Notably, the game does not use the 4-score/satellite adapter despite displaying the 4 players logo commonly associated with this accessory. If the the adapter is plugged in, controllers 3 and 4 are ignored and players 1 and 3 must still take turns using controller 1 while players 2 and 4 take turns with controller 2. The game does require 2 controllers for 2 or more players. The Famicom version, published after the NES version, did not utilize the Famicom Four-Way Adapter either.
