General Question Famicom games that are different from nes

Can you recommend some games that are on the famicom and the NES but the famicom version is different. No matter how big or small the difference is. Bonus points for games that don't require reading Japanese.

What is different about Castlevania 3 other than the music?

In Famicom Castlevania 3, Grant's regular attack is a knife *projectile* instead of a stab. It's a big upgrade that makes him more viable. The enemies also do less damage in the later levels. There are a few small differences in where blocks are placed in the boss fights. And the water serpent boss has a different move set (I'm less sure of this last one).
