List of regional version differences (SSBM)

This is a list that covers differences between the SSBM PAL and NTSC versions.

Gameplay

• Version 1.0

     – All glitches exist, including one that can overwrite MMM scores.
     - If you play one of the clone characters, lower scores can overwrite higher ones, and if you play a clone then a regular character, the score can duplicate itself on other characters.
     - Bowser can Flame Cancel by landing during the ending animation of the Fire Breath
     - In HRC, the track ends at 4990.0 ft., and if the bag isn’t already on the track when you strike it with the final attack and it goes over 4556.9 ft., it will say No Distance.

• Version 1.1

     – This is similtar to 1.0, but Bowser can’t Flame Cancel and it is easier to DI out of rapid hit attacks such as Pichu’s forward-smash.
     - Home Run Contest track was changed to 4990 m. long, but the bag can’t land anywhere past 11347.2 ft.

• Version 1.2

     – The MMM glitch was fixed and the Superjump Glitch was removed
     - The announcer now says “A New Record” in Multi-Man Melee
     - Many glitches were fixed.

• PAL – All changes in 1.2 are present in PAL, but there are many more changes:
