However, all versions of the game on the Wii U Virtual Console support all the e-Reader levels by default including levels formerly exclusive to Japan. Other missing cards include various Switch Cards and Boomerangs. Therefore, there are over twenty levels that remain unavailable to non-Japanese players.

Roughly only one third of the cards that were released in Japan were released elsewhere.

This deducted a power-up from the pack.Īll North American cards (excluding promotional cards) were released in Series 1 in Japan. In both series, however, an extra level was included if the pack contained a classic level. In Series 2, it went two levels, two demos, one power-up. In Series 1, it went one level, one demo, three power-ups. The cards had a uniformity to their arrangement within the packs, though it changed between Series 1 and 2. Instead of each pack containing every card for that series, the cards were released in a format similar to trading cards, where each pack had five random cards. In Japan, while most cards were still released within two series, things worked differently. While most copies only came with two cards, copies purchased at Wal-Mart early on came with an additional five cards. However, a few cards were included with brand new copies of the game. The majority of the cards were released in two series (sets) of cards.
