Final build of the unreleased US version of Mr. Gimmick.

Notes

  • ROM checksums match the version of Mr. Gimmick submitted to Nintendo lotcheck on July 17, 1992. It was approved by Nintendo on August 4, 1992, meaning that this is what would have been released on cartridge in the US if Sunsoft had not chosen to cancel the game's release in that region.
  • A slightly earlier NTSC Mr. Gimmick build was previously released in 2011 by RetroUSB. The only differences between that build and this final build are that the order of the intro text screens were changed, and the music was delayed to not start until after the "Licensed by Nintendo" text. This matches the final PAL version. Lotcheck indicates that this was the second ROM submission, so the licensing text change may have been requested by Nintendo.
  • Intro text screen order from the slightly earlier NTSC build: Sunsoft Presents -> Mr. Gimmick -> © 1992 Sunsoft -> Licensed by Nintendo
  • Intro text screen order from this build and PAL final: Licensed by Nintendo -> Sunsoft Presents -> Authentic Entertainment -> Mr. Gimmick -> © 1992 Sunsoft
  • Note that you start with four lives like the Japanese version rather than eight lives like the PAL version.
