Translation NES / Famicom

Konami Wai Wai World English translation

コナミワイワイワールド · Wai Wai World

Zynk Oxhyde's English translation of Konami's 1988 crossover platformer starring heroes from across its catalogue.

What it is

Zynk Oxhyde's English patch for Konami Wai Wai World reached version 2.2 in April 2019 and is listed as fully playable. The game is Konami's first big crossover, where Konami Man and Konami Lady free a cast of the company's heroes and swap between them, each with their own abilities.

What's translated

The story text, character names and the in-game messages are in English, so the game's references and its rescue-the-heroes structure are easy to follow.

Related patches

A French translation by Terminus Traduction exists too, and KingMike made a separate camera hack that keeps the player character centered on screen, which many people find makes the game more comfortable to play.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the included instructions. Get it from the translation's page linked below.
