Besides the different title screen that comes with a title change, the password feature was changed. In Uoozu, press Start on the title screen and on the next screen A or B to change the stage/level and then press Start to input a password. The passwords are also four characters long instead of just two in Fish Dude.

Passwords

The Japanese version of the game includes 6 hardcoded passwords. To activate them, hold Down and press Start on the password screen after entering them.

Each song also includes a title. Press Start to return to the previous screen.

US Version Passwords

Due to the changes made to the password system, all of the above were disabled in the US version. The code is still sitting in the ROM unreferenced and can all but "XENA" can be (sort of) re-enabled via Game Genie codes. With the desired code active, simply go to the password entry screen and press Start.
