Different names manes different title screens across regions. The (non-Alex) character sprites have also become misaligned in the Korean version. The "push start button" text and subsequent main menu is white in the West, so is harder to read.

If Alex Kidd loses a Janken battle in the Japanese version, he also loses his clothes. In the West, a big weight lands on his head instead.
