Following the failure of ''[[Wikipedia:Radar Scope|Radar Scope]]'' in North America, Nintendo then-president, [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]], requested Miyamoto's aid in converting unsold ''Radar Scope'' units into something that would sell well. Miyamoto conceived the concept of a love triangle and decided to make a game based on the ''Popeye'' character. He, however, was denied the rights for the ''Popeye'' franchise, so he decided to come up with a new idea using his own characters.
