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.
Supa Dupa World Cup v1.0 By Ghost-Tank (on romhacking.net message board) a.k.a Ultra Mike a.k.a. Gokuma a.k.a. Iron Ghost for the 8-bit NES rom Nintendo World Cup with team hack and pause fix patches by Dacicus Much thanks to Dacicus for his Team Hack of Nintendo World Cup and his guide to hacking the game! Now with 66.7% more pompadors! ...depending on what hair fits the definition. All teams altered. Many outright replaced. At least 74 of 80 player faces changed. At least 94 of 104 player names changed to go with that. (A couple Japanese names just corrected) Lots of Match, Halftime, and Ending graphics changed. Music switched around including previously unused music. Some teams send more defenders after you. Has a lot of River City Ransom characters including the Japanese GBA EX Parodi*Ban 20007 Special version as well as characters from related games. Patch including team hack and pause fix for regular NWC or Patch for NWC with team hack and pause fix already applied.

You only have the super shot, shot steps, and colors of the team you pick. Teams controlled by the computer look like they're supposed to, or in Versus mode everyone looks right. Two additional players are available per a team only in tournament mode and always look the same however their names vary from team to team. In descriptions of teams they will follow after the plus sign. In tournament mode, the player's team always looks like the Anarchists and the computer controlled Anarchists look like Team Evil. It's just the way World Cup works. Disclaimer: Players featured do not neccessarily represent the views of the romhacker. The Teams: ---===Rational Anarchists===--- Doing their best realizing nothing is perfect and they will always have to work within some system of sorts. Freedom is their ideal. Freedom from coercion, extortion, poisoning, and brainwashing with false information. They support the magna carta and the bill of rights. They support common law of do no harm and do not encroach on others. Libertarians can be cool too. There's a good a description of an anarcho syndicalist commune in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Godai - from Tanibana High School who previously started the Rengou Athletic Union for competitions, not having enough people from his own school. Looks an awful lot like leader of the Cowboys Gang, Tex, who once stood guard in River City High School (and Clint in the American Street Challenge). Shot steps and Super Shot: 4, Psycho Shot T-800 - This terminator sent to destroy them has been captured and reprogrammed by the Anarchists to play Soccer for Freedom. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Buzzsaw Shot Iron Gar - mysterious one sporting some badass hair Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Mega Drive Shot Jimmy Lee - one of the Double Dragon twins from Los Angelos. Once competed for Oklahoma in Japan in a multi event competition. Shot steps and Super Shot: 6, Boomerang Heilman - the Icelandic Dodgeball Captain. Very happy with his nation overthrowing banker control in a peaceful revolution and actually prosecuting fraudulent bankers who were bleeding his nation dry, he is happy to aid others elsewhere in the name of freedom. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Warp Shot Tank a.k.a. Alex - from Oklahoma. Competed in the same competition in Japan. Also competed for the Thornley corporate team in the American Street Challenge and it really turned his stomach. Does not care for corporate sponsership anymore. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Vertical Zigzag + Thor - One of the "Zombie" bosses of River City High and the Plague Gang. Named after the Teutonic God of Thunder. Looks identical to Kobayashi of Reiho High School. Shot steps and Super Shot: 0, Screw Shot (a.k.a. Stinger Shot) Otis - Another "Zombie" boss. Don't you dare wear outdoor soccer cleets on his gym floor. Actually any outdoor sneakers are a bad idea for indoor soccer as high tread is likely to stick and break the ankles of less resiliant people. My ankle hurt for a good while. Anyway, Otis could be a doppleganger for Onizuka of Reiho High. He also resembles Frankenstein's monster. Shot steps and Super Shot: 0, Slow Tetris ---===Mt. Osore Psychics===--- Referred to as Osorezan or Osoreyama. Osore happens to mean fear. Reclusive occultists from the mountain. Since they started playing Soccer, Untani has been replaced by a spirit they summoned. Maybe it's a General of the Sengoku Era or just a past occultist. