Castlevania Chronicles Castlevania

Regional Differences
Being a port/remake of a Japan-exclusive game, some things were changed for the American release.

KCET Logo
In the Japanese version, after the Konami logo fades out, this KCET logo appears. In the international release, it doesn't appear.

Title Screen
In the international release, KCE Tokyo is shown as Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and the background is compressed horizontally compared to the Japanese release.

Sound Module Selection
In the Japanese release, starting the Original Mode brings up this screen. In the international release, it is enabled by pressing R1 and L1 while entering Original or Arrange Mode. However, there are early versions of Castlevania Chronicles that do not need the R1 + L1 combo to access this screen, similar to the Japanese release.

Extras
To make up for the fact that the original wasn't released overseas, the international version included an interview with Koji "IGA" Igarashi and a gallery featuring artwork by Ayami Kojima from Castlevania Chronicles and the Saturn version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, complete with censored succubus.

Konami Code
As the PlayStation does not have an internal clock, this screen enables the player to set the internal time, which is shown on the clock tower's face, and what season is shown in the large painting in the seventh stage exhibited in the hallway before Death. To enable this screen, enter the Konami code at the title screen. The code was altered between the Japanese and international releases, as the two main buttons (Circle and X) had their functions reversed.

Others

 * The dolls in the Tower of Dolls will speak Japanese when they are active and destroyed ("yamete!" which means "stop!", amongst others.) These were hacked out of the American release.
