Translation Game Boy

Banishing Racer English translation

バニシングレーサー

A complete English translation of Jaleco's Game Boy action game Banishing Racer, from Stardust Crusaders.

What's translated

Stardust Crusaders translated all of Banishing Racer's text: the short story scenes about the little car's escape from the junkyard, the stage introductions on the map of the United States, the ending and the game over screen.

The game

The game itself is a light side-scrolling action game: your car hops over traffic and obstacles through city stages with a timer and a score, so the language barrier was small to begin with, but the patch makes the story bits readable.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the Stardust Crusaders project page. Version 1.0 was released on New Year's Day 2018.
