Translation NES / Famicom

Jajamaru no Daibouken English translation

じゃじゃ丸の大冒険

Rani Baker's full English translation of Jajamaru no Daibouken, styled after the unreleased American Ninja Taro games.

What's translated

Rani Baker translated the whole game, dressing it up as the Ninja Taro release that was advertised for the US in the late 1980s but never shipped. The title screen comes from the American Game Boy game, and the font and player sprite are taken from Ninja-kun: Ashura no Shou, the first Famicom game to be renamed Ninja Taro for the US.

Extra option

A second patch converts the game to the CNROM cartridge format.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese game, following the creator's notes on the Ko-fi page.
