This is because the text takes longer, but the lack of narration makes the game shorter. It is also notable for being the fastest version of the game for the 1 Key category (and some others). The Japanese version has a few glitches that were later fixed in all other versions, such as spawning displacement, the lack of a coin limit, time stop and others. The very first version of the game to be commercially released, the Japanese N64 version was succeeded by the Shindou version a year after release.

The Nintendo 64 console is less robust than modern consoles, so its CPU is more likely to crash when confronted by errors and other unforeseen occurrences. There are many different versions of the game, differing by where, when, how, and in what way they were released. The game was released in Japan on June 23rd 1996, then on September 29th, 1996 in North America, and finally on March 1st, 1997 in Europe. The game was rushed at the end of development as told by one of the programmers of Super Mario 64, and a couple of the team members never wanted to make games anymore due to being burnt out after working on Super Mario 64. The entire game was almost accessible, some details got changed before the release, such as the different star icon in the HUD, a rock spike at the top of the mountain in Bob-omb Battlefield, and other small details that were changed. On May 16th, 1996 (E3 1996) the game was shown off and is almost like the final game. The final product was supposed to come out in December, but it was delayed further, and the entire game was rebuilt.

Early footage of the show revealed the 50% complete beta version of Super Mario 64, in which it looked completely different than what the final product looked like. The first time Super Mario 64 was shown was at the Shoshinkai show in November of 1995, with the introduction of the Nintendo 64 (Ultra 64 at the time). Super Mario 64 started development sometime before 1995.
