The ''Nintendo DS'' remake of Shiren 1 contains numerous differences from the ''{{Meta|Super Famicom}}'' release of {{GameTitle|Shiren1SFC|l|i}}.

==Major and Minor Changes==
===Monster===
====Monster Spawn Locations====
* Monsters have different spawn locations between the original SFC and DS releases of the game.

====Bosses====
* The {{Shiren1DS|Tainted Insect}} offers 9,999 experience points, up from 7,777.

====Levels====
* The DS remake added a fourth level on most {{Shiren1DS|Monster}}s as in the original game, {{Shiren1SFC|monster}}s only had three levels.
** Only a selected few families such as the {{Shiren1DS|Fluffy Bunny}} remains with one level.
** A fourth monster was also added to the {{Shiren1DS|Popster Tank Family}}.

===Locations===
====Towns====
* Players could enter the empty room that becomes the Mountaintop Town jar shop in the original game. This was removed on the DS remake.

====Fay's Puzzles====
* All fifty of {{Shiren1DS|Fay's Puzzles}} are available from the start whereas before you can only do one puzzle per per adventure and cycle through when the player beats them all.

====Fay's Final Puzzle unlock requirements.====
* The player was required to beat the {{Shiren1DS|Kitchen God}} and {{Shiren1DS|Scroll Cave}} to unlock {{Shiren1DS|Fay's Final Puzzle}} in the Super Famicom release. In the DS remake, the player only needs to visit them once but is first required to meet Naoki on floor 25 and Gaibara on floor 15.

====Scroll Cave and Kitchen God====
* Shiren's stats were reverted back to default by entering them before. In the DS version, however, the player can retain his level for these dungeons as well as increase his maximum {{Shiren|Fullness}} and {{Shiren|Strength}}.
* In the original game, the player needs to complete the {{Shiren1SFC|Kitchen God}} if they met {{Shiren1SFC|Naoki the Wandering Chef}} at floor 25 and {{Shiren1SFC|Scroll Cave}} if he met {{Shiren1SFC|Gaibara the Legendary Potter}} at floor 15 to unlock {{Shiren1SFC|Fay's Final Puzzle}}{{UT}}. It was balanced so the player only need to visit both in the DS remake.
* Trap Multiplier
** For more information on how the trap multiplier works, see the dungeon page: {{Shiren1DS|Scroll Cave}}<sup>DS</sup>.

===Characters===
* In the SFC release, characters are not provoked when Shiren deals damage to them. They will not attack Shiren, and can still be talked to.
* Originally stationary characters in the SFC release cannot be bypassed by holding B, and do not move. While all characters will pursue Shiren when provoked in the DS release.

===Quets===

===Traps===
====Generated Spawns====

====Creation====
* As a {{Shiren1DS|Mecharoid Family}} or when stepping on a {{Shiren1DS|Multiplication Trap}}, the player can change the trap placement by repeatedly making new ones that overwrite the old in the SFC release. This feature was removed in the DS remake.
