List of regional version differences (SSBU)
This article lists differences between the many available versions of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Most differences are between the NTSC and PAL version, as well as a few differences specific to a particular region. As with Brawl and Smash 4, these differences are largely aesthetic due to requiring consistent gameplay for online play between regions. As the Nintendo Switch is not region-locked, all versions of Ultimate are stored on a single cartridge. These different versions can be accessed by changing the language in the game settings or changing the region in the system settings.
R.O.B. costumes[edit]
Like Super Smash Bros. 4, Costume 1 & 2 for R.O.B. are ordered different depending on game language to match regional history. If the language is set to Japanese, Chinese or Korean, the first costume will be the red and cream color scheme used in those regions, and the second costume is the gray color scheme used for international versions. These costumes are swapped for all other languages.
Victory animations[edit]

Palutena's first and second victory animation and Bayonetta's second victory animation each have two different versions: one for the Japanese and Chinese versions, and another for all other versions. The difference is their mouths are animated slightly different to avoid awkwardness caused by the mouths stopping early or continuing after the voice line had stopped.
In-game text[edit]
Unlike Smash 4, there are little differences between the two English translations of Ultimate. Boxing Ring names that differed are changed to remain identical, with several characters using their American English title, Mega Man using his British English title) and other characters using a completely different title entirely. Articles on this wiki display both English translations if applicable. Additionally, American English is used regardless of region; however, in the British English translation, British English is retained in News articles, as well as the marquee on the top-left of the main menu. The only real differences in in-game text are all games that have different names in PAL regions being changed accordingly, and "In His/Her/Their/Its Series" tips displaying European release dates.
The French and Spanish languages keep more changes between them, similar to Smash 4.
Voices[edit]
- The crowd cheers are fully dubbed in nine languages, with some exceptions (all pertaining to DLC fighters from the Fighters Pass Vol. 2): Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Dutch, and Russian.
- The announcer is fully dubbed in six languages: German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian, but has shared voice clips in the English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions. While both Chinese versions keep the announcer clips used in the Japanese version (except King Dedede, where the English clip is used in the Simplified Chinese version), some announcer clips have been changed in the Korean version (such as for Villager). The French and Spanish versions have regionally different names, terminology and pronunciations (for example, Rosalina is named "Rosalina" in Canadian French but is named "Harmonie" in European French, as she is in those translations for Mario games).
- With the exception of the announcer and crowd chants, the Dutch and Russian versions use the voice tracks from the English version.
- The Korean and Chinese versions use all the voice tracks from the Japanese version, with some exceptions: most Metal Gear characters, Ryu, Ken, and Zero are voiced in English in the Chinese and Korean versions, Gray Fox and Guile are voiced in English in just the Chinese version, and Simon, Richter, and Alucard are voiced in English in just the Korean version.
- The Wii Fit Trainers are fully voiced in eight languages: Japanese, American English, British English, German, French, Italian, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.
- Lucario, the Pokémon Trainers, Shadow, and Knuckles are fully dubbed in six languages: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. While this is mostly the case for Sonic, a few of his voice clips are shared across all the non-Japanese versions.
- Jigglypuff, Greninja, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Incineroar are fully dubbed in four languages: Japanese, English, German, and French. The Italian and Spanish versions use their English voice tracks.
- While most of Kirby's voice clips in the English version are shared with the Japanese version, he has dubbed English clips for when he copies Palutena (Autoreticle), Robin (Thunder), Shulk (Monado Arts), Byleth (Failnaught), Pyra (Flame Nova), Mythra (Lightning Buster), and Sora (Magic).
- Mewtwo and the Heroes' Japanese dialogue can only be heard in the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions. Generic grunts play in their place in other versions.
- This also applies to Kirby when he copies Hero (Frizz / Frizzle / Kafrizz).
- Bayonetta's English voice track is available in the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions if her Witch With No Memories costumes are used. Because of this, she has two entries in Ultimate's Sounds.
- The chart below shows all the voiced Poké Ball and Saffron City Pokémon, and if their voice clips are different from the Japanese versions. The Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Russian versions use the English voice clips for all of the listed Pokémon, while the Chinese and Korean versions use Japanese voice clips for all of the Pokémon underneath.
