-The menu background copies the 'dancing girl' motif found in //State of the Art//, made by tracing pre-recorded video with vectors. In //Winter Gold// the course graphics use the same technique, though the traced video in these cases was originally 3-D. It's one of the most interesting looking SNES games: the graphics look like a jumbley [[tool:hardware:PlayStation]] game, and the sparse, considered use of colour and lighting recall //[[mirrors_edge|Mirror's Edge]]//. Effectively the game is just sprites on a streaming background (though one created in real-time--as incredible and contradictory as real-time and streaming seem to be) but feels much more alive than that.
