In a similar case to Contra/Probotector, there was Warlands: 1941, originally a top-down shooter about two dudes on a mission to assassinate a Hitler knockoff, with a sudden twist at the end.

In PAL regions, Warlands: 1941 was turned into Steel Defenders 2041, with all the humans (both player characters and enemies alike) changed into robots, and the story altered into that of a futuristic settings. This had the unfortunate side effect of softening the impact of the twist at the end.

The same thing happened with the sequel, Warlands II: The Path to Victory, which was altered into Steel Defenders II: Robot Rampage, but not with Warlands III, which evaded censorship by... not being released in the PAL region at all.
