Okay, so I picked up the Japanese Mario vs. DK today.
Pretty good, not as good as DK '94, but competent and fun. I played through all of World 1 and 2, careful to replay levels to beat the high scores and get stars as I go.
I reach DK in World 2, die once, then fight him again and win. The high score to beat is 23000; I get 24200.
I don't get get a star.
I'm confused. WTF?! Do you not get stars for beating the high score on DK levels? I check World 1 and see that, no, you do get stars on DK stages. Distraught, I fight DK a few more times, getting between 23000-24200 several times and getting no star. Finally, I get 24400. It registers as a new high score .. . but still no star.
I beat Stage 3-1. I get a high score and a star. I exit back to the title screen.
STARS: 16/17
Congratulations, NST, you have managed to miscode:
if (user_score > high_score) {
star_received[world][stage] = TRUE;
total_stars++;
}
So. I'm now permanently locked out of the six secret - and reportedly far better - worlds.
I want Nintendo to recall the game; barring that, I want my money back. And I want NST to go to fucking hell.
I am upset.
Did anything like this ever happen to someone with the U.S. version?
