Score screen

On the Select File screen, choosing "Score" and then one of your saved games will show your Stars/score total in each course for that file. On that screen, pressing A will replace your scores with the high scores, showing what file (Mario A, B, C, or D) they belong to. In the English version, they replaced the word "Mario" with a nice Mario head. The English side looks a bit cramped, so this was probably done to conserve space.

Really sunken ship

The painting for Course 3 in the Japanese version is just a painting of bubbles. Also note the blue frame, the only non-gold frame in the entire game. I'd say they made the frame gold in the English version just to match all the others. The painting in the Japanese version was pretty plain, so it's understandable why they added the ship.
