* 1987 (TM bug variant 2): Featured an extended wind gust, that lasts 2 seconds longer.

Featured on VHS releases of ''Barbie and the Rockers''. It's unknown if the original TV airing used this variant, and the special has not been released on DVD, except in Italy, and it's unknown which logo it uses.
