[GBA] Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie (ARv3, NTSC)

[Knight of Time]

Hi guys,

Lately I've been playing the first game in the Magical Quest trilogy for GBA, however, there's an area in 4-1 that is really giving me problems, where you have to use the grappling hook to catch one of those grey, round grappling blocks in mid-jump (falling in this particular spot is dangerous, since losing a life in any way in this game makes you go back to the start of the level unlike the sequels x_x)...now, I've seen a moon jump code in Codebreaker that works if the player presses A, but it seems getting this converted to ARv3 is proving to be tough, if it helps anyone, here's the Codebreaker code:

826CFD33 42DE
BC5C45D0 CC3D

So yeah, could someone please look into making a Moon Jump code for ARv3 that works for the A button?

Thanks in advance.

Code is encrypted so we will need the Master code to decrypt it to a raw address.

Oops, here's the Master Code in Codebreaker format:

9BEBAD2A 68B3

Sorry I forgot it earlier.

I made one real quick from scratch:

Moon Jump

Did that health code work for the sequel?

Edit: Let me know if it's too fast/slow.

Yeah, I tested that code, it works, thanks.

I also tested the Moon Jump code for this game, unfortunately it didn't work for me (for some reason, I've had little luck with getting a moon jump code to work on a few of the other platform games I have).

That's odd. I just decrypted the code you posted in the first post, and it decrypts to the same address that I used for the moon jump. I'm on the stage after the first boss and the code still works so I doubt a pointer is needed ...

[Knight of Time]

Oh...for some reason, my AR wouldn't save the entry of the last line of the Moon Jump code; that might be the reason why it didn't work for me.

Would it be easier to make that code from scratch, maybe?

[Demonic722]

I modified the code in post #4, try it again.

[Knight of Time]

Alright, I tried the code again, but that first line still was keeping me from inserting and saving the second line on my AR, so I tried the second line by itself...however, while that code works, it makes the player jump so high that you can't get them to fall back down to the ground.

[Demonic722]

The first line performs the 8-bit If AND (Single)...the only alternative at the moment is this:

Moon Jump
29FB5436 E55AE3F0
D3738855 1E99C148

This code will allow you to moon jump, but not in the directions of your choice (example: you can't hold A then press left to jump to the left, you'll have to release the A button first). This code allows for both directions (left and right):

Moon Jump v2
29FB5436 E55AE3F0
D3738855 1E99C148
82C04056 AC96F369

I tested the long version of the moon jump code in the area with the fourth boss (the giant bird that you have to defeat while throwing its eggs back at him before they hatch), and it works great, but has good and bad points:

For a good point, it can save you from being blown off the screen to your doom against the fourth boss when he does the wind attack, however, a couple of bad points are, it won't help you against the downward wind currents that appear in one of the areas of level 4 if you get caught in one (you'll still fall to your doom), and if you get hit, this code can sometimes work against you.

But other than that, thanks for making the code, Demonic722.
