Kirby's Adventure/TBL

The following article is a Text Table for Kirby's Adventure.

Text Files

How To Draw

The table file for Kirby's Adventure is available. However, this table file is only compatible with the "How To Draw Kirby" movie when you start the game. Created by Memetchilove using FCEUX's Pattern Table Viewer, Notepad, and WindHex32.

The "How To Draw Kirby" text offset is: 0x7A978 - 0x7A9D5

Gameplay text

The following text uses UPPER & lower case font, and while actual font/graphics is same, its position on PPUview is different, thus requiring a different table file. A few notes about this and ones below: Some of them are all over the place so either scroll down or use search function a lot. Also some words are repeated or shortened to save space and when changing text it's possible that game glitches up, so make sure to make backups before editing. Also in table files I don't include space(" ") tile because its not always same and changes depending where text is/in what screen is it on.

16x8 Text #1

This is for text that uses larger, 16x8 font. Since text is two tiles in height, I used lowercase letters for top and uppercase letters for bottom, so if you edit text, you need to change both to same.

Text locations:

0x5CC80 = Warp Star

0x768C0 = Egg Catcher

0x77AC0 = Crane Fever

0x78300 = Quick Draw

..Possibly more?

16x8 Text #2

Same as above, but only used in credits.

Text location:

0x27B30 = Credits
