Attachment In the Japanese version, if Bonk transforms into his second form he will turn into a cavewoman who can shoot hearts. In the American version, he uses a borrowed sprite from the first Bonk game, Bonk's Adventure, and instead shoots red clouds. This was possibly changed to make the game more appropriate for the target audience outside of Japan.

Attachment In the Famicom release and the Japanese version of the Game Boy port, the first boss' forehead bears a manji, a Buddhist symbol for balance representative of love, mercy, strength, and intelligence. However, outside of East Asia, the manji is widely seen as a hate symbol due to Nazi Germany appropriating a modified version of it as the swastika. Consequently, the international release of the Game Boy edition removes the icon; the top of the boss' head is also made rounder to further reduce visual similarities to a Ku Klux Klan member.

The Castlevania Anniversary Collection reissue of the Famicom version similarly removes the manji from the boss' design, but does not alter the shape of his head. This change is also present in all versions of Castlevania Anniversary Collection rather than being limited strictly to the international release.

The Hidden Mansion mode in the European version was heavily altered and is much harder to complete compared to the Japanese and North American versions:
• Everything is mirrored from left to right.
• The mansion is much darker compared to the main game.
• Some of the ghosts that normally appear later in the game appear earlier.
• Boos have more health and are more difficult to be sucked up by the Poltergust.
• Chauncey's rocking horses are harder to avoid, since they are larger, zig-zag towards Luigi, and travel faster than in the normal mansion.
• In the Bogmire battle, there is time to capture him before he disappears.
• During the Boolossus battle, there is a small cutscene where Luigi must hop on the Poltergust and ride around on it while trying to pop him, making Luigi harder to control.
• In the King Boo & Bowser battle, Bowser's bombs have a shorter fuse.

Attachment In the Japanese version, the player has the option to play a minigame where you can tap the photo of a man on the Touch Screen for various effects on the Top Screen. Due to the nature of the game, it was removed from all oversea copies, making it the only minigame to be removed from the game, making it Japan-exclusive.

Attachment In the DS, both Japanese versions of the PlayStation and Saturn release, and some PC versions of the first Resident Evil game, the cutscene after encountering the first zombie includes a scene where Kenneth's head falls to the floor and rollls towards the camera. The head scene was removed from the other versions, even though his head is still detached from his body.

In later games containing the same scene, such as Resident Evil (2002) and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Kenneth's head remains attached to his body.

Attachment In the Japanese and American versions of the 3DS' "StreetPass Mii Plaza", when attempting to purchase a DLC from a rabbit but then declining to buy it will cause the rabbit to depressively say "Oh, I see...". However, the European version removed the rabbit's depressed response and replaced it with a more neutral "Fair enough!", instead.

This was done to bring it in line with European laws put in place to prevent manipulating children into purchases; "Games should not include practices that are aggressive, or which otherwise have the potential to exploit a child's inherent inexperience, vulnerability or credulity or to place undue influence or pressure on a child to make a purchase."

The tower was altered in the International version to not give any resemblances to religion. Despite this change, you can still hear the bell ringing even though it was removed.

In the Japanese version, Boomerang Bros are capable of dropping an item called "Oho Gear". This item raises defense by 28 points and can be equipped to either Mario or Luigi. For unknown reasons, it was removed from all International ports of the game. However, the item can be found in the game's coding and is only obtainable through cheating devices. The item is fully functional in all versions and its description, "Pants with a raging wave print," was translated into multiple languages in the game's original release. This seems to indicate that the Oho Gear was originally meant to be in the game's international releases, but was disabled late in its development.
