Super Mario 64 Version and Regional Differences. Besides the obvious translations throughout the versions, Super Mario 64 has many regional and version differences. Some differences are pretty small, such as the texture of a brick wall being slightly shifted and some are pretty large such as an entire course's painting being replaced. Super Mario 64 had 4 main releases, the American and Japanese (NTSC versions), Shindou, European, and iQue (Chinese). There was also a version of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 DD, but it never really released as the addon was a flop.

The shindou version may be used on the rereleases
@@Kaons Yeah, but people are acting like this is a new change
I've gotten so used to hearing "So long-a-Bowser!". It's gonna take a while to get used to hearing the Shindou version's "Bye Bye".
I remember So long gay bowser so much that it feels good for a new joke. which is Bye Bi! Nintendo can’t run from us.
Bruh
Fun fact: Super Mario 3D All-Stars has the Shindou version of Super Mario 64. I figured that out by playing it.
Pfff, i figured that with the trailer xD
Thanks captain obvious
I just finished getting 120 stars in the 3D all stars Mario 64. I’m not sure but I think they changed where the treasure chest star from dire dire docks lands after completing the puzzle. It’s off to the side now. Didn’t it used to be over the chest in front of the death whirlpool?
@@DaGhostToastRoast 120 stars in 5 days. How the fuck
@@DaGhostToastRoast Holy crap. It's been a few days! Daym.
Fun fact: the shindou version was used in super mario 64 from super mario 3d all stars, but this time the text has been translated to the english text to make it the shindou english version
As a speedrunner, I thought I had known every regional difference, but this video showed that there were a lot I had not known about. This is a very good and informational video that helped a lot with understanding changes!
Kaons 16 Star as of now, but I’m working on 70 strats

You people sound adorable when you preach "As a this or that" what's up with people doing this any way saying "As a scientist" or "As a gamer" it doesn't make sense to me as it promotes ego which makes you sound arrogant.
@@futuristicentity2417 i made the og comment like 2 years ago, and i’ll assume saying “as a speedrunner” was meant more as like “having different regional strategies in speedruns.” not intended for ego whatsoever
If you're a speedrunner, then tell me if you can BLJ in the Pal version of Mario 64
*nintendo, patching out BLJ from a version is illegal*
Quiet, they'll hear you and file an angry lawsuit. They'll pull your comment like they pull Mario fan games from KZhead.

The rolling screen looks like it's caused by having a PAL image on an NTSC screen, but it looked like the NTSC color was still intact. So, basically, your NTSC N64 may have been outputting a Frankenstein of 50Hz with the NTSC colorspace.
I grew up with the DS version That had the bubbles instead of ship
Mario says "Bye, Bi" instead of "So long, gay Bowser" because he still respects Bowser's preferences
He is just now acknowledging that Bowser also has a thing for women as well.
bowser is now bisexual
You people have weird thoughts.
Actually is because is Shindou ver, but is better the So long gay Bowser
That's the "actual" reason. The actual reason is because Bowser is known as King Koopa in Japan
This is a true story. I got Mario 64 for Christmas, however my parents trying to save money bought a used copy and it was the Japanese version. I literally had to discover the whole game not having any instruction whatsoever. Looking forward to Allstars because I'll finally get to play it in English and see how much easier the game is when I can actually read what it's saying!
Ah very interesting, thanks for sharing! Was it the 1.0 Japanese version or Shindou?
Japanese version has a cartridge that's keyed to not fit in foreign consoles. Did you mod the console?
@@Kaons it was 1.0. I know that because it had the flying Mario with the white background.
@@MrSquirrelsMan Not sure how old you are, but if you're older like me, you'll remember the 90s was obsessed with regional releases. From tshirts to CDs if you got something from Japan that was a special thing. The video rental store got some Japanese region games for the N64. You don't need to mod your N64 to play Japanese games. You can actually just unscrew the back case of a Japanese cartridge, and screw on a USA region back and you're good to go! They did that often and then after they rented them out a few times sold them pretty cheap. That's how it ended up in my hands.
@@kcmia7774 wait WAT
The translation of Peach's letter is pretty accurate. The Japanese (adjusted to fit English syntax) says, "Please come to the castle to play, I made cake. I'm waiting. -From Peach"
"Please come to the castle to play, I made cake. I'm waiting" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Arousing.
I've always wondered what that says when translated.
For 3:54, another interesting thing is that the DS version keeps the star out in the open, like the original Japanese N64 release. Odd how they reverted mutliple aspects, instead of keeping changes introduced in the international versions.
My guess is the Japanese devs just used their original, most popular JP ROM as a reference, the localizations for this game are kinda odd anyway imo
Thank you! I’m an American who played the hell out of this game as a kid, it’s probably been a decade since I’ve played it at all and today I got my Japanese copy in the mail. 50 stars in maybe 3 hours, it’s been a ball and your video answered every question I had between the two releases! Thank you again!
Wow, you really do deserve more subs, this probably took hours to make, I subbed, very well edited video!
thank you so much!
I guess you can say "Bye Bye" or "So long" to Mario's infamous line in the Switch version.
He says "Bye Bi"
Press "F" for gay bowser
Glowshy Studios so long gay bowser
Good riddance then, it's such a childish meme anyway.
“So long gay bowser” 1996-2020
There's also missing letters in the graphics of the USA version of the game (V or Z for example) compared to the JP one‚ I'm sure they removed it because no text has these letters.
I love how this is all of a sudden very informative content.
Thank you!
The Shindou version's jump sound effects sound like Luigi from dang ol Melee.

