More on Playtronic: this page says “Despite being produced in Brazil, the PCBs are identical to standard US releases” (definitely not the case here). So maybe we are looking at a pirated version of a licensed version ...

Did some (light) research on this, and apparently Playtronic WAS licensed to sell Super NES games in Brazil.

We should test these on a North American Super NES to see if they are region locked in any way. https://twitter.com/residualmedia/status/1230226228008955906

Also, read the fine print on the label. "Licensed by Nintendo" to "Playtronic" seems pretty unlikely.

@residualmedia At least it is obvious they are fake. Such a common game, weird someone would make a half-ass attempt to make them.
