| I just downloaded a speedrun of Super Mario Bros. 3 played on an NTSC-NES. Then decided to try it at home, with my PAL B device.
And on the Map of Grass Land, I noticed that on my Game, the Sound Speed is higher. Why could that be? I didn't notice a speed change in the levels. In the attachement, there's a mp3 file I recorded of my game. |

| The speed change is probably some issue of a cheating metode, it's usually some cheating on these speed runs!! | |||

| I don't think so, as the Emu's play the song slower too, and in the Movie 'The Wizard', it was also slower than on my own system. | |||

| Probably just laziness of the developers not to completely fix the speed for PAL. The game was originally designed for NTSC (the standard in Japan and North America) | |||

| Yeah, but the funny thing is, PAL is slower than NTSC. | |||

| Hm, I have seen this before. There was a PAL version of SMB I played once, and it constantly played it's music about 2 times faster then NTSC. I never understood it... | |||

Hm, you're right. I hooked up my NTSC NES and played the MP3 alongside it, and the NES was a lot slower.  |

So perhaps the developers took a rough estimate at how much faster they'd need to play the music to be normal on PAL, went a bit too high, and decided it was good enough?  |

| Yeh.
I remember humming the Grassland theme with the perfect tempo. Then I played it at my friends house and I was like "doo-pa-dah, doo-pa desync wtf" |
