Unlike many other fighters, Pocket Fighter has a relatively simple control scheme. In Pocket Fighter, only a punch, kick and "special" button is used, which in turn makes the game much easier and accessible to beginners. Another feature that is not included in other fighters, is the use of gems to control what special moves your character can do. These gems are dropped when you hit an opponent or a treasure chest.

The more gems you collect of one color, the more powerful the special move is that relates to that color. In relation to other series that Capcom produced, each character keeps his/her own special move. Another unique feature of Pocket fighter, is the addition of power-ups, you can collect food to decrease damage on the health bar, as well as collect "orbs" that have some special function, such as a bomb that can be thrown, or turn the player into ice.

The Western versions, aside from having a completely different name, also use a slightly different logo when compared to the Japanese version. It adds Chun-Li's bracelet (which made the "O" in "Pocket") and Felicia's pawprint (which was the pattern in the "K") to the background in order to keep the symbols of all 10 starting characters, and the Japanese name of the game on the piece of paper was changed to "Mini Mix". The copyright text at the bottom is also different in the US version, but remains unchanged in European versions.

The Announcer's voice clips were also changed to reflect the game's name change.

The US release includes an Advisory Warning before the Attract Demos but the Japanese and European releases remove it.

In the US version, an Advisory Warning was shown just before the Gameplay Attract Demos. The Japanese and European versions don't have this.

In addition, the gameplay Attract Demos play out much differently between the Japanese/European and US versions.

Just like the title screen, the region's appropriate logo is used on the loading screens. Before a battle, its background is blue, after a battle its background is red.

As in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Lei-Lei and Gouki's names were changed to Hsien-Ko and Akuma respectively, and Tabasa's name is changed to Tessa in the Western versions, which is consistent with her prior appearance in Red Earth. The Announcer's voice clips were also changed to reflect this.

In the Japanese version, all fighters have 12 additional Win Quotes, which will be different depending on the opponent who had lost the match to it. They were never translated for the Western version, which makes them all go unused.
