Other ports were published for the japanese computer Fujitsu Micro 7 / FM-7 in 1987 and the BREW mobile OS in 2004 but unfortunately we couldn't find these games and add them to the video. Several recent re-releases have been purposely discluded as they are pure emulation of ports already present in the video.

In 2008, Capcom developed at least two versions with the Java Platform, Micro Edition framework in order to support different mobile screen sizes. They are nearly identical in terms of gameplay but have very different sprites. You will see that the first version featured in the video has lower resolution graphics thant the second.

The Android and iOS version has two game modes: classic and casual. The casual mode is easier than the classic and features double jump. You will find gameplay of both modes in the video.
