Revisional Differences

Starting in 1990, some Master Systems featured a built-in version of the game with a few changes:

• The copyright date was updated.
• The original version used 1 to jump and 2 to punch. These were switched for the built-in version, resulting in a more conventional layout.

Original	Rerelease

• The rice ball that Alex eats on the map screen was changed to a hamburger, mostly made to make the game more appealing to non-Japanese audiences.

Original	Rerelease

• The end-of-stage marker was also changed accordingly.
