To do: More regional differences. Also, compare the re-translation.

Shockman is the second game in the Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman series, and the only one to get a Western localization on its platform of origin, with every game in the series being localized for modern platforms in 2023 and 2024.

This installment is more Mega Man-esque, with the odd horizontal shmup level for good measure.

Sound Test#

After the ending is over, when the words "To be continued" appear on the screen, hold Select and press Up or Down to cycle between songs.

Regional Differences#

Japan	US

Aside from the logo overhaul, the copyright year was updated.

Japan	International

Tasuke and Kyapiko's names are changed to Arnold and Sonya, respectively.

Left+Right+Down Glitch#

For some odd reason, pressing Left, Right and Down on the D-Pad simultaneously (which isn't normally possible on an actual controller) causes the game to crash.
