Oh Snap, I've only ever heard good things about this game, like that it was the precursor for Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, and like that game was charming and a ton of fun in it's own right. Definitely gonna give this one a go.

Good boy, you beat me to the punch and stole the news. You could have written something personal as well, not just a simple "copy and paste" from another site...hehehe.

Just kidding...don't be upset.
As soon as I can, I will try it out on my pink DS Lite.

I'm actually curious to see what people think without me giving my own editorial.
But I have been playing the GBC prototype of this game (Gimmick Land, from one of the gigaleaks) and even with my limited Japanese it's pretty great. Will be nice to play the GBA upgrade in English.

At a first quick test it would seem to work very well:
1) on GBA flashcart (SuperCard SD), slot2 (DS Lite);
2) on GBARunner2 (default version) and TwilightMenu++, SD-slot (DSi XL).

I’m playing it via VC injection almost 6 hours in. I’m stuck at the gym

anyway does anyone have any idea how many gimmicks there are in the game? How many can you get from giving binkies to Kaizo?

I have been using this FAQ/Walkthrough:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gba/565819-tomato-adventure/faqs/18650

According to that there are

Spoiler

probably over a dozen gimmicks

for each of the two characters.

Patch doesn't work for me. Got my ROM directly off the official GBA cartridge, but the patcher keeps saying "Source ROM chechsum mismatch" to all patch version. It'll patch the game, and seems fine and translated, but when it gets to the Gimmick tutorial with Seremo the game crashes.

*Update*
Nevermind turns out the ROM was corrupted some how during the dumping. After 2 more tries finally got a copy that the patcher said was compatible and now works fine.
