Releases

The two versions compared on this page are the following:

Title screen

Besides the title logo, there were a few small changes to the title screen:

• Shadows were added under the leaves on four of the tree trunks.
• The sign pointing to Wario's Woods was changed to an arrow shape.

Japanese version	U.S. version

After the sign was changed, the top of the bushes became a straight line where the sign corner used to be.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Name Entry screen

The Name Entry screen text had to be changed from hiragana characters to the English alphabet. There were a couple more changes made here:

• The Japanese version has a default name filled in: きのぴお (Kinopio), which is Toad's Japanese name.
• The arrows that move the cursor left or right in the name box were changed from gray to green.

Japanese version	U.S. version

A word from Birdo

At the start of a round, Birdo says "Fight" (Faito) in the Japanese version. This was changed to "Play!" in the U.S. version.

Looking Up

In both versions, you can press the B and A buttons simultaneously to move Toad to the top of the stack that he is holding. The U.S. version also lets you press Up on the Control Pad to do this useful technique, which makes it much easier to perform.
