PAL

Picky's stage (and skateboard) has advertisments for Pepsi in the background in Japan, which were replaced with generic Sega logos in the West. The background was also rotated, so the objects appear in different positions relative to the fighting cage.

Finish the arcade mode with any character and the "Options Plus" menu becomes selectable. The US version however, lacks the "portrait" option (and non-Japanese versions lack the "Pepsiman reset" option, because they all lack Pepsiman).

Portrait changes

In addition to removing the "portrait" option, several of the images (which are now only shown during ending sequences) were replaced in the US version. The replacement images come from 22 renders from the introduction, usually visible in portrait mode:
