	Unlike many other categories, the 1 Key run is optimally performed on the [[Super Mario 64#Japanese\|Japanese version]] of the game instead of the [[Super Mario 64#English\|US version]]. This is due to [[Peach]] not narrating her dialogue in the Japanese version, which saves more time than the longer in-game text costs. This time save is emphasized due to MDS skipping both the castle entry textbox and the BitDW textbox, both of which are longer on the Japanese version. Therefore, this run is ''not'' performed on the Japanese version because of version-exclusive glitches; it is performed on the Japanese version because the introduction is faster.
