* BloodlessCarnage: Several of Reika's deaths like being hurled into a whirling propeller or eaten by a shark ''should'' be gory, but are done as cartoon slapstick instead.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The U.S. SegaCD version had the year 666 changed to 999. It also changed the text for a Time Stop option in 1941; the original version had "Pray to God". The U.S. version changed it to "Hope for luck". What's more, if this option is selected, Reika actually starts praying in the Japanese version, while the American version has her say, "Please help!" She turns into an angel in both versions, though.

** Finally, there's a death scene in 2001 where a thug slices the back of her top in half. Same deal as the 66,000,000 scene. On the other hand, she does lose her gun along with her undies, and presumably she loses her time gizmo thingy along with her top, so that would make further progress impossible.

The [[ExcusePlot "plot"]] revolves around a time bandit named Luda ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused with rapper Ludacris]]) going through different time periods in order to make himself leader of the world in his own time. Another time traveler, 16-year-old Reika Kirishima, aka Time Gal, is out to stop him. [[AllThereInTheManual There is no hint of this in the actual game, however.]] Besides the last part, anyway.
