Hack description

This hack changes and fixes a bunch of things, here's what it does to it:
-Restores the cross back to the coffin from the Prototype version.
-Restores the animation where Scrooge's tail is wagging while he's ducking.
-Restores the Transylvania music track from the Prototype version to play on the final level.
-Fixes the eye of the native enemy's sprite.
-Changes the color of Magica De Spell's dress from purple to dark gray to make her look more like her appearances in both the cartoon and the comic books.
-Changes the colors of the Kronk alien enemy from the Moon level to make him look more like his appearance in the cartoon.
-Changes the color of the top part of Gizmoduck's suit from red to dark gray to match the rest of his body.

The 0xED hex editor & the Tile Molestor editor were used to make this hack.

Want to thank rainponcho for helping on fixing up the game.

Mostly WorksG30FF2020-02-22Version Final

The graphics changes are really neat, however in every emulator I've tried, the change to the Transylvania stage's music in the last level does not work. It just plays the stock Transylvania music instead of the prototype music. If that can be fixed, this hack would be excellent, but as it stands, the minor graphics changes, especially the change to Gizmoduck, are welcome.

Almost perfect, but...BlazeHeatnix2018-08-08Version Final

For the most part, this is a nice hack to have. But there's one thing that bothers me: the alien enemy in the final appears in the TV show as Overlord Bulvan. So having it changed to the Xenomorph-looking prototype enemy loses that connection. If this hack gets revised, I suggest changing the enemy back to Bulvan and recoloring him to be green, like in the show.
