Alex Kidd: Rootbeer version

[Admin]

It has been long known the regular version of Alex Kidd in Miracle World sports the Kidd munching on a rice cake in between levels on the map screen. The SMS 2 version of the game has a hamburger in it's place. This was obciouslt an attempt to localize it more. I guess some Americans had no idea what he was eating.

This brings me to question about a supposed version which had Alex drinking rootbeer. This is only a rumor of course, as I don't think it has been confirmed yet. But if any of you, Bock included (I'm sure you know more than me on this subject), could shed some light, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I read about this rumor in the SMS FAQ and it says something about the cart being reported in Puerto Rico,
well i live in P.R. and ask most of the guys i knew that had SMS and the only 2 versions we have seen are the rice cake and the hamburger. Probally its just a rumor. ;D

I think that there is no third version. I always thought that Alex Kidd was holding a mug of beer until someone else said it was a rice cake. You just have to see it there.

i had always thought on mine he was drinking a root beer because it looks like a mug with foam at the top. i may be wrong

Can you upload a photo?

[Admin]

Yes, please take a photo of some sorts. I'm very interested in seeing this.

I would like to call attention to this again, as I still would love to see a pic. Many believe it to be a false rumor but I always like to keep an open mind with these things.
