Differences between versionsEdit

  • Donkey Kong has been replaced with a yeti creature. While Mario and Pauline look the same in the game, the art on the cabinet itself depicts them differently.
  • The art on the machine depicts the Pauline replacement's head to be in a circle shouting "HELP ME" to the Mario replacement who is chasing the yeti.
  • In concept art, the publisher is shown to be "Illumitendo," a portmanteau of "Illumination" and "Nintendo."
