I am curious about ROM hacks for any of the Bonk games. I saw that Keith Courage has a ROM Hack now and I'd like to see something similar for Bonk.
For instance, here's an idea for a hack I'd love to see:
Hack Bonk's Revenge to allow Bonk to do the rapid superspin (like he does in Bonk's Adventure) and change his sprite's design to his look in Bonk's Adventure. I would love to see how this would change the game.
You could also hack Bonk's Adventure to change Bonk's sprite and spin to the slow spin version seen in Bonk's Revenge. It may make the game more challenging! Now you just can't spin through the levels, but you have to time your attacks more carefully or you'll get damaged.
Also I'd like to see a hack to allow stage selects and power-ups in the start menu screen (like they did with the Keith Courage hack).

I've never tried it, so I don't know if it works, but Bonk's adventure supposedly has a level select cheat. "Highlight the "Quit" option at the mode selection screen. Hold Down/Left + I + II and press Run. A menu that with speed, jumping, sound test, and level select options will appear." I don't know why you would want to change Bonk's sprite in Revenge to his Adventure sprite when the Revenge sprite is superior. They even changed it in the Amiga version.

Yeah! Well, okay not the original sprite, but the spinning! Bring that back for Revenge and Bonk III!

I don't know why you would want to change Bonk's sprite in Revenge to his Adventure sprite when the Revenge sprite is superior. They even changed it in the Amiga version. I love Bonk's appearance in Bonk's Adventure. He looks like a barely evolved caveman, very 1990s and crude funny like the old Ren & Stimpy cartoons. It's an acquired taste, I know.
Anyway, another idea I have is that you can choose between these two "versions" of Bonk at the title screen of the games. So you can decide which Bonk sprite to play as before you start the game (Adventure Bonk or Revenge Bonk).
Another good idea for a hack would be a two player simultaneous mode with the two Bonks.

I like the original sprite too, but I think it would look out of place in Revenge since that game was given an graphical upgrade. Everything's much more colourful.
