Interestingly, a slightly different version of the Japanese script for levels is also included, file names using mes_x_hiyoko.bin (x being the level filename color) instead of mes_x_hiyoko_j.bin like used languages/GC Japanese.

Mild difference, the earlier version labels the treasure as "Island of Hidden Treasures" and notes the cave, while final it's "Room of Hidden Treasures" found on the other island. Either this implies a layout change earlier in development where treasure was found in a cave, or the script was off initially.
