Totally Rad/Regional Differences

Title Screen
The title screen was completely overhauled. The name is only the first of the game's many attempts to appeal to teenage gamers.

Intro
Probably the most noticeable change is to the main characters, who went from anime-style kids in the Japanese version to 1980s-style teenagers in the English version. The text was also changed to use hip, cool slang terms.

The characters' headgear was also removed: a bow in this case...

...and a winged cap in this one.

Act 1
More radical art changes. Notice the ZAP! is farther away in Totally Rad.

Act 2
More art changes. Notice how the artist never bothered to extend the boss's shoulder for Allison's hip new haircut.

Act 3
Yet more art changes.

Act 4
More art changes.

Act 5
Same as above. Notice Allison's blue hair.

Ending
Art changes. Allison has the same face on the second frame.
