Kirby's Star Stacker

A Kirby puzzle game. It was an inevitability, really.

Leftover Super Game Boy SOUND
A list of Super Game Boy SOUND commands that is directly taken from Kirby's Dream Land 2 is located at. The only used sounds are the wind blowing during the intro and the clapping crowd played when a massive combo is achieved. Game Genie code will play any of the unused sound commands when the mute flag is called. The names used are from the official Game Boy programming manual following whether it is used or unused in either Kirby's Dream Land 2 or Kirby's Star Stacker. 41008000000000000000000000000000 - "Sound effect A stop (mute)" Used to stop internal sound effects in both games. 41300003000000000000000000000000 - "Air-sucking sound" - Used for mounting Rick in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 41260003000000000000000000000000 - "Sound of picture floating into view" - Used when mounting Kine in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 411F0001000000000000000000000000 - "Sword wielding" - Used when mounting Coo in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 41000440000000000000000000000000 - "Wind" - Used as a sound effect for Level 1 stage selection in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 41000BA0000000000000000000000000 - "Wave" - Used as a sound effect for Level 3 stage selection in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 41000130000000000000000000000000 - "Applause • • • large crowd" - Used when clearing a massive combo in Kirby's Star Stacker. 41000400000000000000000000000000 - "Wind" - Used when selecting a level in Kirby's Dream Land 2. 410007B0000000000000000000000000 - "Hurricane" - Used as the opening sound effect in Kirby's Star Stacker. 41000840000000000000000000000000 - "Thunder" - Used as a sound effect for Level 7 stage selection in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Dialogue
There's a border around game dialogue in the Japanese version. These border tiles were eliminated to make room for the extended alphabet.

Round Clear
The stars in the clear screen are larger in the Japanese game.

Easy Mode Clear
Kirby's Star Stacker takes a stand against multiculturalism. Kirby's pose was changed, Rick's eyes were closed, and butterflies were added to the picture.

Challenge Mode
The Japanese game's challenge pictures look more like a photo reel. Again, the borders were removed to make space for new graphics.

Vs. Mode
Kirby's rapturous expression was toned down in the international versions.

Tutorial
The usual border change. The Japanese text, "Explanation of rules", was replaced with an open book.

Records
The boxes of text were expanded, and the odd shading by the difficulty icons was erased.
