Two gigantic gaping crocodile heads bursting vertically out of flat turquoise lagoon water, the larger on the right rearing back with a dark purple throat and pink gums. A small motorboat with two people sits high in the sky-blue band, dwarfed by the reptiles below. The huge pink MISS NESSE lettering in black-shadowed slab western capitals dominates the top edge. Two solid black rectangular cut-out apertures are printed into the water, and a black score window sits just below the title.

Painted backglass in a flat, saturated cartoon style, almost entirely a wall of bright turquoise-blue lagoon water. Two enormous crocodile or alligator heads rear up out of the water in the centre, jaws wide open with pink gums, white teeth and dark purple-black scaled throats; the right animal is far larger, its head tilted back and mouth gaping upward, while a smaller, paler one on the left snaps upwards. On the left third sits a green and blue rocky island or outcrop with pale sandy patches, and behind it a low green shoreline with two thin spindly trees or reeds rising into the sky. At the top a pale blue sky band carries the word SEGA in small dark blue capitals, left of centre, and the big title MISS NESSE in tall pink-and-white western serif capitals with a heavy black drop shadow and white outline, running across the upper right. Just below and right of centre is a black rectangular score window cut into the artwork. Two small solid black rectangular apertures are printed into the water area, one near the centre, one right of the big croc. Near the top left, a small motorboat with two tiny figures rides on a white wake. There is no visible bottom instruction text or copyright line.
