I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find anything.
So I got a boxed Kaboom in the mail today, and looking at the rarity guides Box image I see that my box says International Edition.
Does anyone have any info on why? Is it common?

It's a pal game from England if that helps.

Thanks a bunch,
- Robbie

Robbie,

Just like you said, this is most probably the PAL version of Kaboom!, hence the text International Edition.

However, it could be that your cart carries a N sticker.

In that case, it's a NTSC version from Canada:

Also, could you check the serial number on the cart?

Is it EAG-010 or PAG-010?

PAG-010. So it's the pall version then? No biggie :P I was just wondering since the PAL cover on the rarity guide didn't have the international title :)

The AA rarity guide is mainly focused on NTSC titles.

Here are all the different versions known to exist (including the very rare CAX-010 version):