Nice job, man! People love seeing those differences!
FYI for Shindou version, "dou" is approximately pronounced as in the English "doe" or "dough"
Mario: “so long gay bowser” Bowser: “actually Mario, I think I’m Bi” Mario: “bye Bi”
LMAOO
this is really interesting. i already knew about most of the differences, but i was surprised about some i did not even know existed.
In the pal version mario’s ‘HERE WE GO!’ is slightly delayed as well
Interesting, the PAL version has a lot of weird oddities
PAL runs a little slower.
@@LITTLE1994 I know, it makes it just a tad bit shit but its easier to blj
Comments would have you believing that everyone used BLJs as a child lmfao
So is the Shindou version being used in Super Mario 3D All Stars? I'll have to get used to the different sound effects.
That's what's speculated, not confirmed yet
@@Kaons Its the Shindou version.
@@crotchsplotch has it been confirmed?
@@Kaons No, it just seems very likely.
@wedo Wow, can you send a link to this?
6:02 how I feel about 3d allstars
Yeah, very unfortunate
atleast they kept the glitches in sunshine. actually having doing the casino part would be terrible.
@@spicymilkshake6600 Galaxy had very few glitches
4:46 oh can’t wait for the salty internet when I draw a really good art of Mario dabbing while he does the peace sign. 🤭
5:26 Technically, the Ya sound that Mario makes wasn't affected. The Ho was though. Just wanted to point that out.
You know in the European version of Super Mario 64, the only Mario voice clips that altered pitches were his Jump: “Ho!” Double Jump: “Ho-hoo!” and “So long King Bowser!” which I like it because those pitch alterations were done to match the original recordings tho the rest of some of his pitch voice clips remain the same incorrect pitches as the USA release.
Awesome video with a lot of work put into it ! You got yourself 1 more subscriber

It’s weird since I remember the painting for JRB being bubbles when playing Super Mario 64 DS, but while playing the OG game in 3D All-Stars it’s a pirate ship instead.
Mario said Buh-Bye in the new 3D Mario Allstars game, I wonder how much of the game was borrowed content🤔
It may potentially use the Shindou version, made a vid on it last night

