Michael Jackson's Moonwalker: Thriller Restoration
A small restoration hack that puts the 'Thriller' music and sound effects found in a prototype back into the game's third stage, the graveyard level built around that song.
What it is
The third stage of Moonwalker is a graveyard full of zombies, clearly designed around "Thriller", yet the finished cartridge plays a different song there. A prototype of the game still contains the "Thriller" arrangement and its matching sound effects, and this hack, credited to GenesisFan64, carries them over into the retail game so the stage sounds the way it was first planned.
What's changed
- "Thriller" restored as the music of the third stage
- The prototype's sound effects for that stage restored
- Everything else stays as in the final release, which has a different ending and other small differences from the prototype
The hack does not combine with other Moonwalker patches such as the one that makes the hidden children visible.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the hack's database page linked below. The screenshots here show the original game.
