Anthy in Snow Bros

The Genesis/Mega Drive version of Snow Bros is arguably the best port of the Tengen/Toaplan classic arcade to this date, with 20 extra levels where you can control the two princesses. Something I noticed some time ago was that one of the princesses looks a LOT like Anthy from the Shoujo Kakumei Utena manga/anime. Probably just a coincidence, since the Utena manga started in 1997 and the game is from 1993, but I guess that Utena fans would like to try the game, at least. Here goes the evidence:

Two shots from the first level where you can control her. Use the AJSX password to start in this level.

A closeup of her sprite.

And an Anthy image where you can see the similarities clearly.
