Regional Changes in Every Mario Game

[@ianmathwiz7]

Another difference in SMW is that if you clear all 96 exits in the Japanese version, the file will just display the number 96 (and if you clear additional exits using glitches, the counter can go even higher), but in the US version it displays a 96 with a star next to it, and the counter can't go any higher than 96.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

PAL makes the 96 blue

[@pingucraft95]

8:33 on the pal (german, in my case) Version, instead of "shine!" it goes even further into the italian theme, stating "Bravissimo!"

[@erechi]

the word "GALAXY" was copyrighted by 4 other companies and the courts determined "super mario galaxy" to be copyright infringement, leading to the name "super mario wii" with the subtitle "galaxy adventure"

[@wiintendo9609]

which leads to many questions about why they were ever allowed to copyright an already-existing word.

[@erechi]

@@wiintendo9609 it's not that they copyrighted the word by itself, but there were multiple items/services with the word and since they were all electronic related, they determined it as infringement. which is still dumb lol

[@JaxonBellve]

why not just call it "Mario in SPACE"?

[@Thegamingwizard55]

One regional difference in Super Mario Kart is in the Japanese version, Peach and Bowser's winning animations have them drinking the bottle of champaign and getting drunk in the process. This was seen as potentially harmful to a younger audience in the western countries, so in the western releases it was changed to Peach and Bowser simply hold their bottles as opposed to drinking them.

[@honeynutz8850]

8:35 also the Japanese Version of Super Mario Sunshine actually has less fruit in Delfino Plaza than in the NTSC version, making the game load faster than in north America

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

In the original Japanese version, Mario actually says "Here we go!" when throwing Bowser. It's the Shindou (Rumble) version that went with "Bye bye!". The reason why the Shindou version didn't stick with "So long, King Bowser!" was because that's not his name in Japan. Also fun fact, they reused the Shindou voice clip for the DS remake. Speaking of said remake; for unknown reasons, they went back to the Japanese painting for Jolly Roger Bay.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

The Super Mario World one was added back in in the GBA rerelease

[@Dashiell777]

Also in the Japanese version of Mario Sunshine you can hear Mario talking to Toads Worth at the beginning of the game but he doesn't do that in the American version.

[@kesjapietron7129]

Oh yes another good video that i can watch before sleep thanks👍

[@judahhossain5101]

The name "Galaxy" in Korean sounds similar to a vulgar term, so Nintendo decided to rename the game to avoid any potential offense or confusion.

[@Copycat_YT]

Ohh okay must be it that’s for the explanation!

[@maricthehedgehog]

10:46 oh yes my favorite object The OOO block Also fun fact : In the DS version of SM64 the Japanese bubbles painting is used instead of the sunken ship

[@ViperousVT]

10:22 correction no Galaxy is not Taboo translated the title of the game in Korea its called Super Mario Wii Galaxy Adventure.

The weirdest thing in Super Mario Sunshine is that there are other words in the german than in the italian version even tho a few words in the german version are italian as well. So in the german version if you collect a shine there's "Bravissimo" which doesn't exist in german but is an italian word. In the italian version tho if you collect a shine the words "Splendido" appears. I have no idea why they've done this diffrently if it's the same language both times and it's very weird if you ask me. The words for losing a live and a few other things are diffrent as well even tho the german version also uses italian words there.

[@koiaer]

Amazing video as usual

[@KwartOrSomething]

Bro congrats on being first

[@ajburrr]

A lot of Mario Kart 7 courses have different names when comparing the North American and European versions

[@Obama_]

Great video :)

[@johnsesia9050]

2:28 - 2:31 That was early 1996, so still firmly within the mid-1990s range.

[@MrN641-r4n]

YOU DIDNT TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN THE EUROPEAN VERSION OF SUPER MARIO 64!!

[@RamiliaOficial]

True

[@maricthehedgehog]

I can't believe you didn't mention Peach & Bowser's winning animations in Super Mario Kart

[@Savannah_Simpson]

It’s a complete myth that Japan thought Americans needed easier games. Some versions of games got more difficult when they came to America. Also the reason you can eat the dolphins in the Japanese version, but not in the North American one is in Japan eating dolphins is not seen as taboo as it is in other places.

[@wiintendo9609]

Miss is also the word used for Super Mario Sunshine's death

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

4:02 *OR EVEN USING WARP ZONES*

[@beastlycharizard13]

You can use warp zones to beat the game eight times to get to worlds A through D, you just can't use them to get to world 9

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

@@beastlycharizard13 Explain that to Nathaniel Bandy

[@crimsonstormsurge]

Ok these are interesting

[@pampa0331]

The version of smw removed yoshi eating dolphins because of stereotypes , not wanting to show that Japanese eat dolphins. Idk if they actually do, but dolphins are cute

[@evalopez1313]

MISS appear, that sounds familiar

[@mavi3348]

'So long gay Bowser' was changed because Bowser's Japanese name is Koopa. Not becuase it was controverisal, I believe.

[@Embargoman]

Probably, because Samsung owns the right for Super Mario Bros Galaxy because of the phones.

[@Master_Calibur]

It stlll sounds like "SO LONG, GAY BOWSER!" I KNOW it's "SO LONG, EH BOWSER!?" But still

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

I never knew he meant to say so long eh Bowser.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

🤓 "Erm, technically it's 'so long, kinga Bowser'" 🤓

[@boubayaga_]

For a non political show it's a bit heavy to say "their hate for the west runs deep" when it's probably just that no foreign words at all can be published

[@TundieRice]

Maybe a bit heavy, I suppose, but let’s not pretend that China doesn’t have much more of an aversion to anything Western than other Asian countries (especially Japan, considering Japan uses English all the time, including in the Japanese versions of these very games.)

[@rowland9201]

Yeah I came to say this. He said this isn't a political show then continues to say a very political statement. Just seemed out of place in otherwise great videos.

[@AS34N]

You forgot to mention that SM64 in the Japanese version had different sound effects for red coins and the chain chomp

[@heatherblack9491]

Actually also in Super Mario SNES, the special world in the Star Road are named different names

[@trishial8212]

10:19 I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet that Samsung has a tight copyright on the word "Galaxy" in Korea, and the change was made to avoid legal fees

[@qr-eh9es]

good theory

[@Jandro_33]

Also, in the Korean version of Super Mario 64 DS, if you go to the castle's roof you will see a yellow block that it will give you 1Ups if you hit it, and it is infinite. Maybe is a reference to the original game, were you get 100 1Ups when you talk to Yoshi?

[@austingoodrich1468]

Would it have anything to do with POW meaning prisoner of war?

[@Its_bloon.yt2011]

What would?

[@stuffenjoyer6677]

You forgot Super Mario Land 1 as well as a few others.

[@Cutie_Nepgear]

Another difference in Super Mario World is that in the Japanese version you can't replay castle stages but you can replay them in the US and European versions.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

4:43 Or maybe they took the "Fish are friends, not food" motto from Finding Nemo

[@TundieRice]

Dolphins are mammals, not fish… And Yoshi can still eat fish in the American version, lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Kamekthegreatgamer]

In super mario world you can eat Dolphins on the gameboy version
