Password Screen

The password screen lost a lot of detail in the international versions, removing the graphic of the athlete, the red border, the bow at the bottom of the password entry and the underlines beneath the "Password please." text. The password entry was also centered and the previously mentioned text was changed to blue, which also slightly affects the colors of the shoes.

Typewriter Screen

To keep with Nintendo of America's policies at the time, the lit cigarette and the ash tray it's in was removed in the international versions.

Portraits

Some of the character portraits are totally redrawn between regions, possibly because they looked like they were melting in the Japanese version.

A staff roll that was present in the Japanese version was omitted from the international versions, despite being completely in English. In the Japanese version, the text can be easily read in the game's code, but the text was completely removed in the western versions. The full text reads as follows:
