Localisation comparisons

All regional versions of the game use the same ROM, changing a handful of details in the game for the localised audience based on whether it is played in a Japanese system or a western one.

It should be noted that all regions use the same opening and ending scenes from the Japanese Mega Drive version of the game.

Title screen

JP version

US/EU version

Playing in Japanese adds "The Shooting Star" as a subtitle, and the title screen is changed to reflect this.

Planet Fanturn/Terra

JP version

US/EU version

Planet Fanturn/Terra features very peculiar differences by region. On a Japanese system, it is a complete Round with two areas and a boss. For reasons unknown, the first area is skipped on a western system. It is, however, still accessible on western systems via Debug Mode.

Sound test

JP version

US/EU version

Following the case with Planet Fanturn/Terra, the sound test is amended accordingly. "Ring Rink" is only playable on a Japanese system, while on western systems "Strange Pirates" is amended as the "RD2-1 Theme".
