Regional Differences#

To do: There's more changes primarily related to the tennis players available/defaults in each region

Due to the largely different publishers in each region, a lot of graphics in the game were changed between each region.

Title Screen#

Japan	US	Europe

During the game's boot sequence on Japanese and European versions, the Loriciel logo is used, complete with an animation of the cat running with colored trails past the screen. The American version replaces the Loriciel logo with the Taito logo, which doesn't animate. The Japanese version has the copyright year set as 1992, while the other versions set it to 1993.

Japan	US	Europe

The copyright information was also updated respectively in the title screen. Interestingly, the American version includes a proper copyright symbol in the game's font, while the other versions resort to using (c).

Tennis Courts#

Japan/Europe	US

As with the above changes, the panels in the background of the American version has Taito's branding instead of Loriciel's... except for the middle panel, for some reason.

Region Error#

Japan	US

Attempting to run the Japanese or North American versions of the game on a PAL console hangs the game on these screens after the publisher logo, complete with the publisher logo in the back quickly flickering throughout the screen behind the region lockout text, as if the TV has glitched. The European version does not contain this region lockout and will play on North American and Japanese consoles.
