The Japanese title screen also has a high score display and the "N" in "© KONAMI" is slightly thicker. The logo in the Japanese version seems almost identical to the one used for the first NES game at first glance, but it actually has some slight differences. As a result, the Japanese version is simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles without any numeral or subtitle. Unlike the first NES game, Konami decided to keep the franchise's actual English title for the Japanese release of this game.
