Hack description

Kirby's Dream Land DX Revised is an addendum hack to the colorization hack of Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Land DX made by GreenAndACat.

The changes to the colorization are really minimal, but they give a slight graphical polish to the game.

* Removed the small "DX" next to the title screen
* Restores the official copyright text in the title screen
* Modifies the floating Kirby sprite at the Title screen to not look as derpy. Added a bit of shading to the sprite, and also modified the default pink colour used for the title screen to match the pink used in-game
* Modified the HUD graphics so the small Kirby icon now shares the colours of Kirby in-game

Worth using!kindlekat2023-02-14Version 1.0

Why do I support this patch?

  • Undoes some DX cosmetic tweaks to make title screen look more Kirby-ish
  • Added HUD coloring makes it easier to look at
  • Changes the Pink color to be more in-line with his other appearances

Perfect correctionLigeia2022-05-17Version 1.0

This color palette correction is perfect and fixes the issues the original patch had. Go ahead !

Nice touch of polishNajekt2022-05-17Version 1.0

The new title screen, colors, and revised HUD make for a more polished and official look. I don't think the "DX" should have been removed though.

Cool Revised Game.jrose801492021-03-05Version 1.0

This is a Nice Revised DX Game. The Logo is Yellow on the US Box Art, Not Pink, Blue and Green.

Good Start, Fix Fade Issueredmagejoe2021-01-25Version 1.0

Despite what other people say about the colors, clearly being color-blind and thinking that Kirby is a dark magenta, this is perfect coloration and a vast improvement on the existing patch.

Having said that, I will not use this version of this patch, just as I have not used the other for one glaring issue. The fade transition, which works fine without a palette, is incredibly glitchy and should be remedied. I know it's not exactly easy, as there was a great deal of trouble with the Metroid 2 color patches getting the fade transitions to work. Having said that, it was clearly made possible, so it would be appreciated if the same effort could be put into a v1.1 of this patch.

If you can accomplish what the other patch could not, I'm sure these No recommends will turn into Yes recommends.

Love those kinda of hacksLodan-Zark2021-01-06Version 1.0

I recommend this hack, I prefer the new colors, plus the title screen restoration make the game look like an official release! Thanks for this patch!

The original game but full color, I can't ask for more.SGAN2021-01-05Version 1.0

It looks nice (only tested in a emulator, mGBA) and play as the original but colorful, so, I think it is highly recommended.

PS: I did like "small DX" :_(

Not much of a big deal imoBluestreak2021-01-05Version 1.0

So, I don't really find this addendum to be much of a plus to the original colourization hack. I felt the more muted colours of the original looked nicer, and the changed title screen is something I can live without.

Plus and minus1HomoErectus12021-01-04Version 1.0

Simple hack and simple review.

Restoration of the official title screen — good. New colors — bad.

Of course, it is only my opinion. I prefer the previous colors.
