* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: Though none of the actual artwork changes, the voiceacting between English and Japanese gives very large differences in tone of character. Examples include Japanese Thursday being a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|oddly-cute sounding robot]] (voiced by a woman) while English Thursday is an instant [[Badass]] (voiced by a man). It's then inverted when taking on the Alternate Overlord in Chapter 6 (''Afternoon of Darkness''); he sounds exactly the same from huge to small in Japanese; In English, he goes from a booming voice, to a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|multiple-helium-based voice.]] |
