Kirby Puresabe is a Kirby's Adventure hack created by the same person that created Rockman IV Minus Infinity. Here's my WIP attemp. Only the first stage is finished at the moment. Link to video IPS patch : http://www.mediafire.com/download/c35xrawdalv3hhp Patch with the original JAP Kirby's Adventure ROM (Google Search: Hoshi no Kirby - Yume no Izumi no Monogatari ROM) EDIT : As far I know, it's impossible to get the credits, because there is an unbeatable level... So no TAS can be finished on this game :/ EDIT2 : DreamTool translated and online! Download at http://www.mediafire.com/download/rlui6efu4j8lwpy/DreamTool001-english.zip

I didn't know there was a hack of Kirby's Adventure out there! That's really cool! It looks like it's of good quality too, with plenty of differences from the original game. As for your run, there are parts that can be improved. The easiest thing to fix would be delaying a frame or two before you reach Waddle Doos and Sparkies so they don't use their attacks (which both cause a lot of lag). Did you use FCEUX? If you did, you may not have noticed the game lagging because FCEUX's lag counter doesn't work well with this game. You can fix it with this Lua script, which also gives you speed and position values in the corner to help you optimize the run. Also, I love how the damage boost at around 0:53 in your encode gives you a speed increase for a few seconds. Is there a way to keep that momentum going longer? Maybe boost off of more enemies so you're moving that fast for most of the run?

Wow, I'm amazed that there's even a hack on this game out there. I think I might try my hand on TASing this aswell. Is there any chance you can upload the movie file?

NES TAS of 2013
This hack looks fun :o I will play other levels later maybe. By the way, if it's not no ability run, you should use them. Because it's faster and makes more cool~ Here's my test run. I don't plan to TAS this game yet. Feel free to improve it. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/9169569741312431

I didn't know, posting this, that there will be 3 WIP runs in the same day! It's a good thing I found that ^^

Here is some random game crash run. I don't know how to trigger the credits in the japanese version, the pause-trick with randomly pressing buttons doesn't work at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6K-WuXFw-c

Which level is it? Maybe you could skip through a wall or floor.

If we can't figure out how to beat the level through normal testing, here are the tools Puresabe used to make this hack. They're in Japanese, but maybe by studying the editor the hack creator made the hack with, we can figure out how to unlock the next level.

Unless of course, it's something like this bug. :P

This is the level 3, and, sadly, something like the bug jlun2 posted. In fact, the level is beatable, but there is no switch at the end of the level, it takes you directly to the level selection, so you cannot go to the boss door because there's a wall blocking it. I've also tried to cheat to go to the door, but it is definitely closed, like the boat door at the bottom-left corner of the Vegetable Valley. @CoolKirby : I was translating DreamTool (the tool Puresabe used) when you posted that ^^. But even if we could unlock next levels, it will surely be original Kirby's Adventure levels.

I just tested getting to the boss door too (with cheats) and can confirm that it's just an image and doesn't open. Since this hack is apparently unfinished and the first level (Vegetable Valley) is unbeatable, it wouldn't be possible to do an any% run. The only run that could be done would be a "glitched" run, like TASeditor's stone test. It wouldn't stand much of a chance of getting accepted though, being too similar to the Kirby's Adventure glitched run. It's great that you're translating DreamTool, UraKn0x! Once it's in English, someone can make a new Kirby hack or complete this one, and then you can TAS that.

DreamTool is now available in English! http://www.mediafire.com/download/rlui6efu4j8lwpy/DreamTool001-english.zip Please read the Readme file before asking here =) Sorry for bad translations, but my English is bad. And don't talk about my Japanese, I had to Google Translate every time… ^_^ I'll maybe update it later for better translations and bugfixes. Please send issues at dreamtool.bugtracker.english@gmail.com I'll probably create a website for this tool. Good hacking!

Wow, that's awesome! Way to go! Now we can make our own Kirby hacks! Are you planning on making and TASing one, UraKn0x? That seems like it would be a fun project.

I think I'll make a hack, and probably TAS it, or other hacks. But now, I'm fixing layout problems on DreamTool, i will make my hack later. I'll also create a thread on http://www.romhacking.net with DreamTool tutorials and updates.
