Attachment In Japan the game was known as Metafight. When being brought over to the west, not only was the name changed, but so was the plot, some of the sprites to compensate for the changed story, and an intro was added.

The English subtitles write out the main character's name as "Allura", while all voice acting in the game refers to her as "Alicia". This is likely an oversight discrepancy, though it remains unknown why this name change was made.

The Japanese version of the game has more parallax scrolling layers. An example would be that the clouds in some of the zones move across the screen, while the international version the clouds are stationary. The Labyrinth zone also has an underwater wave effect in the Japanese version. The only zones that were not changed were the Starlight zone and the Final zone.

The narrator in the European released has a British accent, and instead of stating that the grass in the introduction "feels like pants" will state that the grass "feels like trousers". This was changed to accommodate the difference in the use of the word pants. Several other lines throughout the game have minor differences, too.

In the Japanese version of Kirby's History, every year is filled with something except 1991 where there is an 8-bit statue of Kirby. Since some Kirby media wasn't released in North America, all of the empty years were replaced with 8-bit statues of Kirby, Lololo and Lalala, Waddle Dee, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Magolor.

Attachment In the Japanese version, after all the credits are done, two words will pop up that say "and more". This is possibly a reference to the Japanese version of Kirby Super Star and all versions of Kirby Super Star Ultra where at the very end of the credits, it also says "and more". However, when Kirby Triple Deluxe was localized in North America, the words were changed to "the end". This change is also present in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

On the back cover of the Australian version of Pokémon Diamond, it states:

"...as you search for the Pokémon that rules space in Pokémon Diamond Version."

This is an error, as the legendary Pokémon of Pokémon Diamond is Dialga, who has the power to control time. This mistake is not present on the box art of other regions.

The Japanese version of the game comes in a 2-disc case, but the international version comes in a standard case. It's thought this due to the larger manual in the Japanese version, which needed the extra space.
