Conker's Pocket Tales

Remember when Conker was originally a cutesy, kid-friendly mascot? Neither do we.

Conker's Pocket Tales is a top-down puzzle-type game where Conker has to retrieve all his birthday presents (and his girlfriend Berri), which were taken by the Evil Acorn. The game was supposed to release alongside a much bigger Nintendo 64 game, Twelve Tales, but alas, that one was canceled and retooled into Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Unseen Graphics#

In-Game	Full

The bonus rooms that are unlocked by collecting invitations contain graphics at the top which can't be seen, since the camera can't scroll far enough.

Version Differences#

To do: Compare level layouts, sprite changes, and gameplay differences.

Unlike most dual-mode Game Boy Color games, the GB version of Pocket Tales isn't just a monochrome version of the game. It appears to be a completely different build of the game. The two versions feature completely different level layouts and gameplay changes.

Save Warning#

• Only save data for one version can be saved on the Game Pak at a time. This warning will be displayed on boot if you try switching between the two versions.

Super Game Boy Border#

• Exclusive to the GB version is this colourful birthday party themed border with balloons and presents.

Logos#

• The "Nintendo Presents" animation is slightly different and has a sound effect in the GB version.
• The Rare logo is static in the GB version and spins in the GBC version. "Copyright" was changed to "©".

• The GBC version added some animation to the stills. It also features an additional scene of Conker crying.
