Mole Mania DX
Mogurānya · モグラーニャ
A full Game Boy Color colorization of Mole Mania, the overlooked Game Boy puzzler, that runs on real hardware and emulators.
What it does
Mole Mania DX, by marc_max and kensuyjin33, gives the whole game Game Boy Color palettes: the overworld screens, the tunnels underground, characters, bosses and menus are all in colour, nearly thirty years after the monochrome original. The puzzles and the game itself are unchanged.
Version 1.3 fixes a room in stage 4 that was still uncoloured, Jinbe's palette when he hits blocked ground, and the son's palette when going above ground with the big cabbage on screen.
Playing it
The colorized game runs on a real Game Boy Color and in emulators. marc_max's page includes a web patcher that works on your own copy of the original cartridge (the international release), checking it first, and the patch file can also be applied with any patcher. If an emulator refuses to boot it in colour, giving the file a .gbc extension usually helps. Credit to marc_max and kensuyjin33.
