Regional Differences

Title Screen

The title screen has a couple minor differences. Interestingly, unlike Super Sprint, they left the staff roll in the Japanese version.

US	Japan

• The TENGEN logo in the US version was changed to HUDSON in the Japenese version, and was changed from a magenta coloring to an orange coloring. Interestingly, the Hudson logo isn't their traditional logo, but rather written in the Tengen logo's font.
• The copyrights for the US version were changed in the Japanese version.

Level Select

US	Japan

The Japanese version changes the button to start as Player 2 from the START button to the A button. This was because the Famicom's second controller lacked a START and SELECT button, and instead was replaced with a microphone.
