Regional Differences

There are minor aesthetic differences, such as the title screen graphics.

The translation is fairly straightforward, but the names for almost every area were changed or rearranged in some way (an oddity, given that the names were listed in English in the first place and did not exhibit glaring errors):

Japanese	American
Stage 1: Plain Plant	Stage 1: Plant Plain
Level 2: Aronge Valley	Level 2: Arange Gorge
Stage 1: Ghost Ground	Stage 1: Ghost Grounds
Stage 2: Growth Grass	Stage 2: Growth Grasses
Level 3: Ieras Adventure	Level 3: Iello Adventure
Level 4: Neo Geneo	Level 4: Neo Greo
Level 5: Blue Hills	Level 5: Bloo Hills
Level 6: Oltram Area	Level 6: Omarine Zone

Unused Maps

Three test maps for the Block Breaking boss minigame engine are present under the folder bank08bin and can be accessed via Action Replay code 220F29B0 00000003 (EU only) or by swapping files. They have an odd time limit of 60 minutes.

The first two maps are especially wide compared to most normal maps from this mode, with various enemies and special blocks in very high quantities hinting at the testing purpose of the map. The third map is a duplicate of a used map.
