Trivia

• Both Mickey Mania 7 and China Rabbit Baby were originally released by J.Y. Company and Contra Spirits was being developed for them as well. The contract was likely broken (for unknown reason) and the developer left J.Y. for Hosenkan. Ei-How Yang games were removed from J.Y. multicarts after 1996 as well.
• Hosenkan also produced a few multicarts which were distributed by Realtec. These cartridges always featured a game by Ei-How Yang. For example, VIP002 is a 6-in-1 with Contra Spirits, Top002 features Mickey Mania 7.
