The title screen was changed for the Japanese version. The European title is identical to the US one, save for a single very important space added to the word "PASSWORD".

In the US and European versions, the password screen is on the title screen. In the Japanese version, there is a separate screen for the passwords. Note that the space in "PASSWORD" disappears when you actually choose the option in the European version.

  • In the Japanese version, the frag mine enemy's hitbox is slightly larger, making it harder to avoid.
