Version Differences

The original NTSC 1.0 release of the game (which had a black cartridge) had a bug where the two-player Frag Tag trial would always report mission failure regardless of how many points you had, rendering the Co-Op Medal impossible to achieve. This bug was fixed in a 1.1 version of the game (which had a standard grey cartridge) sent out to players who complained in a poorly-advertised product recall.

Regional Differences
