Bad Ending

The Japanese version has two bad endings, which are triggered if you let one of the last bosses escape. These were removed for the North American version. However, the translation for these endings can be found inside the ROM of the North American version.

Bad Ending 1	Bad Ending 2
The earth is in great peril. Don't give up. You still have one chance to save mankind.	Now the world is in great danger from the gorgonzula. You are the world's last hope. You have one more chance to save the world.
