  • No info on power-ups available from the option menu, though the text is partially present in the ROM.
  • There is a track for a scrapped Rocket level present in the music test.
  • The private option screen contains additional stats for 'Max', 'Average', and 'Watch'.
  • Vectorman's life icon is different on the bottom.
  • Multipliers are not prerendered graphics.
  • No score printed when getting a game over.
  • "ELAPSED TIME BONUS" instead of just "TIME BONUS".
  • Levels aren't referred to as Days. Level names are also different.
