Asterix and the Great Rescue (Genesis)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:
There are some regional differences between the US and European versions. Document the level naming scheme and some changed level design. There might be some other changes too. Also is the 5th Boss theme (Sound Test 12) unused in both? If it is, rip it.

One of very few Asterix games to see a release in the States. Unfortunately, the one the States got is arguably his most notorious game, mainly because of its absurd difficulty that's only made worse by short time limits that leave no room for error.
