The two versions compared on this page are the following:

Yoshi's Safari was one of the few games made for the Super NES Super Scope light gun peripheral. Although it's a relatively short spin-off, the game has some interesting name changes...

Title screen

Yoshi's Safari received a new logo design to go with its new name. It's interesting to note that in the Japanese "Yoshi's Road Hunting" logo, Bullet Bills are used as part of the katakana "n" characters.

Comparing the backgrounds on the title screen, we can see that some changes were made to the colors and clouds in the U.S. version:

• New cloud shapes were added, and the clouds are arranged differently behind the logo.
• The sky was changed to a lighter shade of blue and now has a more subtle gradient.
• The dark gradient on the hills was also lightened up a little.

Princess "Peach" Toadstool

Yoshi's Safari was the first game in North America to call the Princess by her original Japanese name "Princess Peach." She was back to "Princess Toadstool" in Super Mario RPG (May 1996), then "Peach" again in Super Mario 64 (September 1996).
