Translation SNES / Super Famicom

Jerry Boy English translation

ジェリーボーイ · Smart Ball

Chris Covell's English translation of Jerry Boy restores the story that the North American Smart Ball release left out, and KingMike's addendum improves the font and fixes the controls.

What's translated

When the game came to North America as Smart Ball, its story was removed rather than translated. Chris Covell's 2001 patch translates the Japanese release instead, so the scenes explaining how the prince became a jelly blob and what he has to do are back, in English.

The addendum

In 2010 KingMike's Translations released an addendum on top of Covell's work, with a nicer font and the control fix that was made for the American version. It's the recommended way to play.

More about the game

Chris Covell also runs a tribute page for the game on his own site, with an English translation of a developer interview and development sketches: Jerry Boy Tribute Page.
