So very stubbly.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Debug Mode

The Game Genie code PEKYVYAA enables a debug mode. Besides being able to pass through enemies freely, you can select the stage you start on by pressing A on the player select screen.

Regional Differences

Due to the name change, the Japanese version features a different, larger logo on the title screen. The Taito logo was also added in the US release.

Level Intro Screen

In the level intro screens, the map is positioned lower in the Japanese version since the required space to place the text is smaller compared to the US version. The Japanese version also shows the score counters above the map.

Gameplay differences

  • In an effort to emulate the arcade game more closely, the Japanese version gives Toki only a single hit point and shows a large mugshot of him on the HUD, which is absent from the US version. Furthermore, the US version gives Toki a health system with two hit points (with opportunities to increase it up to four).
  • In the US version, defeating a boss (excluding the final boss) causes three random powerups to sprout on-screen: Coins and fruit which can be found in the stages regular, and several larger items exclusive to the US version. In the Japanese version, the stage instantly ends after the boss is defeated.
