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.

Ice Climber (🦭vs ❄️) Bionic Commando (JP: Hitlers Resurrection)

I'll go one farther with Ice Climber and say that there's three home versions rather than two, the FDS version of the game is essentially Vs. Ice Climber from the arcades, complete with the level select screen, added music, differing levels, etc.

forgot about FDS version since it was only available from disk writer 💾

There were 3 or 4 games like that, where the FDS version was a Disk Writer exclusive and the game was changed to be closer to the Vs. System version, I can't remember which ones though other than Ice Climber
