Merely a spelling fix for the final version.Īpparently Slippa was named Hister before the game was finalized. Unfortunately, the top of the script has been overwritten, so any other differences cannot be determined. It's largely the same, and only three differences in game dialogue exist. The first is an enemy tip, while the second would be said when Cranky is finished talking.Īn early version of the game script can be found in the ROM, starting at address 2DE076. Two more of Cranky's lines aren't referenced in the pointer table.

The only ones that can be seen normally are from the first world, but lines exist for almost every level in the game! Some of these tips are present and used in later remakes, and Cranky gives tips in every world in the sequel. More importantly, the lines below individually identify DK and Diddy, which doesn't happen in the final game this is odd, because Funky's lines identifying individual characters do work.įor whatever reason, almost all of Cranky's level tips were removed from gameplay. Some lines, especially in the ending, still seem a lot more kindly than Cranky would end up being in the sequels and external materials.

The text data begins at ROM address 3C03C8.Ĭranky seems to have gone through a personality change during development, from 'nice old man' to 'angry old man'. Notably, palettes very similar to these are used in the Game Boy Advance remake-the only difference is that the wing colors were switched.Ĭranky has a large number of lines that never pop up when you visit him. Likewise, two additional flavors of Zinger were planned to appear in the game. Grey/Purple palette address: 3C8DDC to 3C8DF9
