i think you got it the other way around.. Pal is slower.. not faster. My pal system runs mario even slower then your ntsc example, and my ntsc console runs it at normal speed

@DGMRuadeil From what I understand, very early PAL copies of this game were simply the NTSC ROM being run at 50hz in a PAL console. The PAL version shown in this video is a later copy that was made its own ROM for europe, and was attempted to be sped up (although they obviously didn't do it right since the music is too fast).

nothing much different other than a slighlty slower soundtrack in the NTSC version. other than that this video is pointless

[ingx32]

@lewis95stephen it's not pointless, the slower music IS the point lol

[KirbyY15]

i think you swapped PAL and NTSC

PAL = 50 HZ

NTSC = 60 HZ

i am not sure about that though

[ingx32]

@KirbyY15 yeah pal smb is weird, they actually sped it up to ntsc speed but accidentally sped the music up twice

I live in New Zealand and have this game in PAL. I always thought it was weird seeing it on TV, or watching vids on Youtube cause the music was always too slow. Now I know why.

i like ntsc better cuz thats what im used to, the pal version just looks weird to me.

@neoprint I know how you felt :P

[REALSlutHunter]

[jacksaints1]

why does my PAL NES sound like the NTSC version?

[cameron20101000]

I gonna vote for NTSC

PAL version is also good, but less choppy than the NTSC version.

Compare handheld GBA to NTSC SNES and GBA versions of 16 bit games also have downgrade;s like brighter washed out color contrast and annoying high pitched sound which also makes them inferior and like PAL Virtual Console the 3DS Virtual Console it was anounced getting locked to only to the Inferior GBA conversions of 16 bit era games athough "some" NTSC NES 8 bit games will be released on 3DS Eshop and free to those who bought 3DS before price drop.

Never The Same Colour

I have a pal nes and a pal game and it runs exactly the same as the pal version here

[DGMRuadeil]

@ingx32 ah thanks for clearing that up. Yea i might have have that early version. Though my version includes duck hunt too. I dont know if that matters anything as to what version it is. The game itself plays sluggish too so yea its definitely ntsc ran on pal
