The ports ([[GBC]] and [[SNES]]) of Dragon Warrior III differ in graphics. The GBC version also has Monster Medals, which the SNES version does not. Various class, item, and enemy names differ between all three versions.
There are three versions of Dragon Warrior III: [[NES]], [[GBC]], and [[SNES]] (the GBC and SNES versions are considered ports of the NES version). All three have different graphics. The ports have exclusive features. Various class, item, and enemy names differ between all three versions. The maps of buildings and dungeons vary in graphics and minor layout changes (e.g. how long a hallway is). All staircases, doorways, etc. are located in the same areas.
