This is a fan-made ROM hack, first released in May 2023 by “kkzero“, of the Super Game Boy-enhanced Kirby’s Dream Land 2 that converts the game for use on the Game Boy Color. And it certainly does this great game justice and really makes those colours pop! In fact: it is much more colourful, and looks even better, than the Super Game Boy version. So much so that it is definitely the best way to play Kirby’s Dream Land 2, IMHO.

The enhanced version of Kirby’s Dream Land 2 is a real treat on the Super Game Boy.

Marble Madness, Game Boy Advance
The Game Boy Advance conversion of Marble Madness was released as part of a double pack with another classic Atari Games arcade game, Klax, in 2005 by DSI Games.

The original black and white Game Boy version of the classic Marble Madness was published by Mindscape in 1991. I’m not a hundred percent sure who developed it, but it could be Tengen as they are mentioned in the copyright small print on the back of the box and on the title screen.
