Unused Text

Starting at 0x22BA3. Skipped in this version is text that was to be used by Dark Queen in the cutscene before the final stage.

LAST. YOU MAY
HAVE BEATEN
THAT MASKED
MORON, BUT I'LL
CRUSH YOU.

The name of the game's first stage at 0x22C14, which are not shown in this version either.

Regional Differences

The European version was published by Sony Electronic Publishing. As a result, this screen shows up before the rest of the licensing text (which shows in both regions in the original release).
