interviews the thought process was pretty much, "This is your basic space shooter, it looks like every other space shooter out there, we need to do something different to stand out." They did. It worked.

Banjo guy also looks like a fearsome bluegrass picker, which is shred music for hillbillies, so I always thought that was supposed to go along with "hyper-speed."

Phalanx's universe is a space western. The old banjo player is regaling you with tales of when he was a young space pilot. The main character of the game.
