List of regional version differences (SSBM)

This is a list that covers differences between the SSBM PAL and NTSC versions.

Gameplay

• Version 1.0

     – All glitches exist, including one that can overwrite MMM scores.
     - If you play one of the clone characters, lower scores can overwrite higher ones,
       and if you play a clone then a regular character, the score can duplicate itself
       on other characters.
     - Bowser can Flame Cancel by landing during the ending animation of the Fire Breath
     - In HRC, the track ends at 4990.0 ft., and if the bag isn’t already on the track
     - when you strike it with the final attack and it goes over 4556.9 ft., it will say      
       No Distance.

• Version 1.1

     – This is similar to 1.0, but Bowser can’t Flame Cancel and it is easier to DI out
       of rapid hit attacks such as Pichu’s forward-smash.
     - Home Run Contest track was changed to 4990 m. long, but the bag can’t land
       anywhere past 11347.2 ft.
     - The Shadow Glitch was removed.

• Version 1.2

     – The MMM glitch was fixed and the Superjump Glitch was removed
     - The announcer now says “A New Record” in Multi-Man Melee
     - Many glitches were fixed.

• PAL – All changes in 1.2 are present in PAL, but there are many more changes:

     - Fox's shine knocks Marth over in PAL (instead of just pushing him a little bit).
     - Bowser, Kirby, and Yoshi are all heavier in PAL.
     - Marth, Fox, and Mario are all lighter in PAL.
     - Falco's aerial down-A now only spikes for the first half of the animation. The
       rest sends the opponent slightly up.
     - Sheik's aerial up-A isn't as strong in PAL. In addition, it has one less frame of
       hitbox lag.
     - Marth's aerial down-A is a Meteor smash, not a spike in PAL.
     - Fox's down and forward-smashes are less powerful in PAL.

     - Peach's dash attack is less powerful in PAL.