That Japanese Chain Chomp made me laugh more than I should've.
It's quite odd
Feels unfinished.
i guess no one is going to mention the fact that japanese chain chomp sounds like Goomboss from SM64DS
Damn, great video for a smaller channel. You deserve more subscribers
Thank you sm!!
One pretty noticeable difference (at least for me) was the "Here We Go!" after getting a star. In the PAL version Mario says that line a little bit later than in the other versions. This occured when I was playing the Wii Virtual Console version, but it was later fixed in the Wii U port (apparently the Wii version was made for my own region, which is PAL, but the Wii U one was made american in all non-asian regions.)
The strange thing is that I don’t remember the pirate ship in mine for the water level. Mine was English but it has a lot of the Japanese and English attributes.
No idea what release that could've been then, what did you play it on?
You probably played the DS version like me, because I can only remember the bubbles icon
Amazing video + subbed 😁
Thanks so much!
i actually learned something new and i dont know who you are sooo: SUBSCRIBED :)
I actually really like the Japanese red coin sound. I really wish that they used that one for the American version, but made it get higher pitched each time you collect a red coin 😥
So Nintendo didn’t necessarilly use the “bye bye” for the 3D all stars bowser throw because “So long, Gay bowser!” caused drama but maybe they just happened to use the Japanese version.
yes, that's pretty much it. I see so many people complaining, and every time I see it I have to remind them that this alteration wasn't done specifically for 3d all stars.
3:04 goodbye bowser
I KNEW IT. The second i opend mario 3d all stars i noticed "hmm.. Mario sounds a bit higher pitched then normal" and i was right!
5:48 ok that's neat
I'm sure people have commented on 3D All Stars using the "Bye bye" clip, but it should be noted that the other differences shown here in the Shindou release were not apparent in the rest of the trailer. I'd hope that if anything, they just added the voice clip to the original release and left the rest of it alone. Though with Nintendo's approach concerning glitches recently, even in single-player games, I'm not convinced the BLJ is intact. I'd hope they realize how iconic and important it is, and how popular speedrunning continues to be specifically with this game, but again, it's Nintendo...
Knowing Nintendo, I'm afraid they did patch glitches
Game leaked. It’s Shindou
They use the Shindou version for 3D All Stars.
I consider the JP Joller Roger Bay painting the "Dire, Dire Docks" painting beacuse of the Spaceworld 95.
I use to call jolly roger bay, jolly rancher bay
why this less subs that was a very nice vid
“Shin-dew”
shindo, shindew, who cares lol
Kaons You know what, I’m sorry for that. It was kind of rude. I actually didn’t think you’d care enough to respond. Now I feel bad... The reason it even bothered me is because a big weeb and somewhat of a language geek, and I’m learning Japanese. Anyways, I really did like your video! Also, fun fact: The way “ou” is used in the romanization of Japanese is to represent a long o sound, which literally written with the characters for o and u. I don’t why this is, but I perfectly understand why you thought it was pronounced “ew” considering the French pronunciation.
@@Butterstix2014 I've heard shindou pronounced both ways when referring to this game so I wasn't sure what to go with, also it's fine I'm a big weeb too just know nothing about the language
You don’t have to explain why, I was just being too pedantic.
@@Butterstix2014 I'm not sure about that. I know this has already been resolved, but I think sharing knowledge is a good thing, so I'd like to make a counterpoint. Imagine if someone was doing a video about Italian food, and they kept pronouncing pizza "piss-a." Or if someone kept pronouncing albeit like "all-bait". You'd feel compelled to say something, right? I wouldn't call it pedantry exactly, although the initial comment does come off as mocking. But it feels lighthearted and not malicious, which your follow-up comments made completely clear. If it's a word like karaoke or karate where the English pronunciation is so standardized that it's a full on loan word at this point, it would be pedantry to insist people pronounce it in the Japanese fashion. Or getting on someone's case for not properly pronouncing the elongated syllables in Yoshi's name, where English doesn't even have the necessary distinction between the sounds for it to be intuitive to a native English speaker. But shindou hasn't entered the English language in that way, and English has all the sounds to pronounce it correctly (except the distinction with the elongated O), so I think a correction was fine. Plus, it could help people understand the intended pronunciation of other ou romanizations in the future! I think that's overall a good thing. (Of course, if it had been written shindō from the beginning that would have cleared up the confusion... but ou is so much more convenient to type.)
Those higher pitched voices are going to bother me in 3D all stars
I can't believe those are the sound effects they're using... No idea what Nintendo is thinking
Nice Editing For A Guy With Only 1K Subs, Good Job!
Thank you!
Your Welcome M8
It's really cool to see these kinda localization differences, gives each version it's own charm.
I thought the jolly Roger bay paintings were the same in every version?...
They are on the DS, not on the N64
*ITS THOSE DAMNED PERSONALIZED COPIES!*
In the 3D Mario All stars so long gay bowser changed with bye, bye Rip: So long gay Bowser(1996-2020) :(
Very interesting...
Hey everyone! I greatly appreciate the support on this video. I made another video going over the cut content and version differences of Sonic the Hedgehog! Check my latest -> kzhead.info/sun/drWfcZmJeKV4oJE/bejne.html Also, I have a Discord now! Here it is: discord.gg/A2yQu3a
This is mental! I'm actually watching this video with auto-generated subs and it spells "so long gay bowser" LOL
Do you have access to the SM64 pc port? I've been watching some clips and I noticed the audio sounds INCREDIBLE. Im wondering if this might be big news it sounds it could be the original uncompressed audio files straight from Koji Kondo's equipment. Maybe its just my ears? It would be great if someone can confirm this.
Why does everyone always say he says “bye bye”? He is clearly saying “buh bye”
bye, bi

