While the games Japanese theme was left intact, many items in the game were not. Onigiri is a food made of rice, wrapped in seaweed and shaped in different forms. These foods can be bought from shops in the Japanese versions. Since Onigiri wasn't known in the west, it was changed to Pizza, a more traditional food in the west. The names of the main characters were also changed. Goemon became Kid Ying and Ebisumaru became Dr. Yang. There also some censorship that was made to the game. This involves two scenes that you can watch for $100. One of the scenes, involves Ebisumaru dancing and eventually farting at the end. This scene was removed most likely because Ebisumaru pulls his pants down at the end. However, the game's instruction manual, Nintendo Power article and it's section in the Prima's Super NES Secrets Volume 2 book, prove that this event was cut late in development, after sending the game to publications for review. The second scene was where a Japanese lady preforms a strip tease. This scene was obviously removed from the U.S version due to Nintendo's strict policies. The PAL version (released later in 1994) is the same as the U.S release with a slower frame rate due to it being a PAL game. However, Europe also received a complete German translation of the game exclusive to Germany (what a shock). | ||
