*Oddly, the NTSC French version of ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' features several minor inconsistencies on the pronunciation of character names. For example, "[[Ice Climbers]]", "[[Roy]]", "[[Toon Link|Link Cartoon]]", "[[Robin]]", "[[Koopalings#Larry Koopa|Larry]]", "[[Koopalings#Roy Koopa|Roy]]", "[[Koopalings#Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]" and "[[Ryu]]" are pronounced with an "R" which is more akin to the English R, while most other characters (even "[[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]]", with the former referred to as "Harmonie" in the PAL version) are pronounced with a typical "{{s|wikipedia|guttural R}}" in Parisian French, which is prominently used in the PAL version. | *Oddly, the NTSC French version of ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' features several minor inconsistencies on the pronunciation of character names.

**[[Corrin]] is a rare case in that they have different pronunciations between regions in the French translation of ''Smash 4'', but use the same pronunciation as ''Smash 4''{{'}}s PAL version in ''Ultimate'' for both regions, albeit re-recorded. | **[[Corrin]] is a rare case in that they have different pronunciations between regions in the French translation of ''Smash 4'', but use the same pronunciation as ''Smash 4''{{'}}s PAL version in ''Ultimate'' for both regions, albeit re-recorded. | ||
