The title screen displays 'RIBBIT!' in large, colorful letters with yellow-green and orange shading against a black background. A green frog sprite appears on the left side and an orange frog sprite on the right side, both facing toward the center. The SEGA logo appears in blue text in the lower center, with a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive cartridge notation visible below it. The overall visual style uses bright, pixelated 8-bit graphics typical of early 1990s arcade releases.
