Introduction:
|
|
The Tropical Banana Island sits in the Banana Kingdom. It was all fine until one day
|
|
when the Pepper Dragon came and took the Banana Symbols from the Banana Prince.
|
|
Being symbols of the Banana Empire, the Banana Prince decided to get them back, and
|
|
his subject, the Dragon Master, decided to come with to help him.
|
|
Now, the Banana Prince must travel the islands to get back the treasures and defeat
|
|
the Pepper Dragon.
|
|
|
|
One day last April, Teary Eyes sent me an email saying he had completely finished translating
|
|
the German edition of Banana Prince, and he was looking for somebody to put the text
|
|
back into the ROM for him. It was a pretty fun game that I had been hoping would be
|
|
translated, so I said sure, I'll do it. It was a bit challenging, due to the
|
|
substring compression and string countdown method of reading text (a plus, since there's
|
|
alot fewer pointers to worry about. A minus because one missed end-of-string character
|
|
can screw up a good deal of text). But, I got a program done to omptimally compress the
|
|
text, and insert it. I got that done around mid-May (5/16).
|
|
Then I had to find the few mistakes in my script that were causing big mistakes in the text.
|
|
That took awhile, and didn't get it solved until mid-June (6/18). Then I had to find the
|
|
small graphics that needed translation, and get those tested and inserted.

Emulation Status:
|
|
Well, if NESTICLE will run it, I think almost anything will. :)
|

*********************************************
|
|
|
|
What's done:
|
|
- Everything.
|
|
|
|
What's not so good:
|
|
- A couple of questions displayed incorrect answers, so I hacked it to display the
|
|
correct answers. This shouldn't affect anything else, but let me know if it does.
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
How to patch (Windows, sorry non-Windows users. I succumbed.):
|
|
- Download this zip file.
|
|
- Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
|
|
- Download IPSWin 2.0 from somewhere (www.zophar.net might have it, but no guarantees. Look for "Utilities").
|
|
- Open IPSWin 2.0, click the little folder thing in the first box.
|
|
Choose the original GERMAN ROM (do not try the Japanese ROM, I'm sure it'll corrupt something).
|
|
Choose the IPS patch in the lower text box in the same manner. Click Patch. Enjoy!
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
How to play:
|
|
|
|
D-Pad: Move
|
|
Up: Enter doors
|
|
Down + B: Grow a vine (on any surface that the Prince has both feet planted on).
|
|
Down + A: Slide, drop through small floors (in Stage 3, anywhere else?)
|
|
Select: Nothing.
|
|
Start: Pause, and see current Score and High Score.
|
|
B Button: Attack
|
|
A Button: Jump
|
|
|
|
I've seen what looks like an upside-down Shoryuken (Hurricane Kick, or spinning flying kicking move thing for those
|
|
who've had the misfortune to never play Street Fighter II), but I'm not sure how I made the Prince do it.
|
|
|
|
The goal of this game is to get to the end of each stage. Defeat the enemies to earn powerups, and collect Rings to
|
|
buy items and visit the Bonus Stages. When you reach the end of the stage, you'll have an option to go to the
|
|
Bonus Round, buy a different weapon, or go to the casino to gamble for more Rings. At the end of every third level,
|
|
you will have to fight a boss.
|
|
|
|
Update:
|
|
The Dragon Master will attack enemies and pick up items that he touches. To make him circle the Prince, hold Up and
|
|
jump. While in the air and holding Up, press Down. The Dragon Master will continue to spin until he tires.
|
|
|
|
Power-Ups:
|
|
Banana - Refill 1/2 banana
|
|
Banana Bunch - Refill banana meter to full.
|
|
Flower - Increase vine length.
|
|
Bird - ???
|
|
Mini-Dragon - Invulnerability (the Prince's cloth will flash).
|
|
Prince - Extra life.
|
|
Dragon Master - summon Dragon Master for assistance.
|
|
|
|
Vines:
|
|
The Prince can also grow vines if you hold Down and press B. He can then climb the vine, and if you jump off the top
|
|
of the vine, the Prince can jump to distance places, both high in the air, and across large chasms.
|
|
|
|
Bonus Game:
|
|
It costs 30 Rings to take a cannon ride to the Bonus Island.
|
|
Start - Starting location. HINT: If you get a bad roll, you can land on the Start space to roll again.

You can also move back and forth between two spaces, if you're trying to land on a particular spot.
|
|
Apple Core - Lose the bonus game.
|
|
Banana, Prince, Clock, Fist - Scratch game.
|
|
Try and scratch the three spaces with the prize. If you get it, you win an item. If you get even one eggplant,

you lose.

|
|
Numbers 1 to 5 - Take a quiz with that many questions.

last treasure to get the good ending to the game.
