Line 19:
* ''Aztec Adventure'' becomes ''Nazca '88''.
* ''Power Strike'' becomes ''[[Aleste]]''.
* ''Super Wonder Boy: Monster World'', the Japanese version of ''[[Wonder Boy in Monster Land]]'', plays in English on a western SMS-- withSMS—with a slightly different translation from the Western release, no less. Even the title is slightly different (instead of ''Wonder Boy in Monster Land'', it becomes ''Super Wonder Boy: Monster Land'').
** Playing ''[[Wonder Boy III the Dragons Trap]]'' on a Japanese console will change the game's title to ''Monster World II'' and will enable FM sounds if an FM Sound Unit is installed. The text will still be in English though.
 
Line 34:
** ''Truxton'' becomes ''Tatsujin''.
* ''[[Mystic Defender]]'' may be one of the most extreme cases. This is really a ''[[Peacock King]]'' adaptation. Running it in Japanese mode changes the name of the main character to Kujaku, gives him a robe, makes fetus-like enemies flesh colored instead of green, gives the levels names, changes the effect of some of the magic, and uses a picture with the opening text, never seen if the game is played normally.
* Even some [[Fan Translation|Fan Translations]]s take advantage of this. Fan translations for ''King Colossus'' and ''Battle Mania 2'' are in Japanese or English depending on what kind of machine you are running them on.
* ''Dashin' Desperadoes'', when played on a Japanese [[Mega Drive]], changes the game's title ''Rumble Kids''. The curious thing about this is that ''Rumble Kids'' was never actually released in Japan.

* Switches existed for this system, but this always affected region lockout--alockout—a game could never run in two regions, so couldn't have different behavior depending on region. However, the Japanese game ''[[Terra Diver|Soukyugurentai]]'' had a glitchy, partial, language change which took effect if you set the country to US ''and'' used a [[Game Genie]] to prevent this from causing the region lockout that it normally does.
