The Great Giana Sisters is a 1987 platform game developed by Rainbow Arts under its label Time Warp Productions.

According to several urban legends, Nintendo initiated a copyright infringement lawsuit against Rainbow Arts because of similarities to its new game Super Mario Bros., but there has never been such a lawsuit. Rather, Nintendo directly influenced The Great Giana Sisters being withdrawn from sale, as the company had already done with other games.

Several factors influenced the withdrawal of the game, including conspicuous similarities: the general gameplay and the first level of The Great Giana Sisters are nearly identical in layout to the first stage found in Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. The immediate similarity to Super Mario Bros. ensured that The Great Giana Sisters was quickly noticed by both the public and the video game industry itself. Nintendo urged the makers of The Great Giana Sisters to withdraw the game from sale, arguing that it was obvious copyright infringement. Rainbow Arts immediately stopped production and, at the same time, the game began vanishing from stores. The rarity of the game has led to copies of it becoming collector's items.

## Music

The soundtrack is voted 25th favorite top SID by HVSC Crew and SID fans. Chris Hülsbeck composed in his Soundmonitor, and converted the 7 main songs and 15 sound effects to The Final Musicplayer, which takes over 4 KB less and, for the first time, can play a sound effect over 3 channels of music.

### Audio Devices

This game uses the computer's built-in SID chip. The bass of all songs and the melody of Castle sound different on every 6581 because it uses SID's infamous filter. On the 8580 revision, the percussion of Title is quiet.
