Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun English translation
ポケットぷよぷよSUN
Materia Shrine's English patch for Compile's handheld Puyo Puyo Sun, covering story mode, Nazo puzzles, menus, the staff roll and the hidden bonus stage.
What's translated
Materia Shrine's patch covers nearly everything you see: the title screen, the story mode and its dialogue, the Nazo Puyo puzzle mode, all menus and options, the rankings, the certificates of Endless mode, the callouts during battles and on the results screen, the staff roll and the endings. The secret bonus stage that opens after the Satan fight, and its dialogue, is translated as well.
A few things were kept in Japanese on purpose, such as the header and footer of the Endless certificate, part of the link cable error screen and a small ribbon in the single-player cutscenes. Some lines were shortened to fit, and the staff roll's special thanks page now lists the translation team.
How it was made
The team says the reverse engineering, tools, text insertion and automated testing were done with the help of an AI model, so the entry is tagged accordingly. It was tested in emulators in Game Boy Color, Game Boy and Super Game Boy modes, not on real hardware, and Japanese save files still work.
Playing it
Version 1.0.1. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on its romhacking.net page.