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Bitter/Boo/Ghost Shot Ugajin, Tamayama, Enma, Fuke, Spirit, Kozuma + Kobayashi and Onizuka from Reiho High ---===Wankers===--- Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Bouncing Slime Shot Password: 10300 Mr.Bean - somehow wandered into a soccer competition. Blair - What's become of the disgraced prime minister who followed Bush and Cheney into a war under fabricated pretenses and invaded a sovereign nation throwing it into deadly chaos far worse than letting a dictator stay in power. Charles - Might become king before age 90. Happens to be a descendent of Vlad the Impaler. Actually he's not that bad. He really does a lot of great work. If the Medical Cartel is angry at him for promoting alternative medicine, integrated health, and homeopathy, then he's doing something right! Trump - Mean-spirited, self-serving mangled apricot **** trumpet who panders to the most gulliable and seeks to line his own pockets no matter the cost or hardship to others. Plays unfairly with a team of about 15 lawyers ready. A spoiled trust fund brat who got old and divorces any wife that gets too old. He actually sued to try to stop an offshore wind power station from being built just because it would be in view of his golf course in Scotland. Has no respect for the constitution and bill of rights. James - English Dodgeball captain. Has somehow acquired the headband of a Japanese fisherman and often wears it to try to raise his game. One of the more respectable of this lot, at least as a human being. Looks like a twin of Heilman of Iceland but isn't nearly as good as him. Mr.Marsh - seems to have the Innsmouth look and can be heard chanting words of a dreaded elder tongue, words such as, "Iä-R'lyeh! Cthulhu fhtagn! Iä! Iä!" + Banker - scum of existance. An embarrassment to humanity. Oats - naturally gluten free, for those with legitimate allergies and not just being intolerant to be trendy. But Quaker Oats (owned by PepsiCo) are not glyphosate free and their asses have gotten sued for it. At least they've recalled their products with sunflower seeds contamined with listeria. Of course it's not like the FDA cares since a Monsanto scumbag VP was appointed by the so called Democrats to head it and approve whatever they want. ---===Japan / Nekketsu High School===--- Prominent Japanese High School. Misako recruited many Dodgeball players for soccer and cheers on and chides the team. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Mega Drive Shot Password: 30700 Kunio - reputable fighter and athlete of many sports. Looks like Alex of River City (and Crash from the American Street Challenge). Riki - Kunio's eternal rival and sometimes ally from Hanazono High. Looks like Ryan of River City (and Crush from the American Street Challenge). Gouda - another old rival from Takararyo High. Previously joined Godai's Rengou Union. Looks similar to Don on the USA team that dropped out of this World Cup. Kouji, Masa, and Genei - more competitors from Nekketsu. Kouji seems a little bummed he can't cultivate a magnificent pompador like Kunio or Riki. + Kobayashi and Onizuka from Reiho High ---===Kenya Alliance===--- Mostly not Kenyan. In fact at least two are Jamaican, but many have joined this Alliance due to the oppression of 8-bit NES palette restrictions. Shot steps and Super Shot: 4, Psycho Shot Password: 01500 Teddy - Has some of the most impressive locks ever seen but usually keeps them wrapped up under a cover. Omondi - the authentic 100% Kenyan. Has a masters in emergency management. Chaos a.k.a. Rob - a veteran of the mean streets of River City Tyson - long retired from boxing, and mostly doing comedy these days, he decided to try out for Soccer. Hopefully the fists won't start flying and he won't get hungry for ears. Ving - powerhouse action star Trey - main character of his Nekketsu Flip cartoons + Blade - Daywalking Half Vampire Hunter of misbehaving vampires. Kiumbe - That's Swahili for monster ---===Sigma Bikers===--- Notorious Japanese Biker Gang. Kunio has had some street brawls and highway battles with these guys. Intense pompador rivalry is suspected as an underlying reason. Oddly, the Joker has joined their team, replacing Hoshina. Don't be surprised if he usurps leadership from the Saji. Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Vertical Zigzag Password: 22000 Saji, Yukizaki, Joker, Yusa, Souma, Kazato + Kobayashi and Onizuka ---===Russia / Rossiya===--- Recovering from Boshevik oppression (who genuine socialists actually fought against), since the Soviet Union has fallen, they are now free to reclaim elements of their folk culture that were suppressed, starting with Tetris, as long as their homes aren't in the way of development of olympic arenas. There are allegations this team may be jacked on steroids. (Serious mode on) Note that recent conflict in Ukraine is actually a three way stuggle between forces of the Western Bankers and Russian Government (not the people) with the Ukrainian People caught in the