In the Japanese version, every death is followed up by a clip of Luda laughing. The international versions cut straight to the "Get Ready!" screen, only showing Luda if the player gets a game over.

The pause function is disabled in the Japanese version unless the level select code has been inputted, the international versions let you pause by default.

Audio

The original audio track from the Japanese version has been almost completely replaced in the international versions, the only trace of the original being the ending scene.

Japanese International

The opening song "Jikuu wo Koete" had its vocals replaced with the melody, and the beginning of the song is slightly cut off.
