Unused Graphics

Alternate Billboard

An alternate design of the destructible billboards in Stage 3. Pretty obvious why this version wasn't used. Yikes.

Unused Name Graphics

These three names are never used. Guy's name is misspelled, likely due to an Engrish mistake.

Meta Tiles

A tile marking where there's no graphics tile. Whoa man.

This is the last tile in memory, and marks where the "Scroll 2" section ends.

Unused Tile Types

Tile types 15, 16, 19, 1A, 1B aren't used in the game, though they do have level viewer graphics.

These tiles would be used for a left-facing raised platform. All of the raised platforms in the final game face right.

Round 1 Stairs

The underground area in Round 1 has stairs on each side. These stairs are never seen in the game.
It's unknown why they're here. They have no collision data and they're not present in any other Round of the game.

Unused Text

The following is loaded into memory, right after William S. Sessions' name:

FINAL  FIGHT  TEAM
STREET FIGHTER  '89 TEAM

According to some official Capcom books, Street Fighter '89 was the game's original title.

Regional Differences

Intro

In the Japanese game's intro, Jessica appears on the T.V. screen for an instant before Damnd does. However, in the US and World versions, Jessica is never shown. Damnd's face is always in the monitor, but you can hear Jessica screaming in the background. Who knows why they thought changing this would make the game seem more family-friendly.

Items

Japan	International

The stack of bills has two different designs. The international version has a big double stroke dollar sign on it.
The Japanese item is named "YEN", the international version is "DOLLAR".
