Regional Differences

Title Screen

Music

The Asia version had the music for the casino level (titled "'Please, Help Me!' (Warehouse Stage BGM)" in the official soundtrack) completely replaced, probably for copyright reasons (the original was inspired by "El Bimbo" by Claude Ciari).

Hidden Player Select Message

In the background of the "Select Player" screen is some graffiti, with the top half saying "Hey! I need more raise!" and having an alien doodle, while the bottom half has an aiaigasa, having the names of some characters: Hikaru-chan (ひかる ちゃん) on the left side, while on the right side Takosuke's name (タコスケ) is crossed out and replaced with Viper (バイパー♡).

This background is only briefly seen before the rest of the player select options in the foreground load in. Note that only the top half of the background is displayed in both the Japanese and Asian English versions, while the bottom half is exclusive to the Japanese version.
