Annotations are gone, but here is everything to re-cap and appeared in that order: Intro: 0:03 The Japanese version has a green star-like figure as the Pleed for help is sent and the "The Shooting Star" is added to the Title screen (The Green monster in the American version is there, you can't see it because of the frame rate of the video but it is there) The American version has subtitled added to tell whats going on Level Intro: 2:50 Planet Name is different on both versions; see video description for all planet names Ristar Idle Animations: 3:01 The Japanese version has him Happy The American version has him Angry Enemy Animations: 3:20 The Japanese version has them looking Normal The American version has them looking ticked off Bonus treasure: 3:46 The Japanese version tells the name of the Treasure The American version awards Bonus Points but no treasure name Level Complete: 3:59 The Japanese version has the Valdi System Tag, but removed in the American Version Starfish Enemy 4:20 Not present in the Japanese version Mecha Birds mini-Boss 4:55 The Japanese version shows a Musical Note to when they'll attack, the American version removes this making it much harder Missing cut scene on Round 5 5:50 The American version has Ristar skiing down a hill, just like Sonic from Ice Cap Zone Act 1 on Sonic 3, this is removed in the Japanese version Changes on Round 5 Boss 6:29 The Japanese version has the monster looking more like a cat The american version has the monster looking more like a beast Anti-gravity Session 7:37 The Japanese version has Ristar looking like he is swimming in midair as the invisible water is slowly going down The American version has it look like Ristar just put on some "Anti-Gravity" Shoes, but it is pretty much the same Different Passwords 8:41 I think this was referring to passwords in the American version, whilst also showing the Valdi System The Round 5 boss error during End Credits 10:33 The Japanese version has Ristar having 5 Fingers and the Boss looks normal The American version has Ristar having 4 Fingers and the Boss has the Tail from the Japanese Version; the actual boss didn't have this visible during Gameplay on this version so that's an error Endings 10:50 The Japanese version has Greedy and his Henchman on the Planet looking up at a Projected Ristar (You can't see it because of the frame rate of the video) and it says in the bottom-right "The End The American version has Ristar reunite with his Dad (which looks like a giant version of him) and it says in the bottom-right "CONGRATULATIONS!!"

in my opinion, the good things about the japanese version are: Ristar's face (he looks more adorable) the cat boss, the less angry enemies (I love the derpy looks) and the name of the bonus objects. On the other hand, what I would add from the american version are the anti gravity shoes in the sixth planet, the sky cutscene and the ending scene with Ristar's dad. A version like that would be perfect

STAR : Makes a shooting star appear on screen as a nod to making a wish when you see a shooting star CANDY : Invincibility MACCHA : Mention of the "Miyake color" referring to Takumi Miyake, designer of Ristar amongst other Sonic Team titles. Apparently this changes the color palette of Greedy's castle to a greenish color in the final boss battle against Greedy. MASTER : Simple mention of a next game AAAAAA : Unlimited continues FEEL : Hyper mode, which is passwords CANDY (Invincibility), MIEMIE (Blue star marking on hidden item spots) and ILOVEU (Stage select) combined. VALDI : Displays the Valdi solar system. HETAP: Reverses the "High score" in the gameplay demo to "Worst score" with a score of 9999900 points. (Not shown in the video)

I don't know why she doesen't appear in the US version. They could have kept her, but didin't. The plot bit of Ristar's father being captured wasn't even in the JPN version! Also, i have no idea what the green thing with eyes, arms and legs that can float in the Americain version of the opening is. It's not in the JPN version... Another also, i kind of like the Japanese version's "The Shooting Star" subtitle...

US Game gear version didn't have these changes. The one change i think was really good, though (for the Genesis US changes), was the ending sequence. Gives you a nice payoff to the beginning sequence.

Ah. And i viewed the ending myself, and it turned out the Ristar picture DID flash. Why is the "FUU..." part of Game Over and "Pre-Song Intension" removed from the Japan version?

I wish there was a version out there like the Japanese Version but with the skiing cutscene and both endings (the japanese intro cutscene kinds works better for me though)

Being able to navigate the Valdi System has gotta be the neatest cheat code, shame it wasnt included in the US version.

Ok, in the Japanese version, they made the ice boss easy. When the boss jumps you can see the shadow indicating where the boss will land. And the design is different for the boss. But in the American version, they made that the opposite which makes it kind of hard to see where the boss is landing, and they gave the boss a kind of more mean design like they did to others.

The only change that makes sense is the boss of Freon/Elykiki Why would a robot ice cat be here? It makes more sense for it to be a ice slime water monster

***** Well that stinks. I guess it's similar to how *Square* would give us regular *_Final Fantasy_* games but gave Japanese and INT players the ones with added extras like weapons, areas and optional bosses.

***** Even if you haven't played them, trust me, that's exactly the same as what you explained to me about *_Ristar_* and I'll give you an example. *_Final Fantasy X_* has a boss named Omega Weapon. In the US version, he has 99,999 hit points; in the JP/PAL/INT version, he has 999,999 hit points. There are armor pieces for your characters that aren't available in the US version, one named Ribbon which prevents status ailments like being poisoned or confused. Some of the summoned creatures that you can use in battle have attacks that hit multiple times but the damage is capped. Two attacks by summons hit once in the US version but in the JP/PAL/INT versions hit multiple times. It's pretty cruel in a way but it's been said that Japanese game designers and creators usually feel that US players aren't up to the challenge so they remove stuff like this. Sometimes we do get these kinds of treats and the JP designers add to it for JP players. Sorry for the rambling.
