List of regional version differences (SSB4)

This article or section may require a cleanup. The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason: Which kinds of translation should be considered regional adaptions, rather than simply translations? You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

This article lists differences between the NTSC and PAL versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. As with Brawl and unlike in Melee, these differences are largely aesthetic due to online play between regions.

In-game text

There are two different English translations of the game, one for the NTSC version and one for the PAL version. These translations are much more distinct than in Brawl, although they share a number of elements. Aside from name differences (as seen below), many trophy descriptions, Boxing Ring titles, and other pieces of text are also different; articles on this wiki display both English translations if applicable. Similar differences apply for the French and Spanish languages, which also have two separate translations.

Voice actors

The only voice difference between the NTSC and PAL English versions applies to Wii Fit Trainer, who is voiced with an American accent in the former and with a British accent by different actors in the latter. Additionally, Lucario, Wii Fit Trainer, and Sonic are voiced in the respective language in French, Spanish, German and Italian. Greninja and Jigglypuff, who have different names in French and German, also have different voices in their respective languages (while Charizard also has different names in French and German, it doesn't speak or say its name and is therefore left undubbed; similarly, Mewtwo's Japanese dialogue is removed entirely in all Western versions). Both French versions share voice actors between these characters as well as the announcer, with the main difference audio-wise being the announcer's name calls and pronunciations, to account for name differences between the two French versions as well as differing European and Canadian pronunciations for certain names (for example, the pronunciation of Bowser's name in the NTSC French version is slightly closer to its pronunciation in English). The Spanish versions share the same announcer and the voices for Lucario and Sonic in the same way as the French versions, but the NTSC version gives Wii Fit Trainer its Latin American voice actors. The NTSC version of the game also lacks the Portuguese translation completely.

1. Called "Selva Kongo (64)" and "Jungla Kong (64)" in the Tips.
2. "Templo" (Temple) was first misnamed "La Cúspide" (Summit) in the Spanish 50-Fact Extravaganza. While it seemed at the time as an oversight of the video's translation team, the erroneous name was kept in the final version. The stage has been called "Templo" in the PAL Melee and Brawl releases, just like in SSB4's NTSC version.

Oddly enough, Charizard's, Jigglypuff's and Greninja's French names are not shown on the North American packaging for their amiibo, even though North American packaging typically displays the NTSC French and Spanish names for the character if they differ from the English name.

Notes:

1. Similar to the difference between its English and Japanese pronunciations, "Dedede" is pronounced "day-DAY-day" in the PAL version and "day-day-DAY" in the NTSC version.
2. Male and female variants have different names in certain languages. The first names listed are, respectively, male Villager and female Wii Fit Trainer's name, followed by their opposite gender variant.
3. These translate to "Fighters", not "Fighter".
4. Called with this name in the Super Smash Bros. - Final Video Presentation of December 15th, 2015.
