Collector interest

A Game Boy port of Irem's arcade franchise about a mallet-wielding carpenter, whose handheld counterpart shipped in very small numbers in Europe and never reached the American market. This PAL exclusivity, paired with an Irem barely present on handhelds, explains the striking complete-copy values. The gem rests as much on distribution scarcity as on its tie to an arcade license cult in Japan but marginal in the West.
