In the Japanese intro, when it shows Jessica on the TV screen, she's shown torso only and wearing only a bra for a top. This was altered for all non-Japanese versions to her wearing the red dress we see her in several times later in the game. However, some non-Japanese prints don't even use the alternate outfit and only shows Damnd/Thrasher laughing into the TV screen. The two female characters (Roxy and Poison) do not appear in the US versions of the Super NES and GBA ports. They are replaced by Sid and Billy. Reason for this replacement is due to the "provocative outfits" of the original female characters (Very small tanktop and VERY short shorts). However, the female characters were reinstated for the US Sega CD release, yet their tanktops and shorts were lengthened to cover up more skin. In the home versions, after you break the car. When the guy comes out, he doesn't say "Oh! My God!!" Instead, he says "Oh! My Car!!" Two of the bosses had their names changed in the US version of the Super NES port:Stage 1 boss "Damnd" had his name changed to "Thrasher". Stage 2 boss "Sodom" had his name changed to "Katana". The "Industrial Area" stage is missing in Super NES version due to graphical limitations, yet reinstated in the Sega CD and Game Boy Advance editions.
