*In the European version of the game, the colors of the buttons on the SNES controller were changed from purple to red, yellow, green, and blue to match the configuration of the European SNES controllers' button layout. However, the text wasn't altered in the game's tutorial, and thus still refers to the controller having purple buttons.
