Versions
- In the Japanese version of the game the loser of rock paper scissors contest will have his clothes removed. This was changed in the international version, where the loser will be flattened by heavy weight. As well, some of the names were changed and color of font in main menu was altered from red to white.
- The Japanese version also lacks the TMSS support, requiring the use of the Game Genie to play on Mega Drive consoles with it.
- The European version of the game appears to be based on US one, with no optimization for PAL format done.
- The South Korean version of the game does not have the Jankenpo theme.
