Question about rankings

People use the NTSC version for 150cc runs because it's faster.

Hi there !

I'm a bit confused after reading this thread.... sorry for not understanding :-(

Speedrunning All Cups (No Skips) on a EURO / PAL Wii U VC, I also read on reddit.com or mariokart64.com that there are differences between PAL and NTSC timings. Here are some examples : https://www.reddit.com/r/n64/comments/55sgeu/ntsc_vs_pal_for_mario_kart_64/ https://www.mariokart64.com/mk64/convert.shtml

I was wondering if I'm affected by this question of PAL / NTSC timings conversion ?

And in the leaderboard there's a US flag next to the platform (WiiUVC) indicating "USA / NTSC"... Could someone help a n00b :-) please ?

And I just found the below page : https://www.reddit.com/r/mariokart/comments/62h2b9/vc_mario_kart_64_version/

With an information source pointing to this page : https://beckabney.com/mk64/wiiuvc.html

I feel that this could be relevant to my question, am I right ? If so, does that means the Wii U VC Mario Kart 64 game timings don't need to be adjusted ?

Thank you for the help !

Yes, the Wii U VC release of the game is just the US version even in Europe.