middle. Propaganda abounds, especially in the West, the Ukrainian people are the ones to believe the word of since it's a multifaceted conflict in their land. (Serious mode off) Shot steps and Super Shot: 3, Unstoppable Tetris Password: 72100 Batman - He's the Russian Batman. Oddly the Russian Batmobile can be seen at the Ocean City Gallery at the boardwalk of Ocean City, Maryland in the United States. It's got lots of fans! Ivan - the unremarkable Ivan has been replaced by the Ivan who once guarded the gates of River City High and was boss of the Internationals Gang. Could be a doppelganger for Gouda (or Spreck in the American Street Challenge) Putin - Though determined to retain his title as manliest president ever, he has promised to keep his shirt on for this competition to avoid totally demoralizing the other players. He can get back to bare-chested bear mounted bow ice fishing with grappling javelins and other activities he considers mundane later such as great white shark rodeos with laser beams. Moldoff - the Russian Dodgeball captain has joined the soccer team. Looks a lot like Abobo. Yakov and Vagis - returning players + Perun - named after the Slavic God of Thunder Monstr ---===România / Roumania===--- An underrepresented country of rich heritage and mystery has entered the competition. Shot steps and Super Shot: 4, Buzzsaw Shot Password: 11500 Vlad III - the Impaler, Voivode of Wallachia. Never had a castle in Transylvania. He was only born there and later raided some Transylvanian Saxons. Hagi - renowned Romanian soccer player Corvin - looks quite ferral (Note: There is no werewolf legend connected to the historical Matthias Corvinus) Danger X - renowned Romanian romhacker Sorin and Caim - more Romanians + Thunor - another name for Thor, just Anglo-Saxon Old English. (There may not be Anglos in Romania, but there were/are Saxons in Transylvania.) Monstru ---===Celtic Ireland / Éirinn===--- Another underepresented country of rich heritage and lore has joined the competition. Éirinn go Brách! Shot steps and Super Shot: 4, Breaker Password: 42400 McGuire / MaGuire / Mac Uidhir / Odhargenuidhire - name means Dun-colored one. Looks an awful lot like.... ME. Must have a common ancestor. Motto: "Justice And Fortitude Are Invincible" Dougherty / Doherty / Dochartaigh - name means Strong and Valiant Man. Motto: Ar Nduthchas meaning "Our Inheritance" or "Our Heritage" Keane - renowned Irish soccer player Finley / Finlay / Fionnlagh - name means Fair Hero. Algeo - name means either Noble Spear or Old Spear. Sporting the largest pompador of the competition. Coughlin / Coughlan / Cochlain + Taranis - named after the Celtic God of Thunder Munster ---===Brazilian Ninjutsu===--- Many are aware of Brazilians adapting their own brand of Jujutsu brought by Japanese immigrants. Apparently the same happened with Ninjutsu but obviously more secretively. They might know Capoeira too. Shot steps and Super Shot: 9, Boomerang Password: 62600 Yorito, Midudo, Kuwato, Akaboa, Mitsuo, Tobito + not ninjas but named after Afro-Brazilian Gods or Heroes: Oxóssi - named after the cunning hunter who only needs one arrow. Ogum - named after the invincible warrior. "...having water in his house, bathes himself with blood... ...He kills the husband by the fire and the wife at the stove. He kills both the thief and the owner of the stolen thing. He kills both the owner of the stolen thing and those who criticise this action." (quotations from Capoeira: Roots of the Dance-Fight-Game by Nestor Capoeira, page 46) Umm... I'd rather associate with Oxóssi. ---===Germany / Deutschland===--- Now unified since the fall of the Berlin Wall, they have trained to be even faster and stronger than before. Their super shot isn't as tricky done from the ground anymore but it's much less likely to miss done with a bicycle kick. Now sporting darker shades. Hans has been cut from the team. Shot steps and Super Shot: 5, Sidewinder Password: 60200 Klaus, Frank, Jochom, Günter, Jürgen Beckenbauer - The renowned German soccer player has joined the team. + Donar - name is Old High German for Thor Kreatur - German for creature ---===Alien Planet X===--- The World Cup needs to be renamed as it has attracted fierce competition from other worlds. Shot steps and Super Shot: 6, Firewall Password: 22300 Mr.Gray - Usually content just observing our Springer Show of the universe, now feels the need to compete. Usually reserved, hearing chants of "Jerry! Jerry!" may cause him to fly off the handle. But nothing pisses him off more than federal agents in costume impersonating him and violating people of little credibility. Wilford Brimley - previously battled the evil Dr. Kellogg. Now back in action since learning of the disgrace of PepsiCo's Quaker Oats he once endorsed. Some PepsiCo executives are going to get their oats rolled! Brain - has quite some mental power Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - not actually an alien but he fits in with them. Titan - doesn't have much depth perception but still good at soccer. 