General Differences#

Title Screen#

Japan	US

Aside from the logo and copyright changes, a Nintendo of America credit was added. As a result, the copyright was moved and the Kemco logo shrunk a bit.

Stage Select#

Japan	US

The US version changes most of the island names, making them mostly generic. This also carries over to the song names in the hidden Music Box.

Gameplay#

• The characters are now fast by default without pressing B, in the original you had to press B to go faster.
• In the US version, if two spies meet in the same split screen, the other screen will turn to black and white until one spy is defeated.
