- In many versions, Chun-Li is seen to be wearing a thong under her dress. This was censored in the SNES version.
- In Japan, three boss characters' names are different, switched around to avoid legal troubles in the states. Balrog (the boxer) was originally M. Bison, Vega (Spanish fighter) was orignall Balrog, and M. Bison (Shadowlaw's leader) was called Vega. The names were switched because M. Bison's name and fighting style were considered too similar to real-life boxer Mike Tyson.
- Each character has a diffent ending cinematic sequence. However, Chun Li has two. When the game is beaten with her, the player is offered the choices of either going back to her quiet life or continue being a detective. Which ever one the player selects determines the end.
- Differences between Sega and Nintendo version:
- Nintendo has cleaner sound quality and Sega sounds more scratchy
- In the India level, the elephants in the background roar in the Sega version. In the Nintendo version they are silent.
- When Blanka gets K.O.'ed in the Nintendo version, he lets out a series of growls as he falls to the floor. In the Sega version, he sounds like a normal man.
- The music level of the game is mixed more softer in the Sega version as opposed to the Nintendo version.
- In the Nintendo version with the Japan level (with Ryu), there are two signs at the sides of the level with Japanese characters on them that can break when a fighter crashes into one of them. However, these signs do not appear in the Sega version. The continue timer (which shows up after a fighter has been beaten twice) has the announcer saying every number upon its countdown in the Nintendo version, The Sega version replaces the announcer's voice with a chime after every number. In the Sega version, the announcer says which country you are arriving to fight in after character selection. His voice is deleted however in the Nintendo version for when you are arriving in the country. One of Ryu's winning phrases is: "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance". This is for the Sega version, the Nintendo version has him saying an alternative; "You must defeat my Dragon Punch to stand a chance".
- The Sega version opening sequence has two men brawling in front of a crowd of people and a building, one man gets punched out and the image pans up the front of the building and the words "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior" appear. The Nintendo version opening has the words "Street Fighter II" appear on a black backround and spin a few times while being enlarged, two copies of the words "The World Warrior" appear on the sides and converge beneath the other half of the title.
