Parody World: Monster Party English translation
パロディワールド モンスターパーティー
Stardust Crusaders' complete English translation of the cancelled Japanese prototype of Monster Party, which plays quite differently from the version sold in America.
What's translated
The prototype of Parody World: Monster Party has its own Japanese script, with an opening story, monster taunts and boss lines that are not the same as in the American release. This patch puts all of it into English, along with the password screen and the other menus.
Why it's interesting
The Japanese build was never finished as a product, and it differs from the North American cartridge in levels, dialogue and presentation. The translation lets English-speaking players compare the two and see what Bandai originally planned for Japan.
Credits and playing it
The patch is by Pennywise and rainponcho of Stardust Crusaders, released in July 2017. It is applied to the Japanese prototype dump, following the instructions on the group's project page. The Cutting Room Floor documents the prototype's differences in detail.
