Translation Game Boy Advance

Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Unare! Yuujou no Zakeru 2 English translation

Zatch Bell! Electric Arena 2 · 金色のガッシュベル!! うなれ!友情のザケル2

SuperrSonic's English translation of the Japan-only second Zatch Bell! GBA fighter, with optional patches for the English dub voices and a cleaner font.

What's translated

The main patch puts the game's script into English, with names and terms following the English Zatch Bell! localization. The creator calls the translated game Zatch Bell! Electric Arena 2, as an unofficial follow-up to the first game's Western release.

Optional extras

Several small add-on patches go on top of the translation:

  • English dub voices in place of the Japanese ones
  • a variable-width font in the style of The Minish Cap, plus a script update that tidies the credits with it
  • removal of the leftover Japanese mode titles on the main menu
  • an English version of the hidden link-cable prompt in the collection mode
  • an easier Penny's Present minigame, and a way to unlock the event-only collection item with its password

Playing it

Apply the main patch to your own unmodified copy of the Japanese cartridge (both the original release and revision 1.1 are covered), then any extras you want, following the readme in SuperrSonic's GitHub repository, which also holds the script tools and notes for other translators.
