Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2001 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Sixth-generation handheld. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Cartridge. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

16 hardware configurations are linked to this family: Indigo, Arctic White, Glacier, Fuchsia, Jet Black, Platinum, Spice Orange, Milky Blue, 8 more.
