Translation NES / Famicom

Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom English translation

Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime · サラダの国のトマト姫

Stardust Crusaders' fresh English script for the Famicom release of Hudson Soft's vegetable-themed adventure, written straight from the Japanese rather than reusing the old American localization.

What's translated

This patch gives the Famicom cartridge a complete new English translation. Every scene description, conversation and command in the verb menu (Move, Look, Check, Talk, Praise and the rest) has been redone from the Japanese text, so it reads differently from the 1991 American release. Your sidekick Percy the persimmon keeps his own command on the menu.

Version

Version 1.03 is the current release. The project was first marked complete in October 2020 and the patch was revised in December 2021.

Playing it

The patch is for the Japanese Famicom cartridge. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions that come with it. The project page also offers a scanned English instruction manual.
