List of regional version differences (SSBM): Difference between revisions

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y}}

There are many differences between the [[NTSC]] versions and [[PAL]] version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which are listed here.

::* If the player plays as one of the clone characters, lower scores can overwrite higher ones, and if the player plays a clone and then a regular character, the score can duplicate itself on other characters.

:* In the [[Home-Run Contest]], the track ends at 1521.0 m (4990.0 ft), and if [[Sandbag]] isn’t already on the track when the player strikes it with the final attack and it goes over 1389.0 m (4556.9 ft), it will result in No Distance. In the Japanese version, it will start to say No Distance from about 890.0 m (2920.0 ft).

===Version 1.01===

:* The [[turnip glitch]] can no longer be performed.

:* The shadow glitch can no longer be performed.

===Version 1.02===

:* The Multi-Man Melee glitch was fixed, the Superjump Glitch was removed, and many other glitches were corrected.

:* The announcer now says “A New Record” if a new record is achieved in Multi-Man Melee.

:* The game is now able to record and store negative scores in the single player modes; finishing with a negative score will count as 0 instead of the maximum of 999,999,999.

:* Many methods of freezing the games no longer cause freezing.

===KOR version===

:* Character stock icons shown at the bottom of the screen during a match, as well as target icons shown in [[Target Smash!#Target Test .28Super Smash Bros. Melee.29|Target Test]], are considerably smaller.

:* The progressive scan query shown during the booting of the game if B is held is replaced by a 60 Hz query, which lets the player select between [[PAL50]] (576i50) and PAL60 (480i60).

:* Inert hitboxes no longer disable article hitboxes
