After the failed attempt to bring the game to the west by reworking it to be the part of Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Sega CD version of the game was localized by Working Designs and released in North America in late 1994. Most versions of Popful Mail are for the most part similar to each other, but the Super Famicom and Sega CD versions differ significantly both from each other and from the previous releases.
