Everything is off-spec except for Bonk in the top-right panel.  Ugh.

With the exception of Bonk's arms, yikes!

Awesome. I have a poor quality scan of this (I used it a few months ago...see below).

I'd love (the best quality) scan you have.

Yeah, the NA ideal of Bonk is kind of at odds to the aesthetics of the original.  Were the in-game sprites the same?

Not the glammed up Bonk after eating meat.

OMG!  The US didn't get the loveheart guy?  What about when he blows kisses or use the heart divebomb?  That must be a little odd in the TG16 games!

Well, instead of the girl Bonk, we got nuclear Bonk.  I never thought anything of it till years later.  Plus, I think nuclear Bonk has been used in other games since.  It's not unusual for companies to change the look of a character between US & Japan.  Both Crash Bandicoot, & Lara Croft had changes made when brought to Japan.  And then there's Kirby, who looks angry in his US art, as if he's a pink dude with an attitude!
