Chiptune composer Martin Galway developed an unofficial port of The Great Giana Sisters for the Nintendo DS and released it online on February 20th, 2007 to mark the 20th anniversary of the series. The port came out two years prior the official release of Giana Sisters DS.

In-game, the hero of The Great Giana Sisters is called "Gianna" with two N's, while on promotional materials and all future Giana Sisters games, she is called "Giana" with one N. Gianna was the intended name for the character, but the name Giana was a typo on the box art which had to stick due to there being too tight a deadline for the box to be reworked.

It is often rumored that Nintendo filed a lawsuit or sent a C&D to Rainbow Arts over The Great Giana Sisters' resemblance to Super Mario Bros. - however, according to the game's music composer Chris Hülsbeck, this is not true, Nintendo only sent Rainbow Arts an "angry letter" over the UK release's cover art containing the phrase "the brothers are history!", leading to the game being pulled.
