Played both versions of this (both the arcade one and the SNES one) in the The Cowabunga Collection. The arcade version was pretty lame to play mainly due to the random difficulty spikes and the tank enemies. The SNES version was way more approachable and fun. However, the arcade one totally wins when it comes to the animation department. So many cute little animations that were just ignored on the SNES. The SNES still wins over it and it's the one to play for sure.
