Compared to the retail release, it has several changes:

1) Complete absence of all side-scrolling stages. Instead of ending with boarding a space station or battleship stages simply end once all enemies have been destroyed.

2) Only TITANS mecha appear as enemy units. The game also has a different intro to reflect the absence of Neo-Zeon mecha.

3) A more complicated UI that has an enemy radar

4) Enemies on ground maps are more aggressive and attack in greater number, but there are no items on the ground nor do ground maps transition into space maps.

TRIVIA

Often referred as Hot Scramble Final Version, the original version of Hot Scramble contained only the first-person shooting segments, but this version performed poorly in playtesting, leading to significant revision for the retail release. It was then given a limited production run of 1,000 copies, released as part of a contest from Bandai.
