In the beginning, the second trailer shows a very early version of the game: it had a different HUD that contained a Multiplayer Mode, had Debug Text in the top left corner, and a lot of room changes. After that, different footage is shown, probably a late version since only sounds and camera angles were different. You also had to slowly build up momentum, which was removed in the final release.

Japan vs. USA - Removed Impact Stage
Konami released four screenshots of an Impact stage that didn't make it into the final product. The stage would've had a theme of America fighting against Japan, which may have been removed due to being slightly controversial.
1996
Impact in a city about to crush an enemy wearing a cowboy hat and gun. This enemy is only seen in these screenshots and isn't present in the final game.
1997
The 1997 screenshots show an interface with a meter and the flags for the countries. Impact is seen at the Golden Gate Bridge, which a bridge located in San Francisco, California.
Impact is fighting against an evil Sasuke. He's normally an ally of Goemon in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, but he was an enemy in the Super Nintendo title The Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
