=United States - Subtitled VHS Tapes - 1999=
In addition to the English Dubbed VHS release, a set of English subtitled VHS tapes with original Japanese audio were also released in the United States.
There were a number of changes from the dubbed VHS tapes that made the subtitled variant unique:
* The subtitled VHS tapes use a red mark on the spine of the tape's sleeve to note that the tapes are the subtitled variant.
* The catalog number of each tape (for example, PIVA-2231S) will end in "S" for Subtitled, rather than "D" for Dubbed.
* The subtitled VHS tapes were more expensive than the dubbed variants, with an MSRP of $29.98 per tape.
These differences have been marked in bold in the table below, to make them easier to visually parse.
