INTROUCTION
|
|
***********
|
|
Kantaro is trying to complete a journey across the Toukaido, the ancient
|
|
road between Kyoto and Edo. He wants to get to the Sumida River.
|
|
Will his love Momoko be waiting him?
|
|
'kay, so Kantaro's got an endless bag of bombs, and he's ready to blow up
|
|
anyone who stands in his way. He'll also blow up that doesn't stand in his
|
|
way, 'cause there might be treasure behind it.
|
|
A basic platformer with loads of hidden items to find to make it strangely
|
|
addictive.
|
|
Originally released on July 3, 1986 by Sunsoft, this game resurfaced in
|
|
Sunsoft's "Sunsoft Memorial" rerelease series for the PS1.
|
|
Play alone, or challenge a friend for the high score in the 2 Player
|
|
Mode (alternating play)!

WHAT'S DONE
|
|
***********
|
|
Everything should work. I haven't really tested it out to the end, 'cause I kinda suck at
|
|
hardcore platform games, like many early NES games were.

PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
*********************
|
|
All you need to do is download any patch application program.
|
|
Use something like Lunar IPS. Open it, then choose the patch, and the unhacked Japanese ROM. Then apply.
|
|
If you've already run Lunar IPS once, all you need to do is double-click the patch, then choose the ROM
|
|
from the prompt.
|
|
|
|
APPLY ONLY ONE OF THE TWO PATCHES!
|
|
kanta1cz.ips applies a hacked up Cezanne font to the game, which I think looks pretty nice.
|
|
kanta1.ips applies a normal old school NES font to the game, which is more readable.

EMULATION ISSUES
|
|
****************
|
|
This game uses Mapper 184, not the most common one.
|
|
So, get an NES emulator with high compatibility, like FCEUltra.
|
|
|
|

|
PLAY INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
*****************
|
|
Control Pad - move Kantaro
|
|
Select - Choose 1P GAME or 2P GAME on the title.
|
|
Start - Pause game (only Player 1 can pause. The FC didn't have 2P Start, remember?)
|
|
B Button - Throw bomb. You throw father when you're running faster.
|
|
Stop moving, and press Down + B to drop a bomb on the ground.
|
|
A Button - Jump.
|
|
|
|
I'm not really sure what the powerups do. I think you can pay off some of the
|
|
characters in the levels with them.
|
|
Like I know this one guy in like the fourth level slows you down. But if you give him
|
|
a bag thingey, he'll go away.
|
|
If you can find an onigiri (rice ball), you'll start rolling invincibly along the ground.
|
|
The object of the game is to make it to the right side of the stage.
|
|
And, um, don't get hit. Getting hit is bad, because you instantly die.
|
|
If you lose all your lives, get to go back to the title screen.
|
|
|
|
At the top of the screen is which player is playing (first or second), number of lives, and
|
|
a map of how far along in the Toukaido you are.
|
|
Then you have your score, and the distance you must travel (in Li, a measurement system used in olden days
|
|
of Japan) to complete the stage, and how many of the treasures you have.
