Region

There are Japanese, North American, and European versions. There is a difference in frame rate: the Japanese and North American versions run at about 60 fps, while the European version runs at about 50 fps. The European version also behaves differently, with the UFOs moving much faster, while the rest of the game is slower. The Switch and Nintendo Classic Mini do not include the European version. Unless otherwise noted, this site includes data for the Japanese/North American versions.
