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

 |
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.
