Mystic Defender (aka Kujaku Ou 2) is a sequel to the Master System game SpellCaster (aka Kujaku Ou). In Japan, it was based on an anime/manga series localized under the name Spirit Warrior (later Peacock King) - specifically, the 1989 film Castle of Illusion.

Revisional Differences

REV00 REV01

Alexandra, the "daughter of the supreme deity" you save at the end of the game, was completely nude in the original version of the game. She was given a pink dress in the revision. This change applies to both the English and Japanese versions stored on the cartridge.

Regional Differences

Several graphical changes were made when the game was released in the US and Europe. However, the original Japanese version is still present in the US/Europe version, and can be played by switching your console/emulator region setting to Japan.

The Korean version, Ondal Janggun, uses a mix of assets from both Kujaku Ou 2 and Mystic Defender along with its own unique graphical changes. (Note that the console's region setting must be set to Japan for the game to run properly.)

The title logo is different between all versions. The Korean version is styled after the Japanese version, while the English version is completely original.

Intro

The brief intro sequence was redone, replacing the character portraits with simple scrolling text. The Korean version uses the Japanese intro sequence, though the characters were slightly redesigned and their portraits redrawn.

星は復活を示しています。
あの第6天魔王 織田信長が……
孔雀にいってもらわなければ。

The star indicates to be revived.
That 6th heavenly demon king, Nobunaga Oda......
We have to ask Kujaku to go.

앗, 악마의 별이…
음, 북쪽의 검은 마왕이…
온달장군을 불러라.

Ah, the star of evil...
Umm, the black demon king from the north...
Call Ondal-janggun.

The creepy baby-like enemies in Stage 2 were also changed from flesh-colored to green.

As mentioned above, the girl at the end's sprite was redesigned between revisions. However, the girl wears a different kind of dress in the Korean version. The sprite appears to be based on the one used in the revision, sharing the same palette and some pixel placement.

Level Title Cards

The Korean version shows a tagline at the beginning of each level. All the other versions just show the level number.

축하합니다.
이것으로 게임은 끝났습니다.
온달장군이 되어
공주를 구하도록
도와준 것에
깊은 감사를 드립니다.
마왕의 야망은
물거품이 되고 마왕의 힘으로
되살아났던 괴물들은
다시 살아서 돌아올 수 없게
되었습니다.
우리는 『온달장군』을 끝마친
당신께 큰 찬사를 보내고,
이 게임의
개발에 힘써주신 여러분들께

Many thanks for
your having enabled
Ondal-janggun
to save the princess.
The demon's evil ambition
has been thwarted, and the monsters
revived by the demon's power
will never return to
life again.
We greatly appreciate
your playing "Ondal Janggun",
and assistance rendered by
all those persons
concerned in developing this game.

Credits

The character portrait during the staff roll was changed appropriately. Three staff members also changed their pseudonyms.

The Korean version omits the staff roll entirely, crediting only Samsung's "Game Boy" division (the Gam*Boy being Samsung's rebranded version of the Master System). The character portrait was redesigned yet again and was also cropped horizontally by 8 pixels on both sides, presumably to make room for the new graphics.
