Amazing. The Japanese version of MM is ass lol.

EDIT: Maybe the other Japanese version fixes these problems? There are 2 supposedly.

[Siglemic]

This means japanese would have to be its own category if someone decided to run it lol

3 Save files.
Cannot save at owl statues.

Well these two hang together. Owl saves have to hold way more data than sot saves. For exaple what blocks you've blown up, what chest you opened, what sunblocks you vanished.
It wouldn't surprise me if the NTSC save file was way bigger than the japanese one despite having one less slot.

Scarecrow doesn't ask to teach you a song.

Was that before you get sot? I think that would be normal, wouldn't it?

Hookshot Chest is backwards.

Well makes ore sense that way. Why would the pirates facce the hest to the door and not their leaders throne?

Grabbed a fish instead of an egg, never had that happen before.

Happens regarless of version. Hit-detection-fluke

Amazing. The Japanese version of MM is ass lol.

Actually 3:
1.0, 1.1 and GC. I have them all here.

according to jaytheham, there's just 1 japanese version. v1.1 is the US version and after that there's PAL and GC. VC is v1.1 as far as i can tell (epona glitches and all that bizarre stuff)

also, the game had a 6 month gap between thejapanese and american release, they had time to tewak a lot of stuff within the game while it was being localized. the major additions were the savefiles/owl saves.

there's also that underground passage in the deku palace that is inaccesible in non-jp versions..

as far as i know, the scarecrow asks you to teach a song. doesn't matter if you've learned SoT or if you don't.

guess i will buy ntsc and ntsc-j
pal sucks xD

[Lexkeeta]

wait, you can't hover against walls with bombs or blast mask?

lmao wtf

[Jiano]

wait, you can't hover against walls with bombs or blast mask?

lmao wtf

Sorry, I should have clarified. It's with bombchus. They stick to the wall like in OOT.

[thiefbug]

same to pal btw...

Stone Tower Blocks are different.

any disadvantages at this point?

I don't know who that guy is but he is probably an idiot.

Isn't the Deku Palace completely different or something

[RattleMan]

Isn't the Deku Palace completely different or something

Yeah. You have to go through the left part of the Garden to get to a grotto that will take you to a grotto on the right side (above ground so you can't get to it by just going through the right side), which is where the bean seller is. In the English version the bean seller is just in a ground-accessible grotto on the right.

[Yuggles]

So how'd Jiano miss that? :S

[Lexkeeta]

because nobody does deku palace legit anymore

[Yuggles]

It was mostly a joke. But at least one of the differences would be seen in a speedrun.
