This game has a run page on SDA!Versions
There are three versions of the game with significant differences that make them difficult to compare:
- NTSC-U

- 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.
- - 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.
- - 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.
