The Secrets of Happy Hippo Isle English translation

Das Geheimnis der Happy Hippo-Insel

NikcDC's English patch for a German-only Game Boy Color platformer starring the Happy Hippos.

The game

This is a colourful side-scrolling platformer in which a little blue hippo runs and jumps across an island full of hazards and enemies. It was made for the German market, where the Happy Hippo characters were well known, and never got a release in other languages.

What's translated

NikcDC translated the game's German text into English. Version 1.0 came out in June 2012, and the patch was last updated in November 2015.
