Title Screen

Magic John Totally Rad
What wizards use to "go". Like, killer, dude!

The title screen was completely overhauled. The name is only the first of the game's many attempts to appeal to teenage gamers.

Intro

Magic John Totally Rad
*Slow clap* Purple hair is the latest fashion!

Probably the most noticeable change is to the main characters, who went from anime-style kids in the Japanese version to 1980s-style teenagers in the English version. The text was also changed to use hip, cool slang terms.

Magic John Totally Rad
Purple hair, brown hair, make up your mind! The wind blew her bow off. That explains her hair.

The characters' headgear was also removed: a bow in this case...

Magic John Totally Rad
Cool wings. Uh, you got a little blue on your cheek.

...and a winged cap in this one.
