Changes To The US Version
Some levels from Story Mode were taken out of the American version, and a few were given different winning objectives. Some cutscenes in the GC version play no music at all, while (almost) all cutscenes play music in the PS2 version.
There are a few cosmetic changes to the HUD as well. The icons of the mamodo in the English version are removed, the indicators merely showing the character names instead. Also, in the Japanese version in Story Mode, character reactions are visible in both up-right and down-left screens. However, in the U.S. version, they don't appear, although some of the dialogue remains.
Since both the PlayStation 2 & GameCube have different graphic rendering, there are many differences between the lighting, rendering and textures on both versions.
There are some graphic problems with the exclusive U.S. GameCube version of the game.
- In the GameCube version, the stage "Front of Windmill" has a black background instead of a sky background. This might be because the sky texture on that stage was either corupted or missing.
- The frame-rate in the GameCube version sometimes drops, usually when you and/or the camera is too close to the spell's graphics. It also happens on 2P mode in the stage "Roof of Abandoned Building". It happens if you just stand at your starting position, and the camera is pointing not only at the back of you, but inside the outside scenery as well.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
