Mole Mania is a cult classic puzzle game for the original Game Boy.
Guide Muddy Mole through more than 200 screens full of puzzles to rescue his family from Jinbe the farmer.

Our remastered version, allows you to enjoy the game in full color for the first time ever in 30 years!

This new colourization brings together the incredible programming work by Marc Robledo himself, as well as sprite and graphics artistry work by kensuyjin33 who has worked with Marc in almost every colourization project. Their combined efforts shine on once again to bring forth this project to life, with carefully picked colours and attention to detail to make this the best version of Mole Mania to date.

As it's usual with romhacks, you need an original ROM of the game in order to apply the patch and convert the original monochrome GB ROM into "Mole Mania DX" for the Game Boy Color. Those interested in trying out this fan-made remastered colourization can do so by visiting Marc's website and providing your own ROM for Marc's online patcher to do its work and patch the ROM automatically with the DX romhack.

any way i can play this on real hardware but on a bigger screen ? like somekind of supernintendo gameboyplayer
Actually, Analogue Pocket is a decent Gameboy Color clone and will play the rom or real cart exactly the same, and you can get a dock for it to play it on a TV. You'll pay $$$ though.
 
I remember reading about this game in Club Nintendo (the German verison of Nintendo Power) back in the 90s. I made a quick Scan of the article to share with you guys. Also included a low quality english version which was auto-translated with Google Lens!
