As anyone reading this might know, the US/EU Super Gameboy Version is superior to other versions of the game because

• it has the health glitch
• the glitch route can be done on it
• fewer enemies than on GB and Japanese SGB

Unfortunately it proves to be very difficult to get a cartridge of this version. This thread will be used as a knowledge base / to discuss how to best hunt for the SGB version.

Country codes: (DMG = Gameboy game YS = Game specific code Last letters = region specific code) What is really odd is that the SGB labeled cart turned out to be GB. There may be a chance that there are a gazillion versions, imagine 1.0 GB, 1.1 SGB, 1.2 SGB(different title screen now). However, if this was true, that 1.1 can't do health bug.

DMG-YS-UKV = Unknown

DMG-YS-UKV-2 = Unknown = Has been seen with Original GB label

DMG-YS-NOE-1 = seen with german text alongside on the cover "Herausragende Seite" + SGB label = Plain Gameboy

DMG-YS-USA = May be either or

DMG-YS-FAH = Seen with french text on the cover + Original Gameboy label = Plain Gameboy

DMG-YS-ITA = Unknown = Was seen with Original Gameboy label

Right now, I'm trying to contact various ebayers to ask them to check their title screen (since the SGB version has a different look on the title screen). I have not gotten much feedback from them yet, but will update the above country code list as I get more infos.

Ebayers that I contacted:

• trollandtoadstore (unable to provide info)

• retro_game_freak

• japanvideogamers (had a GB title screen)

• durchgespieltpunktcom

• oddsonfun

• ps2-guru

• e.games (unable to provide info)

• gameboy-guru

• pokeroy (said it looks like GB when played on GB, but looks like SGB when played on GBA SP) <-- wtf? His cart is DMG-YS-USA

Ebayers that I could not contact:

• lukiegames (has too many messages in his inbox)

Amazon sellers I contacted:

• somethinginmyeye

I think pokeroy's information is erroneous. As far as I have tested with emulator, the game's background doesn't just toggle back and forth depending what system you use.

I'm really confused though...
