Versions

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.
