Partial KID Logo

It seems that KID originally wanted to include their logo in the CHR, as with several of their previous games, but was forced to erase most of it due to lack of space.

Regional Differences

General

The European version adds a screen full of copyright info before the opening cutscene, while the Japanese version goes straight to the cutscene.

Japan	Europe

The title screen was redesigned for the European release, and as seen above, the copyright info was moved to a separate screen.

Japan	Europe

In the Japanese version, you play as a kid named Ponpon who kicks footballs. In the European version, you play as a Troll named Winky who kicks fireballs.

Japan	Europe

The music for the Space Ride stage was altered between releases. The echo was removed and the lead was moved from the triangle channel to the pulse channel.
