Translation Game Boy

Ultraman Ball English translation

ウルトラマンボール

Suicidal Translations' English patch for a clever Game Boy platformer in which Ultraman rolls up into a ball; only the ending credits stay in Japanese.

The game

Ultraman Ball mixes platforming with light puzzle-solving. In his normal shape Ultraman can climb and slide down walls to reach higher ledges; as a ball he can bounce off enemies and jump further. Most stages need both, so you switch forms constantly instead of just running to the right.

What's translated

Suicidal Translations translated everything except the ending credits. The patch was released in February 2003 as version 0.99.
