There are three versions of the game with significant differences that make them difficult to compare:
* NTSC-U
: - Runs at 12 fps.
* NTSC-J
: - Runs at 20 fps. The faster game speed brings along a number of in-game differences that require different approaches to many areas in the game.
: - The layout of the boss area in level 3 is different.
: - Singe can be skipped in this version if the Lizard King is spawned at the end.
* PAL
: - The game mechanics are similar to NTSC-J (but slowed down to the usual 5/6 speed due to running at 50 Hz iso 60 Hz).
: - Level 1 boss has been changed from 8 serpents to one big serpent.
: - The boss area layout in level 3 is the same as NTSC-J.
: - Some of the level designs are different. E.g. falling rocks in the elevator sections, dragons flying across the top of the screen dropping stones.
: - Splash screens add around 2 seconds before each level begins.

-There are three versions of the game with significant differences that make them difficult to compare. They behave more like ports of a game to different platforms than regional versions of the same platform. Below is (non-exhaustive) list of noticeable differences:

+: - Runs at 20 fps.
 : - Possible to skip the third serpent in level 1.
 : - When arriving at the bosses of level 2, the screen continues scrolling until the end, making the second mine troll spawn (and possible to hit) earlier.
