Please say no, it was so stressful to buy a NTSC N64, I don't wanna buy another NTSC Console
You can see all the version differences here :

And it is very easy to softmod a Wii and bypass the region lock to be able to read discs from any region.
I was talking about a Gamecube, not a wii. My wii cannot play gamecube games, I have 2nd gen
PAL Is faster than NTSC-U but slower than NTSC-J, I think it's going to be fine but i run on 3d All stars. I don't even have a run on here so idk if PAL is good. You should probably ask in the discord
You'll want JP 1.0 for long categories because of the load time difference but PAL is only a few seconds off JP for any%
I'm pretty sure homebrew like Swiss can do that, it's just not as easy to set up as it is on Wii. Also there's a load time difference between GC and Wii, and it's bigger than the difference between any versions
Dude, I have 2nd gen wii and I want to buy a gamecube, so can you please just tell me the answers of my questions without talking about the wii as a "holy grale"?
Sorry for that, it's just everytime when you ask in any forum in the internet, somebody is like "yeah... you should do this" and says slmething completely different that you didn't even ask for. I'm sorry, I did not want to offense you
I am also answering your questions tho, just making sure you're aware that this isn't the fastest or easiest setup but you do you
I actually did not know wii is faster, but I stsrted collecting all nintendo consoles, so I'm gonna buy a gamecube anyways, and because I like to soeedrun I thought I could do a couple sunshine speedruns, without any serious grind, but if I bought a gamecube anyways I would like to have the better Version, you know what I mean?
If you just want to do, as you say, "a couple sunshine speedruns, without any serious grind," then you don't need to worry about which console or version you play on. The PAL version on GameCube works just fine. To reiterate what Noki said, you can play the Japanese version on a PAL GameCube, but only by using Swiss, which is custom Homebrew software. This may be difficult to do (and requires buying more hardware, like an SD card adapter or a modchip), so it's probably not worth it for someone who isn't going to spend a lot of time speedrunning the game. (Not to mention that GC is slower anyway, regardless of which version you play on.) Of course, it's still your choice, but it's important to know what you're getting into before making that choice.
