Jigglypuff's German and French selection announcements come from ''Pokémon Stadium 2'', while the other three's are the same as ''Melee''{{'}}s English version. Jigglypuff's crowd cheer in the German and French versions does not include its name; the crowd says "Go! Go!" and claps three times.
==Voices==
 
*The Italian and Spanish versions use all the same voice tracks used in the English version.
The Japanese version has different romanized names and announcer calls for some characters: [[Wikipedia:Bowser (character)|Bowser is "Koopa"]], [[Wikipedia:Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff is "Purin"]], [[Wikipedia:Ice Climber|Ice Climbers is "Ice Climber"]], and "DK" is written as "D.KONG". The "Donkey Kong" [[announcer]] call is the same in all languages.
*The Japanese version has some different [[announcer]] calls. This includes character names: Bowser is "Koopa", Jigglypuff is "Purin", and Ice Climbers is "Ice Climber".
*Jigglypuff has unique selection announcements in German and French to reflect its different names; the announcer calls come from ''Pokémon Stadium 2''. Jigglypuff also has a unique crowd cheer in the German and French versions; the crowd says "Go! Go!" and claps three times.
*Sheik and Mewtwo's Japanese dialogue is absent from the non-Japanese versions.
*Fox and Falco have different spoken dialogue in Japanese and English, while Peppy and Slippy are fully dubbed in both languages.
*Jigglypuff is fully dubbed in Japanese, English, German, and French. The chart below shows all the voiced [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon and if their voice clips are different from the Japanese version's:

*The Japanese discs also have three different known versions, although there are some aesthetic differences exclusive to the Japanese release. This includes graphical changes such as the title screen, certain videos, seal [[Topi|Topis]] rather than yeti, and some references to Perfect Dark (such as the [[Motion-Sensor Bomb|Proximity Mine]] design). In addition, the language is set to Japanese on default with only minor alterations in the English setting's text, and the Tamagon Trophy was originally available in-game. Switching languages between English and Japanese will not affect these changes.
