Topi: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

In ''Melee'', they can come out of [[container item]]s.

Like ''Ice Climber'' itself, Topis have differing appearances between the Japanese release of ''Melee'' and its later, international releases. In the original Japanese release, they resemble the ~~blue seals~~ of the Japanese version of ''Ice Climber'', but they are instead the white, yeti-like creatures in international versions. The two versions function identically, and uniquely, the blue ~~seals~~ do not appear in the North American version even when the language is set to Japanese. The change was presumably due to controversy over seal hunting, though it is also possible that the change was merely to preserve the continuity of the Topis' appearances between regions.
