Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
*NEEDLECRAFT vs the DOGMEN FROM OUTER SPACE!* by KTAJATBTB This is a complete hack of Bubble Bobble (USA) for the NES, including graphics, text, colors, and even level design. The plot, characters, and themes are based on the music of Needlecraft, a garage band from Missoula, MT. The patch was distributed for free with the release of Needlecraft's first full-length, self-titled LP, and came with an instruction booklet and NES-style game cover print. The song "Dogmen from Outer Space" was the primary inspiration for this hack, and the two playable characters are based on Mikki and Hana, the founders of Needlecraft and its principle songwriters. Although the band is now defunct, this hack lives on in its memory, and even Bubble Bobble fans unfamiliar with Needlecraft and their music will enjoy the new and challenging level designs, color palettes, and enemy graphics! HELPFUL HINT: The original password/continue system from Bubble Bobble remains intact, so should you find yourself stuck on a Needlecraft level, you can bypass it by entering a Bubble Bobble password (legend has it that such things may be found by searching the so-called "interweb")! TO PLAY: YOu will need a copy of Bubble Bobble (USA).nes and a suitable patching program like Lunar IPS, as well as the appropriate NES emulator for your system. REFERENCE: To find out why this ROM has such a bizarre plot, check out the music of Needlecraft - just be sure to bring along a sense of humor and a healthy appreciation for garage-style girl groups who love to rock with reverb and harmonies!

The actual hack was authored by KTAJATBTB. This patch is free for all who legally possess a copy of the original Bubble Bobble rom. Never for sale! Enjoy!
