Retro Games with regional and version differences

>Super Mario Bros. 3. In the Japanese version, all hits make Mario small Mario, instead of the "three layer" system we got, where taking a hit with a suit or flower would just set you back to "big"
>Sonic 3 tends to prefer to call Tails by his first name, "Miles"
>Resident Evil USA (SLUS-00170) is harder than Biohazard JP. Auto-aiming was disabled in the international versions
>Resident Evil 2 Japanese version has some differences which generally makes it easier: A few rooms have less enemies. Some examples taken from Leon A: there is one less zombie in the first room of the game, as well as in the penultimate street before entering the police station. On the mezzanine of the main hall there is one less zombie on the east side. In the first corridor basement of the police station, there are two Cerberus in the Japanese version but three in the international versions. When enemies respawn, in that same corridor there is a single Licker in the Japanese version but two in the international versions. There is also one less zombie in the last room of the B5 Laboratory. Some enemies are placed in slightly different spots that make them easier to dodge, most notably in the streets at the start of the game. Zombies have less HP in the Japanese version
>FFX International has a "load from HDD" option
>DMC 1 NA enemies did 20% more damage and took 20% less damage than the JP version
>Luigi's Mansion PAL has an entirely different Hidden Mansion mode: Everything is mirrored left to right, some ghosts that appear later in the game will now appear earlier, and Boos are more agile and difficult to suck up with the Poltergust
>Wario World Japanese version of the game was released later, and therefore features a different version of the final boss
>Resident Evil 4 US GameCube version (GameCube DOL-G4BE-USA) is harder and just feels unique compared to every other version
>RE4 Ashley section in Chapter 3-4 is fixed camera style
