Regional Differences

Title Screen

The title screen was changed for the Japanese version. The European title is identical to the US one, save for a single very important space added to the word "PASSWORD".

Password Screen

In the US and European versions, the password screen is on the title screen. In the Japanese version, there is a separate screen for the passwords. Note that the space in "PASSWORD" disappears when you actually choose the option in the European version.

Miscellaneous Differences

  • In the Japanese version, you replenish one heart after each level.
  • In the Japanese version, the frag mine enemy's hitbox is slightly larger, making it harder to avoid.

Level/Room Differences

Stage 2-2

US/Europe Japan

There are significantly fewer spikes and pits in the Japanese version.

Stage 2-3