4-Eyes - could be a twin of the "Zombie" boss Mojo or Taira of Reiho High... except for the extra pair of eyes. + Klaatu - tires of humans' petty bickering and squandering of the Earth. Oderus - late frontman of extraterrestial band Gwar. Fortunately a past instance of him has made it through a time rift to play soccer, drink beer, pleasure space hookers, and spray crowds with blood fountains. ---===Team Evil===--- Superpowered Cyborgs or Robo copies of notorious bosses. They have quite vile corporate sponsership. Shot steps and Super Shot: 6, Infernal Demon Shot Password: 12800 CyborgSlick / RoboYamada - copy of former bosses of River City and Reiho High RoboToudou / CyborgTitus / CyborgTodd - copy of Yamada's successor who doesn't like to get his own hands dirty. This replica does get personally involved in competition. RoboMatsudo - copy of a Reiho student scientist possibly responsible for these robo copies. RoboToraichi - copy of one of the tiger mask twins. RoboRyuji / CyborgAndy - copy of one of other less reputable and meaner pair of Dragon twins. RoboMajishi - smaller than the real Majishi but more powerful. A full size one would have been needlessly expensive to build. + RoboKobayashi and RoboOnizuka ---===Misuzu===--- Although known for manhandling Kunio by holding him up with one hand and slapping the crap out of him, she is actually deplurable at soccer and has grudgingly accepted a position as an official. She did a stint as a guard for Sabu before, after losing all her money in pachinko machines. ====================================================== CREDITS mostly for graphics: Various other Technos games including the PC Steam version of River City Super Sports Challenge Naxat - for the upgraded the PC-Engine versions. Set Germany's stats and super shot to be like the CD version. Wanted to use UFO from opening of a mode of their Hucard version of Dodgeball but it was too big. Did use five frames of UFO from jumping super shot of Johnny on USA in Super Dodgeball Brawlers for Nintendo DS Used Alien from Galaga Akumajo Densetsu (Castlevania 3) gfx used for Ireland, Romania, and Team Evil's match pictures and Medusa's snakes for hair. Holy Diver (starring Dio!) and The Tower of Druaga for Ireland's picture Thought Druaga might be Irish but it's Da Derga's Hostel I was thinking of. Wizard looks close enough to a Druid. Some texture/gfx from Zombie Nation, Metroid, Contra, Dr. Mario, and Doom. Mega Man 2 - Woodman's Buzzsaw Excitebike - bikes for Sigma Bikers match picture. Tetris - didn't actually use gfx but drew something like a combination of Nintendo and Tengen's gfx. Got Ninja Turtle face from River City Hacky Sack by Tylerk, hosted for a while by SomethingAwful http://www.mediafire.com/download/an23oii7aoi78vi/rchs.zip Danger X and Sorin for forum avatars and got Caim's face from Danger's Nekketsu Legends mod of the Jidaigeki Remake for PC. Wilford Brimley Battle by Hentai No Kami and Pope Hentai - I modified their Brimley face for this. Mike Tyson's Punch Out - recreated his face gfx except shrunken vertically and added the tattoo. Whoever made the picture of real professional players as Technos style World Cup characters shown in the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjIb0n1kvQU - Used the German, Romanian, and Irish players. Thanks to Shaoin Soccer for being movie equivalent of Technos Soccer Games. (Watch the Chinese version. US version is horribly edited. Regular DVD had both versions of which both are Chinese speaking with English subs) --------------------------------------------------------- Editors/Utils used: Hexposure - My favorite hex editor but running with dosbox on my current system heats it up a bit much. FCE Ultra eXtended-Debug 1.0a based on FCE Ultra 0.97.5 and its included tools such as PPU Viewer and Hex Editor Wish its hex editor had a go to location feature but it searches for values and loads tables nicely. Most awesomely, you can change values on the fly while running a game and undo or just not even save bad or useless changes. Hexecute - It's a standalone hex editor for windows. I can't get loading tables to work and sometimes search doesn't find exact values that are there. YYChr.net - Awesome graphics tile rom editor. TBLater - quicky & easy to make some tables but it can't load existing tables so you have to remake them instead of modifying them. Oriton - better table editor ---------------------------------------------------------------- Again, thanks to Dacicus for his guide to hacking the game http://www.romhacking.net/documents/399/ and his team hack of World Cup that made doing this hack so much worthwhile. