VHS[]

Template:Home video A VHS tape titled "Super Mario 64 Perfect Video" was released just days prior to the North American release of the game. It's sort of like a video game strategy guide, and runs for about 40 minutes in length. The video was distributed by Pioneer, GTV, and Mario the Video.

Regional differences[]

Of the following facts, these show what is different in the Japanese version of Super Mario 64.

  1. Several of Mario's voice clips were added in the U.S. version that you won't hear in the Japanese version.
  2. Princess Peach's voice cannot be heard in the Japanese version at all.
  3. The first demo where Mario battles Bowser in the Dark World is not in the Japanese version.
  4. The painting to Jolly Roger Bay is a picture of bubbles underwater with no ships on it.
  5. In the U.S. version, the coin counter stops at 999, and you can only have up to 255 coins in a saved file.
  6. The 5th Star in Jolly Roger Bay (Blast to the Stone Pillar) is wide open in the Japanese version, while in the U.S. version, it's inside a yellow "!" box.
  7. The 2nd Star in Cool, Cool Mountain (Li'l Penguin Lost) is placed above the mother penguin in the Japanese version.
  8. The "Lakitu's Message" music is not included in the original Japanese version.
  9. The Chain Chomp from Bob-omb Battlefield makes a different barking sound.
  10. The Red Coins make a different sound effect that doesn't increase in pitch.
  11. In "Footrace with Koopa the Quick", if you take a warp to another location, the music will change back to the course's normal music.

In the Rumble Pak re-release version (only released in Japan), nearly all of the voice clips and sound effects from the U.S. version are retained. The last four facts were submitted to TMK on August 27, 2010.
