1 - Version History:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.01 [10628 bytes] [October 11, 2003]
There was -one- untranslated graphic in the game, during the
Puzzle World bonus stage. When Konami Girl's balloon popped, the
sound was represented by Katakana symbols. It's now changed to read
"Pop!".
Version 1.00 [10560 bytes]
*All done 'cept, er, nothing!*
The damned title screen is NO MORE~! *Dances*
Version .99 [7855 bytes]
*All done 'cept the title*
As the title says, everything's done except the damned title screen.
Version .90 [6982 bytes]
*The not so quite fully complete version* -
All the text is done!!!!!!! All that's left is:
-The Title Screen
-The little scroll in the game map
-The Kanji in the Car Races
-The "Puzzle World" Logo
Version .23 [3514 bytes]
*The version I finished before going to sleep* - Unreleased
Whew... all of the song names are in, and half of the sound names are there
too. I'm off to bed... [9-13-2000]
Version .15 [2150 bytes]
*The version that started maiming Akujin's translation* - Unreleased
I had to move stuff around, and I added some more letters and scrunched
names. Oh, the intro dialogue is in! [9-13-2000]
Version .05 Beta [1930 bytes]
*The Version that stole Toma's font and got away with it*
I've just inserted the font, there is nothing translated yet, but the game
will be hacked partially soon!
------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - Project History:
------------------------------------------------------------------
April 21-22, 2001
Finally figured out the problems I was having with the title screen. It turns
out that the Konami programmers used certain codes that I could not touch
under any circumstances, else the title would go to hell. So I used only the
parts that were not protected. The result? Well, go and play it for yourself,
you'll see. *grin* Also, I nearly used all of the tiles in the block for that
title screen. Makes me wonder how do they do those titles anyway, it's hard o.o'
That title screen is an adaptation of Prez's original concept, which was way
cooler. It had a swirly circle behind the title. Anyway, that title proved to
be impossible to implement, in part because of the control codes in the game,
and in part due to Prez needing more tiles that the game had available.
Anyway, Prez couldn't do the title screen because of personal conflicts, but
I still appreciate him designing the title for me. If it wasn't for him, this
would never have been completed fully! ^_^
April 11-12, 2001
Edited the remaining parts. Except the title screen. But it's done... finally
done!
September 29 & 30, 2000
It's done! If only someone would come and vanquish those parts I'm missing...
September 15, 2000
Got the Minibosses CD! ^_^ Yah, I know... can't a guy brag? ;D
September 14, 2000
Gah! I started all over again so I could use some tiles I had ignored,
and now I have 20 more tiles to use! ^^;;;;;;;; Thanks to Translhextion, I
quickly transferred the dialogue from one version to the other, with just a
simple script dump!
September 13, 2000
Moved stuff around, and accidentally deleted the new graphic for the map =P
August 30, 2000
Partial script dumps have been made [the introduction, the song names and the
sound names]. Unfortunately, the rest of the script is spread out within the
rom at random. So the remaining parts will have to be translated using
screenshots [Ack! O_o]
August 24, 2000
I've just started... anyone wanna help out translating? ^_^;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - How To Patch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, get yourself an IPS patching program. Follow the instructions that
came with the program. Ta-Da! I reccomend that you go to Zophar's Domain
[http://www.zophar.net/] and look there. Do not bother me with questions on
how to patch! (You will be ignored if you do.)
------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - Controller Functions
------------------------------------------------------------------

Transforming into a Konami Hero
First, Rickle must collect a Call Battery [A ball with a C in the middle] As

You have sixty seconds of transformation time. After it ends, you will return

------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - So who are these guys anyway?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Robot Rickle [Rikkuru]:
Special Ability - Double Jump
From: Wai Wai World 2
He has the ability to jump twice as high as the other characters, by pressing
A just as he starts to fall from a regular jump. His attack is a straight
shot, that doesn't travel very far away from him. He's the only one who can
die by losing all his hearts.
Ishikawa Goemon [The guy with the black hair]
Special Ability - Pipe Boomerang Attack
From: Legend Of The Mystical Ninja / Mr.Goemon / Ganbare Goemon
He attacks by throwing his pipe. However, when he throws it, it flies back
towards him! It can hit anyone or anything even when it is flying back at
you! ^^ Pretty useful! It flies very far too!
Upa [The Baby]
Special Ability - Cloud Maker
From: Bio Miracle Boku tte Upa!
When he [she? :|] hits an enemy, he [she?] turns him into a cloud, which he
[she?] can use to climb to higher places. Oh, and his [her?] size allows him
[her?] to fit in small places [I think]. Oh, he [she?] must attack very
closely to the enemy. Upa is also the only one that can swim.
Simon Belmont [The guy in the upper right corner]
Special Ability - The Vampire Killer [the whip]
From: Akumajou Densetsu / Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Uh... I've got no clue as to what can he do. Actually, he has very good
attacking distance, but like the old Castlevania games, he can only use the
Vampire Killer [the whip] towards his front.
Bill Riser [The blond guy]
Special Ability - 4-way Machine Gun [^^]
From: Contra / Gryzor
Ha! Now this guy really rocks! It's player one from Contra, in SD form! He
can shoot in four directions [up, right, down, and left] when he's jumping.
Sorry folks, no diagonals in this game [>_<]. His bullets reach all the way
to the end of the screen. Good attack power, as well.
Fuuma [The guy with the red hair]
Special Ability - The Hadouken blade
From: Getsu-Fuuma Den
The best attack power in the entire game! His attack covers his entire front
and part of his head. But you have to be really close to the enemy to hit it.
The good thing is, that most regular enemies die with just one slash. So
he has a distinct advantage over the rest of the characters.

I apologize to Mac OS/Linux/BeOS/ or other Os users, I only have Windows 98

programs. Emails concerning this will be ignored.

------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
9 - Hey! Where the heck is the manual you mentioned before?
------------------------------------------------------------------
I screwed it up =D Unfortunately, I will not create it in HTML format; there
is no way that I can assure that everyone can view it in the way I intended
it to be seen. So, I'll try to whip up an FAQ! Hopefully, 2 to 3 weeks after this
file is posted, I'll write one up with my findings ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------
10 - Anything else you want to tell us, Kitsune?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... be sure to play the games that spawned the characters that appear
in the game! All of them are great, especially Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa!
Who would have thought that playing as a baby could be so gratifying?
/*Begin Plug*/
Ganbare Goemon, Getsu-Fuuma Den, Akumajou Densetsu, Contra/Gryzor and
Twinbee 3 have english translation patches created by other, more
experienced groups; you can get them all at The Whirlpool
[http://donut.parodius.com/], RPGd [http://rpgd.emulationworld.com/],
or SGC [http://sgc.emu2k.com/index.phtml]. I would give out the addresses
to each group's site, but some are either discontinued, vanished, or just
changed their site address. Please refer to these sites for more info on
the games, the patches, and the groups themselves.

such as a website URL or a "Downloaded From" notification, or worse, the game
ROM image itself.
You may not modify the patch in any way, including using this patch as a
basis for another translation patch, without my express consent. (There's
nothing wrong with asking for permission!) I know I can't stop anyone from
doing this, but I'd prefer it if you asked me so I can provide some data
files and whatnot. My only request is that you credit the original script
translators first.
Game reproductions using this translation patch ARE allowed, as long as
there is very little profit involved. So selling copies of this game on eBay
isn't kosher, but making repros is fine.
