Glitches
Version 1.2
- In some pressings of this version during the intro, when Reader Rabbit calls Mat the Mouse over to come down and introduce herself, the former's head disappears. The animation of which Reader calls Mat over appears after which, and it freezes at that point until after Mat finishes speaking. However, this is not always the case.
