Trivia / Wrath of the Black Manta

• Dummied Out: A lot of content was changed between releases.
  • The first boss, Tiny, not only had a design change, but had a punch attack in the original.
  • The artwork in-game was changed to be more realistic in the overseas release.
  • The original game's second stage was removed, its boss (several ninja) being transplanted to replace stage three's missing boss (a floating eyeball).
  • A boss that looked to be made of electricity was redesigned to be the overseas boss "Voodoo Warrior".
  • The music in the game was changed from the original to the international release.
  • The main character's jumping sprites were also altered.
  • The final boss had some alterations as well. In Ninja Cop, you had to first battle a ship dropping mooks, and then came the final boss, whom was an alien in disguise. In Black Manta, he was instead named El Toro, and you needed to use four specific Ninja Arts to defeat him without accidentally hitting his hostage, Taro.
