Digimon Adventure (aka Digimon) is a pirated platformer for SNES and Game Boy Advance based on Digimon.

SNES Version

Cracked 00040

The game's 2nd level.

The game uses the same engine as found in Pocket Monster, thus the gameplay mechanics are exactly the same. The game spans six levels, which includes two boss fights.

The only playable character is Agumon. You can attack enemies by pressing A to shoot a fireball at them. Each level has a strawberry item that once collected transforms you into Greymon, who's fireball attack is much larger and stronger. Once you lose all your lives you are given a chance to continue, and there's no apparent limit to continues either.

The game steals apparently all of its graphics from numerous other sources. Of all the levels, so far the only identified source is the background from the last battle being taken from Castlevania Dracula X. The sound engine and music is also stolen from Bonkers(SNES), which like the game engine is also used in Pocket Monster and Pokemon Gold and Silver. Due to the main character sprite being the same as appears in the GBA pirate Digimon Zhi Hong Lan Dui Jue, it is possible the game may also be a port from that console, though at least one known level has been omitted.

Game Boy Advance version

A more simplified Game Boy Advance version exists which seemingly only has has two stages, the first being the last stage of the SNES version, and the last being the first stage of the SNES version. After these two stages is a boss battle that is exactly the same as the final Dracula boss in the SNES version, but the background is instead the same of the last level. Unlike the SNES version though, the final boss doesn't seem to take damage and eventually disappears, leaving it impossible for the playable to go any further and beat the game. Also unlike the SNES version, you don't transform into Greymon after collecting a strawberry, although a view inside of the ROM's graphics show that the transformation graphics are in there.

The game is evidently based on the same engine of other GBA titles from Sintax, including Rayman 4 and Crash Advance 4.

Trivia

  • The snow-based level appears to be exactly the same as the one in Mulan for Genesis.
