Sound Test (and Extra Levels)

• Hold Select, press B ten times at the title screen.

This gives a rather barebones menu with an additional 50 stages and a sound test.

Regional Differences

Japan	US	Europe

The game was given a different name (and thus, title screen) in each of the major regions. The Japanese title could be roughly translated as "Solomon's Key 2: Coolmint Rescue Mission", in reference to the game's setting on the icy Coolmint Island.

Japan	US/Europe

The Japanese game's save functionality was replaced with a password screen in international versions.

Japan	US/Europe

Round 4-3 contains four pipes in the Japanese version, whereas the international versions only have three. This was most likely changed because the original pipe formation resembles a swastika. This is a sacred symbol in Japan, but has negative connotations in other regions such as America and Europe.

The Japanese version allows you to undo your last move by pressing Select; this functionality was disabled in all international versions.
