*ForeignDubAsBasis: Many dubs of ''Anime/SmilePrecure'' go by the English dub, ''Anime/GlitterForce''. You can probably tell, because the main character is called Emily (instead of her Japanese name, Miyuki) in Italian, Danish, Polish, French, German, Dutch and European Spanish. Or at least localized, as the European Portuguese dub names her Emília.

So I assumed this was true but fact-checking it seems to reveal so far that fans just ASSUMED this was true based on other shows Saban sold to Nickelodeon. If someone has a source though please add it again.


** The reason why eight episodes and the movie were cut from the ''Glitter Force'' dub was because Saban originally tried to get the show aired on Nickelodeon, which had a 20-episode limit per season.

* ContractualObligationProject: Basically how the ''Glitter Force'' dub came to be. Despite {{Website/Crunchyroll}} trying to get the streaming rights to the rest of the Pretty Cure series, Toei decided to include Pretty Cure in the same licencing deal that also gave Creator/SabanBrands the rights to ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}''. However, it should be noted that Saban wanted nothing to do with the ''Pretty Cure'' series to begin with. This resulted in ''Smile'' (and eventually ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'') getting an AshcanCopy dub work from upper management.
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** Some websites (most notably Anime News Network) list Tetsuya Kakihara's role as Brian Taylor from ''Smile! Pretty Cure'' as being that of a character from ''Anime/GlitterForce'', the English dub of the show. While he does appear in the original Japanese version, his episode was one of eight that was omitted in the ''Glitter Force'' dub released in most countries outside of Asia, though he did get mentioned in a later episode, where Kelsey reads a letter he sent to her.
*** The same thing happened with the ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' dub, ''Anime/GlitterForceDokiDoki'', which merged or omitted more episodes than ''Glitter Force'', with roles that didn't appear in that dub being listed under the dub's name rather than the original name.

* PlayingAgainstType: The majority of Creator/ChinamiNishimura's characters are... let's just say [[GenkiGirl always have a hyperactive element with them]]. Reika is instead very calm and calculated.

** One example from the Japanese version; it seems that [[Creator/MisatoFukuen Rika Shiguma]] [[LightNovel/{{Haganai}} and]] [[Creator/MarinaInoue Yozora Mikazuki]] have returned to team up together, this time as magical girls.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Cure March was originally designed to be a purple Cure, and all the girls were going to have long hair.
** Before going with the name ''Glitter Force'', the series' English name went with the name "Gangnam Girls"
** The reason why eight episodes were cut from the ''Glitter Force'' dub was because Saban originally tried to get the show aired on Nickelodeon, which had a 20-episode limit per season.
