'''Phase Alternate Line''', often referred to as '''PAL''', was an analogue television encoding system used in Europe, Australia, Africa and parts of South America. While it has been made obsolete by the use of digital component encoding, the term survives as a colloquial reference to the version of games and other televisual media released in the former PAL regions, particularly Europe and Australia. | |||

Both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' were released in the NTSC regions of Japan and North America prior to PAL regions; in this "gap" between releases, both games were modified slightly in order to both adjust them for regional reasons, such as changing languages or information relating to release dates, or gameplay fixes, such as fixing [[glitch]]es or changing properties of specific attacks. | |||
