What's translated

The dialogue, menus, shop and casino screens, the race battles and the roulette board are all in English, and the title screen was redrawn as The Ambitions of Grand Shocker. To make room for the longer English text the cartridge was expanded and the script uses dual-tile encoding.

The game

You pick a team of chibi Kamen Riders (V3, X, Amazon, Stronger, Skyrider, ZX, Black RX and others), spin the roulette to travel across Japan, upgrade your bikes, gamble at the casino and take on Grand Shocker's bosses in race battles where you choose to drive, use items or attack.

Credits

BlackPaladin led the project and did the hacking; giblet92 translated the Japanese script and tested; phonymike expanded the ROM and edited the assembly; Lazermutt4 designed the English title screen; Googie tested. The page also thanks the authors of the tools and documentation used.
