List of regional version differences (SSBM): Difference between revisions

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y}}

There are many differences between the [[NTSC]] versions and [[PAL]] version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which are listed here.

|}

===Version 1.0===

:* All glitches exist, including one that can overwrite [[Multi-Man Melee]] scores.

::* If the player plays as one of the clone characters, lower scores can overwrite higher ones, and if the player plays a clone and then a regular character, the score can duplicate itself on other characters.

:* In the [[Home-Run Contest]], the track ends at 1521.0 m (4990.0 ft), and if [[Sandbag]] isn’t already on the track when the player strikes it with the final attack and it goes over 1389.0 m (4556.9 ft), it will result in No Distance. In the Japanese version, it will start to say No Distance from about 890.0 m (2920.0 ft).

===Version 1.01===

:* The [[turnip glitch]] can no longer be performed.

:* The shadow glitch can no longer be performed.

===Version 1.02===

:* The progressive scan query shown during the booting of the game if B is held is replaced by a 60 Hz query, which lets the player select between [[PAL50]] (576i50) and PAL60 (480i60).

:* The "Special Movie" was removed, as was the [[Archives]] section in the [[Data]] menu (But has data replaced by {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s Congratulations cinematic). A dedicated menu selection for the {{SSBM|How to Play}} video replaces the Archives submenu.

:* Player markers now follow the character's position perfectly, instead of lagging by one frame.

:* Player markers are not shown above [[Star KO]]'d characters or elsewhere after getting KO'd.

:* In the main menu, when going to the next screen and then switching to a different entry too quickly, the game now shows the correct information at the bottom of the screen.

==Stage names==

All stages' names are the same in English and Italian. Stages not mentioned have the same name in all languages.

*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.

*In the French versions of both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Pokémon names are in all caps, referencing how Pokémon names before Generation V are formatted, as well as being changed. In the PAL version of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the names of the Pokémon are in all caps in all languages.
