This article lists the differences between the NTSC version and PAL version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Unlike previous games in the series, there are no gameplay differences and all regional differences in Brawl are purely aesthetic, to keep WiFi play between the different regions compatible.
Examples[edit]
- In the NTSC version, stage names are in all capital letters, whereas in the PAL version, they are not. For example, the NTSC version's stage select screen depicts Delfino Plaza as "DELFINO PLAZA"; in the PAL version, it is shown as "Delfino Plaza".
- In the PAL version, the names of Pokémon are in all capital letters, as they are in their own core series of video games before Pokémon Black & White.
- The Nintendo Chronicle in the NTSC version lists games up to "December 2007". In the PAL version, it goes up to "14 March 2008".
- All games that have different names in PAL regions have been changed accordingly. For example, the song entitled "Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day" is now called "Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old is Your Brain?". All references to "Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast" are now "Donkey Kong: Jet Race", all references to "Kirby Squeak Squad" have been altered to "Kirby Mouse Attack", and all references to "Star Fox" and "Star Fox 64" have been changed to "Starwing" and "Lylat Wars", along with many other changes.
- The WarioWare, Inc. series uses a more simple title for the WarioWare series in PAL versions of Brawl. However, the stage WarioWare, Inc. retains the same name in all regions.
- On the Wi-Fi character select screen, the Item and Stage buttons instead read the pluralised words Items and Stages.
- In NTSC versions, the menu icon for the Deflicker is a capital D amongst straight lines, but in PAL versions, the D is replaced with a circle.
- The track entitled "The Roost" for Smashville has been changed to "Brewster's Roost" in PAL.
- Several errors in trophy descriptions have been corrected. For example:
- The NTSC trophy description of Lyn lists her age as 15, while the PAL version lists her age as 18. In the Japanese version of Fire Emblem, Lyn was 15, but her age was changed to 18 for western versions.
- In Lucas' trophy description, "Tazumili" was changed to "Tazmily", the official English name used in EarthBound 64's production.
- In the NTSC version, the Baby Mario trophy claims that "he lacks overalls," even though the trophy depicts him wearing them. The PAL version changes the description to read, "Even then he wore overalls," matching the trophy.
- The Black Knight's trophy description changes the name of his sword from Ettard to Alondite, as it is known in western versions of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
- Unlike the NTSC release, the PAL version of the Negative Zone trophy mentions nothing about Luigi embracing the dark side in his brother's shadow — it instead states "...in contrast to the oddness of the dance, it is a very powerful Final Smash".
- The trophy descriptions for characters from Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast differ between regions; the NTSC version focuses on their in-game performance, while the PAL version focuses on their personalities.
- The Challenges section in the NTSC version has several challenges whose criteria cannot be bypassed with a Golden Hammer. The PAL version has no such restrictions.
- In the Home-Run Contest, the length counter is measured in "metres" instead of "feet".
- There are overall fewer imperfections in the PAL version due largely in part to the game's protracted delay, resulting in more time to fix said defects.
- In the PAL version, the color of the magnifying glass for CPUs on either the blue or green team are grayish blue and grayish green respectively instead of grayish red.
- Exclusively to the PAL version, there is a skip that can be performed in The Wilds 2 in The Subspace Emissary that allows the player to skip the very first room's autoscroller with Kirby (which can be done on any version of the game), attack the buttons and then run to the end of the screen, using a SD strat, and spawn out the other side after the floating platform. This all skips 2 locked fights and the autoscroller completely.
Character names[edit]
Characters not mentioned have the same name in all languages. Note that the Pokémon names being fully capitalized is how they were written in the main series games before Generation V.

- ^ 디디디 대왕 is a translation of his full Japanese title of デデデ大王.
- ^ The announcer pronounces it "Poh-keh-mahn", as opposed to "Poh-kuh-mahn", which is how he pronounces it in the English version.
- ^ Though the name is the same as in other languages except Japanese, the Korean announcer pronounces the letters individually, rather than pronouncing it like the name "Rob".
Damage meter differences[edit]
In Japanese releases, the names of some characters in the damage meter differ from how they are shown on the character selection screen. These differences include removing part of the character's name to removing spaces in the name.
