Description
The original Arcade version. There are regional differences between the Japanese and US/European versions. The Japanese release includes a secret comic ending which is absent from other regional releases if you beat the game with 1CC.

The biggest change is in the US/European releases, where the order of first 3 levels are changed. Instead of Stage 1, 2, and 3 being The Atlantic, Sea Base, and Fortified Zone in the Japanese release, the US/European versions have Stage 1, 2 and 3 as Sea Base, Fortified Zone, The Atlantic. The remaining levels remain the same order. This was likely done to make the game more profitable in those markets due to the difficulty spike. These releases also feature new graphics at the start of the Stages, and small gameplay modifications.

Despite the change in level orders, the soundtrack is unchanged, and as such all regions remain technically musically identical to one another.
