Regional Differences

Title Screen

While the game was originally the second of the Konami GB Collection games when it was released in Japan, it was the third to be released in Europe. As such, its title was changed accordingly, alongside a new title screen design.

Super Game Boy Support

The Japanese version was released for the Game Boy with Super Game Boy support, which included custom borders and palettes. For the Game Boy Color version, released only in Europe, all SGB support was removed.

Intro

  • An additional "Licensed by Nintendo" screen was added before the intro in the EU version.
  • The Konami logo has been updated in the EU version. Also, the Konami logo in the Japanese version loads from the top while the EU logo just pops in.
  • In addition to updating the year, the titles have also been mostly changed. The upgrade to Game Boy Color also allows for better palettes and coloring than on the Super Game Boy version.
