    Are there any differences between Sonic 1 US and Sonic 1 Japanese?

    I have both ROMs and I am curious to know if there are any noticeable differences.

    In the Japanese version, the water have a special effect in LZ and SBZ. Also the floating blocks in MZ moves up and down when they hit the lava. All zones have more scrolling effects in the backgrounds. Finally if the language is set to Japanese, the level select code is different.

    That's about it.

    In Sonic Mega Collection, I used a cheat to set it to Japanese (Z x9, Up, Down, Left, Right at the Sonic 1 information screen, and the level select cheat is the same, and the effects (scrolling clouds in GHZ, ripple effect underwater) are still there.

    Were you expecting Mega Collection to give you the real deal? It's just an emulator that barely holds its own. Why try to add new codes to old games if they don't work? They should have put more Easter Eggs and features in there to begin with.

    Can you do the Sonic Team Credits/Press Start Button cheat in that "Japanese" mode you're talking about?

    Correct me, if I?m wrong, but in Sonic 1 US Version, there was that annoying spike bug, that killed you if you got hit by spikes and got another hit by spikes...

    In Japanese version, that bug was fixed...

    but, I can?t say that for sure...

    I tested japanese version, and spike bug is in japanese version... so I was confused, because of Mega Collection. Stupid me.

    Is it just me or does Scrap Brain Zone 3 look like it could be something like Labyrinth Zone Act 4?

    Yes, in the ROM SBZ3 is stored as LZ4. SBZ3 is FZ. Confusing to the max.

    There are three and a half versions:

    1.0: US and European version
    2.0: Japanese version
    3.0: Spike bug fix
    3.5: Sonic Jam version w/ spindash (not a true version since it's not the original game)
