The fifth and sixth stages are different between the Arcade and console versions.

In the arcade version the fifth stage is a high-rise building where you fight a militia working for the main villain, and when you reach the rooftop you fight the fifth boss of the game. The sixth and final stage is made of a boss rush where you fight all the previous gangs while chasing a big crime boss in the harbor. After defeating all the gangs, Spoiler:the crime boss gets killed and the final battle against Martha Splatterhead ensues.

In the console version the boss rush takes place in the fifth stage instead, right before facing the militia. The sixth and final stage is simply the final boss battle set atop the rooftop of the high-rise building, with the harbor stage being completely removed. Additionally Spoiler:the crime boss from the arcade version is missing in the SNES port, which establishes Martha Splatterhead as the leader of the gangs early on.

The original arcade release features a very minimalistic story, with the only cutscene being a short epilogue that plays after beating the game. The console release expands the story by introducing cutscenes that play before and after fighting a boss, as well as an opening intro explaining the plot and a different ending.

The arcade version uses numeric values to represent the player's character health, while the console version uses a life bar.

The console release features short cutscenes that play after defeating a boss. The Super Famicon version features blood on the defeated boss' portrait whereas the Super Nintendo version has no blood. Depending on the portrait the blood was recolored to look like either saliva or tears, or it was completely removed.

The colors of two of the playable characters are flipped between the Japanese arcade flyer and the game itself. In the game, Blitz wears red and Bullova wears yellow. These colors were flipped in the arcade flyer.
