May is the only female enemy in the Final Fight series who neither was replaced by a male enemy in the international version of the game or has a named palette swap.

In the European version of the game, holding Select until the Capcom logo fades away will bring up a debug menu which allows for various cheats such as health regeneration and a stage select. In the North American version of the game, this is disabled and only accessible via an Action Replay or similar device.

The enemy G was black in the Japanese version of the game, but his skin tone was lightened in the international version.

The game was released as Final Fight Tough in Japan, and had a more decorated logo.
