Also known as: Kirby no Kirakira Kids (JP)
|
A Kirby puzzle game. It was an inevitability, really.
To do: Check if there are any unused parts of the SNES version. |
Leftover Super Game Boy SOUND
To do: Post rips. |
A list of Super Game Boy SOUND commands that is directly taken from Kirby's Dream Land 2 are located at 0xBC00. 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 ??3-01B-E6A 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.
