Hello, I have a few of the Taiwanese editions of Super Mario 64, (before anyone chimes in, it is an official version of the game) and I was wondering what people's thoughts on them were.

There are two Taiwanese versions I know of, the first is in Japanese and the second is in English. I could only find images of the first variant but I have the second one at home and will take a picture if requested.

As these are released for the Taiwanese market, they both use the Japanese shell variant, which is pretty interesting, an English game in JP shell for a Taiwanese market.

Similarly, there is a Korean version: http://www.koreanversion.com/hyundai/comboy64/super-mario-64 but I don't know much about that version.

Just wondering what everyone's perspectives were on this game, as far as I can remember, they are simply label variants for the JP v1.0 version. If I do runs with this version, would I submit them under JP, ROC, USA, or otherwise?

I think every version are allowed if it is not shindou edition.

Shindou is allowed, but is slower for RTA. That is why no one uses it for RTA. The carts you have are an example of a grey area since very few people have access to or own those versions of the game. They would most likely be allowed, though.

The image at the top of the thread is the variant in English, and its cartridge art is the same as other English releases. The version I own is the Japanese language variant. as you can see its art matches that of Japanese carts but is a Taiwanese release, unfortunately I do not have the box and the cartridge was in the condition seen when I purchased it:

Well, I can say that all Taiwanese games I have found are in English or Japanese. I know Pilotwings has at least a Japanese language title.

I wanna Have that -_-
