Hudson's Adventure Island

Adventure Island ROM Hack themed on diabetes advocate Wilford Brimley

Famicom Mini: Takahashi Meijin no Bouken-jima is a Game Boy Advance video game released in 2004 by Nintendo. It is a conversion of Hudson Soft's Famicom game Adventure Island. The game was not released in America or Europe, and thus was exclusive to Japan. It was part of the Famicom Mini Series that re-released a variety of classic Famicom games for the Game Boy Advance.

The Takahashi Meijin 3D conversion! After 17 years, a large revival has come for a full renewal! Running through the adventure island of all eight worlds, to rescue Tina who has been kidnapped! Not only has it become 3D, new elements have been added to further power-up the game!

In the South Pacific, Master Higgins lives peacefully wearing only a grass skirt and a cap. That is until the Evil Witch Doctor decides to capture the Princess Leilani and hold her as his own. It's up to Master Higgins to gather throwing axes, fireballs and skateboards in order to aid his noble quest. The game is a side scroller, Master Higgins moves across the screen from left to right and finds his power-ups in giant eggs. This includes a skateboard which results in a great speed enhancement - until Master Higgins gets hit and loses his power. If he is not on a skateboard a hit means instant death. Another game mechanic is starvation which gets indicated through a meter which steadily decreases. If it hits zero the hero dies and the only way to fill it up is by collecting food on the way. Bosses await him at the end of levels, all the way to the Evil Witch Doctor himself.
