Is this the game where the main character gets hit by a bird while on a roller coaster?

I haven't played this since it was new, so my memory is a little foggy..

Damn I forgot all about this, that was a serious birdstrike

They were joking about that happening to Fabio, the model on the cover.

Unofficial model. They did the same thing with contra when they had Arnold and Sly on the cover.
