Kart Fighter: Kart Fighter Improvement Nintendo Entertainment System

This hack does the following:

-Fixes character names and score board
-Recolors the title background yellow, to be more accurate to Super Mario Kart.
-Corrects the error where Mario had a green hat and Luigi had a red hat.
-Slightly improves character palettes - Mario/Luigi often had a half-white face and Peach had very dark brown hair, these have both been recolored to be more accurate.
-Improves palettes for duplicate characters (for example, if two people pick Mario, player 2 now has the color scheme of Wario)


There is still plenty of room for improvement:
-Luigi's special moves cannot be executed by a human player,
-Bowser moves far too slow, making him totally non-viable,
-Mario/Bowser should have their home stages swapped (Mario's home being a lava stage is strange),
-The music on Peach's stage (Clouds) could have its volume slightly reduced as it's obnoxiously loud,
-You shouldn't have to fight Bowser twice,
-"The End" should show up on all difficulties,
-You shouldn't be penalized for a perfect,

...and there's almost certainly more.

This hack is intended for a clean "Kart Fighter (Unl)" ROM, with a CRC32 of 4877213A.

This is an expansion of DvD Translation's hack of Kart Fighter from 2004. In addition to the fixed character names and improved score board, this hack:

1)Recolors the title background yellow, to be more accurate to Super Mario Kart.
2)Corrects the error where Mario had a green hat and Luigi had a red hat.
3)Slightly improves character palettes - Mario/Luigi often had a half-white face and Peach had very dark brown hair, these have both been recolored to be more accurate.
4)Improves palettes for duplicate characters (for example, if two people pick Mario, player 2 now has the color scheme of Wario)

There is still plenty of room for improvement:
1)Luigi's special moves cannot be executed by a human player,
2)Bowser moves far too slow, making him totally non-viable,
3)Mario/Bowser should have their home stages swapped (Mario's home being a lava stage is strange),
4)The music on Peach's stage (Clouds) could have it's volume slightly reduced as it's obnoxiously loud,
and even more things I'm forgetting right now that would require someone smarter and more talented than me!

This hack is intended for a clean "Kart Fighter (Unl)" rom, with a CRC32 of 4877213A. Enjoy!
