How to Patch the ROM file:
Original Game ROM Size: 8 16k program ROM banks
&
32 8k character ROM banks
= 384 kBytes
= 393216 Bytes
= 3 megabits
You need:
1) A ROM file. The file must include the standard 16 byte
iNES header followed by the program ROM. This makes the
ROM file 393232 Bytes in size.
I'm not telling you how to get the ROM file, but
for this game, the format of the 16 byte iNES header
should be:
4E 45 53 1A 08 20 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Note: There are four versions of the ROM on the net.
Good Tools Called the ROM I used,
"Kart Fighter (Unl).NES".
2) Patch File: KF_v1_00.IPS
3) An IPS patching program
Recommended patching program for IBM PC:
Snes-Tool.exe by The M.C.A./Elite
Using SNES Tool:
1) Make a copy of the un-patched ROM. You always want to
keep the un-patched ROM around for later revisions of
the patch.
2) Place an un-patched ROM file with header
(I'll call it KF.nes), KF_v1_00.IPS, and
Snes-Tool.exe in the same directory.
3) Run Snes-Tool.exe
4) Type 'U' for "Use IPS"
5) Press the down arrow key until KF_v1_00.IPS
is highlighted.
6) Hit Enter.
7) Press the down arrow key until KF.NES is highlighted.
8) Hit Enter.
9) Hit 'Q' to quit.
Note: If patching the file on a Mac, I recommend UIPS.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Playing the Game on an Emulator:
For the PC, I highly reccomend FCE Ultra. For this game,
go to the "Config" menu and select "Miscellaneous...", then
check "Allow more than 8 sprites per scanline." This makes
the game look better than it would on an actual NES!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Why I chose to translate THIS game:
1) I got bored waiting for Shiroi to get back to me with
some enlish text for The Port Pier Serial Murder Case.
And I could tranlsate this game on my own.
2) The mispelled or totally incorrect names really
bothered me. I thought I should do something about it.
3) I've played and passed all the prequels to this game.
It doesn't have any. I have this thing about playing
games that are part of a series in the order in which
they came out...
Why YOU should bother playing THIS game:
1) It's arguably the best Famicom hack game out there.
2) It's probably where Nintendo got the idea that Super
Smash Bros. might be a good game to make.

Fight Order And List of Name Translations/Corrections
Translated/Corrected Name Original Name
when different
1) KOOPA NOKONOKO
Fight Koopa Troopa in the desert
2) LUIGI
Fight Luigi on a wooden bridge over lava
3) TOAD KINOPIO
Fight Toad in the forest
4) YOSHI YOSSY
Fight Yoshi in front of mushrooms
from Little Nemo
5) MARIO MARI
Fight Mario on a wooden bridge over lava
6) DONKEY KONG JR - High Score Table DONKEY
DK JR. - Battle
Fight Donkey Kong Jr. inside a palace
7) PEACH
Fight Princess Peach in the clouds
8) BOWSER KOOPA
Fight Bowswer in the desert
Characters are fought in the above order, but the
the chacter being played is only fought after Bowser.
Once this final battle wirh the played character is fought,
the game simply repeats the battles with Bowser and the
played chracter indefintely.
If play long enough you can eventually score enough to get
your characters name and score in the "Top 8" high score
table.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Game Controls & Moves Chart:
1) The basic controlls are pretty obvious. But, all the
special moves and how to play with two people come from
Death Gryphon's FAQ found a www.gamefaqs.com. Death
Gryphon's e-mail no longer works, so I was unable to
contact him. But, I felt his move chart was important to
list here so that folks could have more fun playing this
game. Most likely, no manual for the game ever existed,
so don't bother looking for one.
