| | It is generally believed that PAL players are not able to shoot/throw grenades, bricks, and mines quite as far as NTSC players. Evidence for this is the fact that no PAL player has been able to complete certain strategies for [[Pane in the Neck]] that involve a very long grenade shot. In addition, PAL players are not able to hit a second floor window in [[Bricking It]] using just the primary fire, while NTSC players are able to. Finally, PAL players are not able to exit the stage [[Silent but Deadly]] before the mine blows up because they are not able to throw the mine far enough(although this has yet to be proven concretely). | | It is generally believed that PAL players are not able to shoot/throw grenades, bricks, and mines quite as far as NTSC players.

| − | UPDATE on [[Silent but Deadly]]: It has now been proven that you need the mine to land ''on'' the radar dish to end the level without waiting. Since PAL players can't throw as far, the mine usually lands in front of the dish instead. But with this new knowledge PAL players are able to exit without waiting, like NTSC, although you need to stand a bit closer to the dish when you throw, otherwise it won't land on it. This waste a small amount of time compared to NTSC, since you can't take the optimal straight route. In conclusion; NTSC is still faster, but only by around 0.2 instead of 0.5 or 0.6. | + | UPDATE on [[Silent but Deadly]]: It has now been proven that you need the mine to land ''on'' the radar dish to end the level without waiting.
