Regional Differences#

Title Screen and Options Menu#

Japan

USA

Europe

Only the European game has a title screen with the ability to enter an options menu, despite the programming existing and seemingly fully functional in the other regions. Note that the Super Scope option highlighted in the screenshot will only appear if the Super Scope is connected. In this game, the Super Scope is used only when the game switches to first-person view (Periscope Mode).

To gain access to the options screen, activate the following game enhancer codes and press Start on the title screen.

It's possible to use just the first two codes from a set, but there will be a visual glitch (the title screen fades out twice).

Misc.#

  • The Japanese version has a Continue Yes/No prompt when a mission is failed instead of just showing the Game Over screen, at least for the first mission.
