Regional Differences

For the most part, the Japanese and European versions are the same, albeit separate versions since Konami did not use region detection yet at this time. However, there still are some differences.

Labels

...But what does it mean? This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation! Notes: Check translation for the Japanese labels.

The Japanese version was released as part of Konami's short-lived "I Love..." educational series, in this case as 「Ｉ　ｌｏｖｅ　社会」 ("I Love Society"). The three baking machines in the game's stages are labeled in kanji as an educational tool to illustrate the baking process.

Labels (JP)	Translation (EN)
第一発酵	First fermentation
第二発酵	Second fermentation
焼き上げ	Baking

The European version removes the Japanese writing and leaves those areas blank instead.
