Publisher changes

PAL version

Due to the European version being published by Sega instead of Sunsoft, various references to Sunsoft were replaced with Sega, hiding the fact that Sunsoft developed this port. This has also led to the copyright dates being redrawn and being assigned the palette of the Psygnosis logo to accommodate the palette changes.

PAL version

The Sunsoft logo at the end of the credits was also replaced, and a palette correction was made to the lemming's eye, collar and sleeves. Besides these, everything else is the same; one of the difficulty ratings is still called "SUNSOFT", and the "SUNSOFT Special" level is still intact.

Passwords

NTSC-J/NTSC-U version (US)/PAL version

Though the NTSC-J/NTSC-U versions are the same ROM, the game uses a different password system which uses all 26 letters of the alphabet when playing on a Japanese console, while on a US console the password system does not use any vowels. The PAL version uses the same password system as the US version.

This difference is also in the SNES version of the game (which was also developed by Sunsoft) due to Nintendo of America's censorship policies requiring password systems to omit vowels overseas.[1] It is likely Sunsoft applied the same differences to the Mega Drive version for consistency.

PAL version

Due to the different password systems across regions, the NTSC-J/NTSC-U ROM uses different password lists according to the console language. For example, the password for Fun Level 2 is QWKYN on a US console, and NSHNU on a Japanese console. The PAL ROM uses the same password system as the US version, but all the level passwords have been reshuffled (e.g. The password for Fun Level 2 is changed from QWKYN to WQHMN).
