Unused "Palutena's Guidance" Dialogue

English	Japanese
300px

The "Palutena's Temple" stage contains an Easter Egg very similar to the special Snake "codec" taunts present in the previous game, where Pit can talk with Palutena & Viridi about one of the opponents on stage. One of these conversations is totally unused for the time being, and distinguishes itself from other Palutena's Guidances by being as ambiguously worded as possible. While this could likely be used as a catch-all audio file used for DLC characters, not much can be made out from it, as it could be applied to every character and still make sense.

Regional Differences

To do: Most, if not all of the regional differences in the 3DS version are also in the WiiU version. Add the applicable ones.

R.O.B.

Like his appearance in Mario Kart DS, R.O.B.'s default color scheme changes based on the region of the game: his Famicom colors in Japan, and his NES colors in North America. In Brawl, his Famicom palette was the default in all regions.

Japan	US

His trophies and costume orders have also been changed accordingly. Other icons, such as his icon on tickets in Special Orders, remain unchanged.

• The character "Duck Hunt" is renamed as "Duck Hunt Duo" in European releases.
• The Spanish announcer pronounces Ike "ee-kay".
• In Japanese language, the announcer pronounces Lucina with a hard C instead of a soft C.
• Olimar and Alph are referred to as "Pikmin & Olimar/Alph" in the Japanese versions, but drop the Pikmin from their names elsewhere. The official site still has the Pikmin in their names in all languages.

Music Tracks

Some of the track names for music have different names in the European version, most of which add game names in brackets and/or are changed simply because the games they were originally from had different names when they were localized.

Palutena's Guidance

To do: Put up an audio preview to show the differences between the US and European versions and clean up the descriptions.

The Palutena's Guidance is, for the most part, the same between the US and European versions of the game. However, Duck Hunt and the Koopalings have a slightly different guidance. For Duck Hunt, it's just a minor dialog change to account for its different names between the US and European versions. For the Koopalings, Palutena refers to them as the Koopalings in the US version and Bowser's minions in the European version.

Miscellaneous Differences

In addition to the usual localization changes to accommodate games and characters receiving different names in different regions, a few other differences can be spotted:

• Both the male and female Wii Fit Trainers have British voice actors in UK releases of the game, likely to fit in with the way the Wii Fit games were localized. Other European countries also adapt this change, although obviously with their own respective languages.
• Kirby has different voice clips when he copies Palutena & Shulk's neutral special moves to accommodate for the new translations, a rarity in the series as they usually go untranslated. However, his voice for Jigglypuff goes untranslated yet again.
• Trophy descriptions display significant differences on the whole, even between different English releases.
• Just like in previous games, metric units are changed to imperial units in the North American version. Since all internal data remains in metric, several challenges have unusual-looking requirements, such as "Hit Sandbag 3280 feet" (1000m).
• The order that playable demos are listed in Masterpieces is different in every version according to the original games' release dates. The North American version lists the release year and month for each game, but the European version lists only the year.
• The Japanese version features a new remix of Ashley's Song which is used in place of the English version of the Brawl remix.

Revisional Differences

Version 1.0.1

This patch was distributed the same day as the US release, and fixed a few minor bugs.

• Added the ability to choose a name before playing Smash Tour
• Fixed a glitch involving pausing the game during a Smash battle with Pac-Man.
