Literally a bootleg. Midway took the sprites, engine, and even some of the level design from Shin'en's surprisingly solid EU-exclusive Maya The Bee games, stripped out all of the animation, made the controls worse, and dropped Manfred Linzner's great GAX music, just to sell an inferior product to America in the hopes of capitalizing off The Bee Movie. And on top of that, Midway released it on the DS too with zero changes, and it still looks worse than Shin'en's work on the GBA?

This game is so weird. I don't even care about Maya The Bee, but Shin'en deserved better than this, man.
