Jelly Boy 2
Patch v1.0 Final
Release date: 10/17/2006
*********************************************
Original Language: Japanese
*********************************************

DISAMBIGUATION: Jelly Boy 2 is the sequel to Jerry Boy, released in Japan (and retitled Smart Ball for the US).
It is not related to the PAL-exclusive game Jelly Boy, as far as I know.

Marine and his friends went to Jelly Land for a day of fun and excitement.
A mysterious joker appears and turns them into slimes.
Now Marine and his friends must seek out the mysterious jester to undo the spell.

Or something like it. I don't know if there's an official prolouge.

This game never actually came out. How come it can be played on an emulator, I don't know.
But it's a pretty fun game.

This is the sequel to Jerry Boy, released in September 1991 for the Super Famicom.
Jerry Boy was a platform action game, starring a prince named Jerry.
Jerry Boy was developed by Game Freak, who would go on to create some RPG series for Nintendo. I forget the name. :P
Sony published the game.
Jerry had been turned into a slime by an evil wizard. Jerry had to slither his way
across a variety of scenese, including a town, underwater, and even the moon. He
also had the unique ability to cling to just about everything in sight, as well quickly
expand himself to pop enemies off the scene. It was a decent game, selling 50,000 copies
in Japan, at least according to Game Freak.
Jerry Boy was released in the US in April 1992 under the title Smart Ball. While Sony made a small improvement
to the controls (they moved the shoot button from X or Y to L or R, so now you don't waste ammo every time
you need to stick to something. Though the limited ammo was easy to refill, it was a minor annoyance.)
The downside is that Sony also decided to delete the plot, rather than translate it.
In 2000, Chris Covell released a patch for the Japanese release, which rectified that situation.

Somewhere in between, Game Freak and Sony decided to create a sequel. This game featured non-linear play,
allowing the player to choose the order to complete the levels. This game also features multiple playable
characters, creating some strategy for the player, to decide which is best suited to finish each stage.
There are also a fair number of secrets to find, along with some pretty challenging bosses to defeat.
All in all, a good game.
Unfortunately, this game was not released anywhere. The only speculation is that this game was
developed in close proximity to the PlayStation's release, and Sony probably couldn't wait to be
free of Nintendo, after Ninendo cancelled the "Play Station" CD drive for the SNES, the day it was to
be "officially" announced.

Emulation Status:
 This game is playable to the end in both ZSNES and SNES9X.
 This music freezes during the credits in both emulators, though this happens in
 the original ROM, too.

 Be aware that this game only made it to prototype stage.
 I don't know how it made it to the Internet, don't ask.
 Some people on the romhacking.net board have mentioned that games didn't usually
 have a proper checksum calculated until a retail version was produced.
 So, all copies on the Internet will have bad checksums.

*********************************************
What's done:
 - All graphics and text have been translated, inserted, tested.

*********************************************
How to patch:

If you're new school and have Windows:
 - Use the RUP.
 - Get Ninja from http://ninja.cinnomonpirate.com
 - Use the command line (if you need to have a GUI, then you have to get the .NET Framework)


Or be old-school and use the IPS.
 - 1,536KB, no header. Checksum F3A6C574 (see "Emulation Status" above. Beta game = bad checksum)

 - Download this zip file.
 - Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
 - Download Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.cggames.net
 - Open Lunar IPS. Click Apply patch. Pick the ROM and the patch.
    -If that is too difficult, open Lunar IPS, then close it. Do this to associate IPS files with Lunar IPS.
    -Now just double-click the IPS file, and double click the ROM.
*********************************************

 On the option screen, you can choose choose the button layout, as well as Stereo or Monoaural sound.
 A music and sound test is also available.

  or press B to return to the level select screen.

  Left/Right - move. You will automatically cling to walls and ceilings if you touch them.
  Up - press to stretch upward, attacking enemies from below. Also press to enter a door.
  Down - press to flatten. You can attack enemies this way, as well as avoid damage.

  Check - you will return to this point in the stage if you die.
  Empty heart - There is one in each world. When you collect four, your health meter will increase by one heart,
   and you will recover full health. The amount collected will be displayed at the top of the screen.

No distributing the patch with ROM, either pre-patched, or in one zip.
That's wrong.
