There have been some variations in the USA, but the king of variations is japan. Hell, they have a lot of variations, of the gba, and the sp. The most memorable ones of the normal, were the black king of fighters, and the silver/gold ones. Of the sp, there are even more memorable ones, but instead of describing them, take a look for yourself.
