== Gameplay ==

:* In the [[Home-Run Contest]], the track ends at 4990.0 ft.(1521m), and if [[Sandbag]] isn’t already on the track when the players strikes it with the final attack and it goes over 4556.9 ft.(1389m), it will result in No Distance. In the Japanese version, it will start to say No Distance from about 890 meters.

===Version 1.1===

===Version 1.2===

* '''PAL – All changes in 1.2 are present, but there are many more changes.'''

:* The 'Special Movie' was removed, as was the [[Archives]] section in the [[Data]] menu.

:* In the Home-Run Contest, the platform is longer and the invisible backwall is a bit farther.

:* The Tamagon trophy has been completely removed from the game.

|Mewtwo||MEWTWO||Mewtu

|Jigglypuff||RONDOUDOU||Pummeluff

|Pikachu||PIKACHU||Pikachu

When selecting Jigglypuff in German or French, its name is said by another announcer.

In addition, "DK" is displayed as "D. KONG" on the Japanese character selection screen.

*The Japanese discs also have three different known versions, although there are some aesthetic differences exclusive to the Japanese release. This includes graphical changes such as the title screen, certain videos, seal [[Topi|Toppis]] rather than yeti, and some references to Perfect Dark (such as the [[Motion-Sensor Bomb|Proximity Mine]] design). In addition, the language is set to Japanese on default with only minor alterations in the English setting's text, and the Tamagon Trophy was originally available in-game.

*In the French versions of both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Pokémon names are in all caps, as well as being changed. In the PAL version of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the names of the Pokémon are in all caps in all languages.
