PAL vs NTSC Differences
Updated 3 years ago by Nordanix

If you know any more differences or if I wrote something incorrect, feel free to message me so I can fix it! ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Main Differences

  • PAL runs at 50fps while NTSC runs at 60fps
  • PAL will start with 120s on each level, while NTSC only starts with 100s. I assume this is to make up for the slower framerate to make it more fair.
  • PAL can only achieve times in even decimals: .0,2,4,6 or 8
  • NTSC can only achieve times in certain decimals: .1,3,5,6 or 8

This Causes Some Issues

  • The timer keeps ticking as the same rate as it would on NTSC, so pared with slower framrate and thus movement you will lose tons of time by playing on PAL.
  • I'm not sure if there being different achievable decimals between the version is anything that will affects runs, but it's worth noting at least.

[big]Conclusion: Play on NTSC[/big] If you got the option, stay away from PAL and play on NTSC. Not only will you save tons of time, but it just feels so much smoother and more fun playing it too!
