I loved this game as a kid too,I grew up with the U.S Version smartball,than i never knew that years later when i played the japanese version,i was surprised that i never knew at first that the storyline was cut when sony image localized this in the U.S
Oh and fun fact,this game was developed by Gamefreak who would later go on to create they're popular pokemon franchise ^^
Thanks for sharing this retro-gaming experience. Note that some sprites and sounds are the almost the same as in ´blues journey´ a game for the Neo Geo from 1990. Both are GREAT games.
LOL I got this game for free today. I was at a flea market booth and I bought some other games and the Mexican guy gave me this and some SNES sports games for free.
They cut out all the story and I think a level or two for the American release. It was called "Smart Ball" in the US. They were CRAZY. This Japanese version rocks!
Wow, the Japanese version looks better! I really liked this game because of how different it was. I mean, what other games to you stick to surfaces like that?

The game isn't even hard.
I beat it when I was 10 years old to be honest. The whole game alone probily takes about a half hour to finish.

I may do a play through of this game.
The cut parts were the intro story and that mini town you went through.

I remember this game... I never new the story behind being the blob. I like the US version better.

Why a smart ball?

Yeah it is a shame they took this out. Jerry was turned into a smart ball, It seems kinda goofey.

It's a shame the US version took out the mini stage with the vlliage also. As well for the story intro to explain why Jerry was turned into a blob.

They made a Jerry Boy 2? I loved Smartball. I wish the story had been the exact same as in Jerry Boy for the U.S., but oh well. Still a great game.

GameFreak made this game!
I remember seeing Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori's names in the credits.
I THINK Junichi Masuda but that may be for Jerry Boy 2.

I am gonna do a video of Jerry Boy 2 after Cutman.

Sadly, Junichi Masuda wasn't the music composer for either of the Jerry Boy games. It was Yasuhiko Fukuda for JB1 and Yoshinori Sunahara for JB2.

Thank you for being civil about your correction when I said "I think"
Most people ignore that part and go down to insulting.
Thank goodness SOMEONE "follows the rules" here....