Cool! Love it and Like it!
This also happens in the Nintendo switch. 5:14

Chain chomp in america: come here bitch Chain chomp in japan: don't hurt me
I know Super Mario 64 very well and had all 120 Stars, but hearing the differences between American and initial Japanese versions, I am amazed to see that we have the better one all along and Japan felt RUSHED (one thing that's mostly unnoticed is the star count was moved a tiny bit to the left in the international version). iQue sure is late as hell. By 2003, Gamecube was already active. Nintendo did do a dumb move by using the Shindou version for the Switch re-release. The company's not like it used to be. Despite playing the N64 game since original release, I never even knew about the BLJ glitch! The "So long, eh-Bowser" to "Bye bye" didn't bother me that much, though, as I already knew about that. That rolling screen when you tried to play the EU version through an US/JP N64 was because the video signals in the hardware don't match, as PAL is 50Hz while NTSC is 60Hz. Otherwise, it actually still runs. A shame, though.
The Chain Chomp Sound Was used For Goomboss In 64 DS & Mario Kart DS.
I always thought that the reason why the chain chomp sounds different in the Japanese version was because of Japanese onomatopoeia. I understand that they say that dogs make a won won sound not a bark bark sound
Potentially, a silly difference regardless
Studying up for 3D allstars
I loved that game as a kid
The N64 disk drive version Peach's castle theme was also used in the pal version
Cool
I got an N64 for christmas and I want to get sm64 for it, however my local retro game store only has the shindou version. so , thanks for these comparisons, though I think ill look into other ways to get a US sm64 before deciding on buying the shindou version.
5:38 *Fast forward to September 2020*
Finally someone who's speaking my language
2:03 I don't know why the game didn't get the Spanish and Italian translations like later games. As seen in the video, they ran out of space in the menu, but they could made an entire separated section with all the 5 languages...
Why do people hate this game?! We should like how we get to play our favorite games anywhere
I'm only here because the Shindou version was used in Mario 3D All-Stars hence why Mario says "Buh-bye!" instead of "So long, King Bowser!"
Fun fact, the current president of Nintendo of America's name is Bowser. Completely coincidentally, and has nothing to do with changing the line.

I’m pretty sure the shindou version is the one being remastered but I may be wrong on that
Posted a vid on that just now, it certainly is possible because of the "bye bye" but not yet confirmed
Kaons Cool!
@@SoshiTheYoshi Yep, you're right.
There is a korea version which i think is based off of the pal 50hz version,i have no idea of there are differences .. also i would like to know if there are any japan versions that are more updated but not shindou
is the Z backflip different in the M64 from all stars? i feel like i cant do it as fast as on the US cartridge
Haven't tried it out yet
I just finished getting 120 stars in the 3D all stars Mario 64 which is the shindou version. I’m not sure but I think they changed where the treasure chest star from dire dire docks lands after completing the puzzle. It’s off to the side now. Didn’t it used to be over the chest in front of the death whirlpool?
Haven't checked that out, I'll check out 3D All Stars eventually
I knew I wasn't going crazy when I thought the painting in jolly roger bay painting looked weird. Play DS as my second nintendo game so I thought I was going crazy playing 3d all stars
