There are currently four versions of Dragon Warrior III: NES, GBC, SNES, and Mobile. All four have different graphics, though the Mobile version used the SNES version as its foundation. The ports have exclusive features. Various class, item, and enemy names differ between all four versions. The maps of buildings and dungeons vary in graphics and minor layout changes (e.g. how long a hallway is). All staircases, doorways, etc. are located in the same areas.
