Loved watching this show on the Saturday Morning Motormouth when I was a kid
The dub for this show was notoriously made up on the fly, it was an 'abridged' series long before Team Four Star made such a thing popular with their Dragonball dubs.

There was a Saturday morning block called "Saturday Morning Motormouth"?
So I hear different stories regarding why the dub was given a rewrite. 1) Saban was given the tapes but no scripts. 2) They lost the original scripts 3) They were given the scripts but discovered that the dialogue was full of too many Japanese cultural and linguistic references that would largely fly over the audiences' heads, at the time.
The writing and humor of the show is genius though. What excites me the most is that they were able to get the nearly all of the voice cast back which I imagine was a huge hassle since they weren't seemingly doing much today. Moreover, they still sound like they did in the 90s, although Speedy's voice did show a bit of age (almost to where he sounds a bit modern Spongebob-like). But it looks so amazing! This is the most excited I've ever been for a video game in a long time. And the fact that this is real made me pinch myself numerous times.
