Top right: a screenshot of the main menu of Wrecking Crew ‘98 for the Super Famicom, a Japanese-only remake/sequel to the NES game. The game contains an updated mode as well as a classic mode, which is the unaltered original game. The main menu features a preview image for the classic mode that uses slightly different sprites than the NES game.
