Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition was the first Street Fighter II port on the Genesis, thus starting a long tradition of breaking exclusives...
Also notable for being the first Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game to come in a 24-megabit cartridge, but also infamous for having low-quality voice clips that have often been thought to be because of the hardware's audio, but it turns out that it was a actually a bug that caused them to sound like this.
Debug Menu#
Enter Pro Action Replay (PAR) code 0000CAF8:B0DE and select "Option" on the main menu. It looks and feels almost identical to the Super Street Fighter II menu.

Regional Differences#

Attempting to play a copy of Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition in a different region Mega Drive or Genesis console it was not designed for (e.g. European game in North American console or vice versa) will result in this message appearing when the game is powered on. The Japanese game does not feature any region lockout and can be played on any console regardless of region.

International versions changed Max being punched by Scott from black to white and alters his hair style, possibly due to fear of the original scene coming off as racist. It should be noted that this is the only instance of this censorship; all other international releases of the game and its ports leave Max's original skin color intact.

The name change meant the removal of the pretty fancy "PLUS" graphic in favor of a longer, slightly squished subtitle. Additionally, the Dash and Excite options were renamed to Champion and Hyper.
