There are many differences between the Japanese and North American releases of Super Smash Bros., which are listed on this page. Unlike Melee or Brawl however, the regional differences are much more significant, often resulting in considerable differences in matchups between characters.
JPN to NTSC changes
General
- Smash DI is much more useful allowing the defender to get out of combos much easier and making it so most drills are useless.
- More freeze frames for attacker
- Altered, less realistic sound effects
- Boomerang given an altered sound to sound less like a light saber, presumably to prevent copyright infringement.
- Jigglypuff is called Purin
- FFA is called Battle Royal (not Royale)
- Title announcement is 'Dairantou Smash Brothers' and has a duller logo
Donkey Kong
- Loses a Japan-only Momentum Slide.
DK is considered to be the same in the Japanese version of smash 64 as the changes to DI do not affect DK as much as other characters.
Samus
- Up-smash only hits two times while grounded instead of one
Samus is considered to be the same to slightly better in the Japanese version due to a more more useful Up B due to less DI.
Captain Falcon
- Runs slightly faster.
- Shorter jumps.
- Forward tilt deals 1% less damage.
- Falcon Dive covers less distance.
Falcon is considered to be better in the Japanese version due to having a much more useful recovery and due to a better short hop due to his better jump height. Falcon has a better matchup vs. one of his only weaknesses, Fox, in the Japanese version along with a positive matchup with Jigglypuff but a tradeoff in a worse matchup vs. Kirby
Fox
- Loses a Japan-only Momentum Slide.
- Down tilt deals 2% more damage.
- Down smash has a horizontal knockback angle instead of a vertical knockback angle, making it worse for combos but better at edgehogging.
- Blaster deals 1% more damage and has less knockback.
- Fire Fox deals 3% more damage, but has far less knockback and does not have invincibility frames.
- Reflector has a different projectile damage multiplier but deals less knockback and at a less downward angle making shine spikes much harder.
Fox is considered to be better in the Japanese version of SSB due to having a much better recovery and due to Fox's down air becoming an easy combo move without the presence of heavy Smash DI regardless of the less useful shine.
Jigglypuff
- Loses a Japan-only Momentum Slide.
- Down smash has more range on both sides.
- Rest does 6% more damage.
Jigglypuff is considered to be half a tier to a a tier worse in the Japanese version due to the much worse Rest and its susceptibility to even earlier deaths as drills combo Jigglypuff easier.
Kirby
- Loses a Japan-only Momentum Slide.
- Up smash and down smash both deal 2% less dam
- Thunder Jolt covers less distance.
Pikachu is considered to be slightly worse in the Japanese version due to a less useful f-smash and due to being more susceptible to kills as it is more difficult to Up B out of combos due to higher hitstun.
Yoshi
- Slightly smaller first jump.
- Faster air speed.
- Down smash does 1% more damage.
- Loses a Japan-only Momentum Slide.
Yoshi is considered to be sightly better in the Japanese version due to a much more useful d-air due to less Smash DI and a slightly better short hop.
NTSC to PAL (AUS) changes
General
- Kirby's Fun Pak referred to as Kirby's FAN PAK
- Star Fox referred to as STARWING
- Star Fox 64 referred to as LYLATWARS
