Start of level 1. The rest also works besides the water jump. The scrolling to the left is not 100%, and the frog colors are off. The 6809 to 68000 transcoding technique that was used allows to get all levels working at once, no need to painstakingly placing enemies, recreating what has already been done perfectly moons ago. There's also some footage showing a short part of the cave level, with exclusive IM76 level 3 tune rendition.
