Equipped with a sword and a jetpack, his mission is to push back the evil Devotindos Empire, destroy their massive starship, the Pig Star, and exact revenge against the corrupt Rocket Knight who betrayed the kingdom of Zephyrus and killed his adoptive father. This needs some investigation.Discuss ideas and findings on the.Specifically: Which version(s)? Is there any code left that points to these strings?Next to the title screen's text ('start', 'options'.), one can find the strings 'game', 'demo', 'on' and 'off' (address 0x52FE).Stage SelectIn the Japanese version, the level selection code is as follows: on the Konami logo screen, press Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Right and Sparkster will scream. On the main menu, hold A and press Start.While Sparkster will scream if you enter the code in the European version, the level select flag is ignored and will do nothing.
The US version does not check for cheat codes on the Konami screen (though the code's data is still in the ROM).Regional Differences Main MenuA minor change, but in the Japanese version, the sound effects for when you choose and confirm an option are a sparkle (used when you get an item) and a sword clash, respectively. In the international versions, these are a loud sparkle and Sparkster's rocket taking off, respectively.JapanInternationalChoose option.
Intro JapanInternationalThe Japanese version features a different intro cutscene than the international versions, which is closer in style to the cutscenes seen throughout the rest of the game. It shows a group of opposums enjoying a peaceful day in the countryside, until a pair of pig soldiers appears and chases them away. The scene ends with the ghostly image of Emperor Devligus Devotindos floating in the darkened sky.The international cutscene is darker and a bit more visually impressive, and depicts Sparkster standing on top of a pillar of rock in front of the castle. As he unsheathes his sword, the camera spins around behind him, and the same image of the Emperor appears in front of him and begins to laugh.Although the opossum civilians were removed from the international versions' intro, they can still be seen running around the castle in the second half of the first stage.Level Introduction Screen JapanInternationalThe Japanese version features a small opossum orchestra at the beginning of every stage. The international versions replaced this with a zooming starfield and images of Sparkster in various heroic poses.Continue and Game Over ScreensJapanInternationalContinueGame OverThe orchestra was removed from the international versions' Continue and Game Over screens as well.Difficulty LevelsIn the Japanese and European versions, you can only choose one of the two easiest difficulty settings. The last two must be unlocked by completing the game in the previous difficulty, or by using a cheat code. In the US version, every difficulty level is available by default.
Additionally, the names for the difficulty levels were changed between versions:JPNormalHardVery HardCrazy HardEUEasyHardVery HardCrazy HardUSChildrenEasyNormalHardDifficulty settings in italics must be unlocked.The Japanese version allows you to fight against the very last boss in the easiest difficulty level, whereas the European and US versions end the game prematurely and tell you to try a harder setting.As you'd expect, when the game tells you to try the next difficulty, it uses the appropriate name for each version.
