RISTAR REGIONAL DIFFERENCES ⭐ Japan vs West

Ristar and most of the enemies were altered in the West to appear more "angry". The reasoning behind this is not known, though many games of the era (e.g. Kirby) received similar treatment. As you can see, Ristar's default stance is more cheerful in the Japanese game!
