Well I stumbled over an interesting story, that naturally ended up in an article to write.
This one’s pretty odd, but the tl;dr version is that Pixar sued DMA Design. They’d created a game on the SNES which featured a unicycle. That’s it. That’s the extent of the copyright infringement Pixar claimed.
Back in 1987 Pixar had made a CG short which featured a unicycle, and so all those years later…they got weirdly litigious.
If you’re curious, I found this a super interesting story to cover!
Not just the controls, but the entire game design is utterly unique. It’s a breakneck 2d racing game where you can only see about 1/4 second ahead of you (or less). You navigate jumps and turns by reading the color of the track. It becomes surprisingly intuitive. It’s such a fun game that I wish could be on NSO to see some wider popularity.