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/414/ http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/795/ And much appreciation for his thanking my hacking of save states. Also thanks to romhacking.net People may use my work as a base for their own or pieces of it. Just please give some credit. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other notes: I wanted to restore the Hori Hori Miners' mole shot from the Japanese game but the tiles used by it are used for the 3 and 4 over those players' heads in multiplayer vs. Unless something can be given a pointer to other tiles, restoring it would replace those player indicators with a quarter of a ball with some dirt constantly over their heads. Except for the PCE versions, the Japanese versions are only two players. Although they stripped it of all the Japanese cultural teams, Nintendo did some good balancing measures to their international World Cup version. For the Japanese versions: It is called Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball-bu - Soccer Hen or Hot-Blooded High School Dodge Ball Club: Soccer Edition PCE versions are four players with various upgrades and additional teams. Hucard has a new Scientists team and CD version has five other countries. Sharp X68000 has all teams selectable in vs mode and most options such as turning off super shots or changing the music anywhere. 8-bit Famicom is the basic original version. If you somehow play as the miners, the graphics of the mole shot don't go low enough when done with a bicycle kick in these versions. Teams available invs and Save states can be hacked for versions where all teams aren't normally selectable. Mega Drive has horrible control and hit detection and most players' shots are badly nerfed (regular and super). However all teams are selectable in vs, players have varied stats on all teams, and at least the Hattori Ninjas have a bunch of crazy special moves shown in a youtube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF8IAdlP7lA Too bad the Mega Drive version (Japanese Genesis) is so messed up ruining it despite the upgrades. Additional final team is all-stars of someone from each of 12 teams. Best single player strategy is to play as Kouji despite slowness and keep doing his bicycle kick super shot. See my patches for various versions: Famicom: Romanji&Partial Trans v0.9 http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2676/ NKS Rebalance patch v0.9 http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2945/ Sharp X68000: Romanji&Partial Translation v0.8 And my Romanji patch for Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari EX Parodi*Ban 2007 Special. since Romanji alone isn't enough of a translation to be on romhacking.net Here's a link to that: http://www.mediafire.com/download/9332k2335hbtbwn/dnmparodiromanji05.zip ***Bonus for reading the end of this ridiculously long text file!*** All stats: +--------------+-------+----+------------+-------------+------------+ | Player | Speed | HP | Shot Steps | G.K Defense | Super Shot | +--------------+-------+----+------------+-------------+------------+ |4 A (Godai) | 8 | 50 | (4) | 50% | (Psycho) | |2 B (T-800) | 4 | 86 | (3) | 40% | (Buzzsaw) | |3 C (IronGar) | 7 | 52 | (3) | 40% |(Mega Drive)| |5 D (JimmyL) | 10 | 48 | (6) | 30% |(Boomerang) | |6 E (Heilman) | 6 | 68 | (3) | 30% |(Warp Shot) | |1 F (Tank) | 7 | 65 | (3) | 60% | (Zigzag) | | G (Thor) | 9 | 58 | (0) | ? |(Screw Shot)| | H (Otis) | 7 | 64 | (0) | ? |(SlowTetris)| +--------------+-------+----+------------+-------------+------------+ |Kenya Alliance| 8 | 70 | 4 | ? | Psycho | |Japan/Nekketsu| 8 | 60 | 3 | ? | Mega Drive | | Sigma Bikers | 9 | 55 | 3 | 20% | Zigzag | | Russia | 6 | 82 | 3 | ? |UnstoppableT| |Mt.Osore Psych| 7 | 45 | 3 | ? | Ghost Boo | | Wankers | 5 | 44 | 3 | 33% |BouncinSlime| | Romania | 9 | 67 | 4 | ? | Buzzsaw | |Celtic Ireland| 10 | 63 | 4 | ? | Breaker | |Brzl Ninjutsu | 16 | 54 | 9 | ? | Boomerang | |Alien Planet X| 11 | 84 | 6 | 47% | Firewall | | Team Evil | 13 | 99 | 6 | ? |InfernalDemn| | Deutschland | 12 | 80 | 5 | 60% | Sidewinder | +--------------+-------+----+------------+-------------+------------+ Slide tackle does 3 damage. Shoulder bash does 8 damage. If players have the same current HP, then either can bash the other, whoever gets the other first. If a player has 1 or 2 less current HP than someone they're trying to bash, they both fall. If a player tries to shoulder bash someone with more than 2 more HP, only they fall and the opponent is completely unphased. Tripping over stones or getting hit by the ball, even super shots, actually does zero damage. Kunio, Riki, Toudou, and Slick/Yamada change expressions with some match ups in vs mode.
