The Great Giana Sisters is a platform game for the commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST.

The Great Giana Sisters was released in 1987 for multiple platforms. It was quickly withdrawn from shelves due to threats of legal action from Nintendo, due to the games similarity to their flagship franchise Super Mario Bros. These threats of legal action also lead to the ZX Spectrum version of the game to be scrapped, despite being near completion. Due to the short time the game was on shelves, legitimate copies of the game are extremely rare, and are prized by video game collectors.
 
A successor named "Giana 2 - Arther and Martha" was in development, however, it never released, again due to legal actions from Nintendo (despite the fact that the game didn't have anything in common with Super Mario Bros. anymore). After changing the name of the game to " Hard'n Heavy" and a drastic graphical overhaul which included replacing all the Sprites, it was finally released.

In 2005 the game was re-released for mobile phones. Nintendo licensed a heavily polished DS version of the game, which was released in Europe in April 2009.
