I bought a Japanese made cartridge

[White Diesel]

So I purchased a used cartridge on amazon, this was the title,

"Super Smash Bros Japanese Import set to English and to USA N64"

I'm new to the game so this will be the version of the game I will be learning on. My question is what are some of the differences I can expect to see when I go to a tourney and have to play on a North American version?

Is it a bad idea to learn on this version?

I'm very interested in that cart. If it's possible to modify cartridges, we could see actual ROM hacks. If you'd be willing to part with it, I'd be more than happy to get you an american version of the cart.

Edit: nevermind. It seems that all they did was replace the back of the cartridge. Unless more of it is English than normal, don't worry about it.

The JU version is a different meta game entirely.

The Japanese version of Smash 64 has a lot of English text. However, if you're going to attempt to be competitive outside of Japan you'll need a North American copy of the game.

I own both and modified my Japanese copy so it'll play on a North American Nintendo 64. Here they are side-by-side.

All I did was swap the back using the tool seen in the photo.

Dang looks like I'll have to try and get my hands on a North American copy. Thanks for the post.

you can learn on J, but you'd be better off on the american version since there certainly are differences

No you don't need it. The listing noted that they had done this for you already. That guy way wrong I promise.
