Here's one. The translation is.. sort of selectively worse in places? Like, Kirby always sort of had a B-/C+ translation at best, but the Ultra localizer could've at least cross-checked a few established names. I have to wonder who looked at "Mekkai" and decided, "yeah, that's not a rough draft at all, send it to print." And Iron Mom is Iron MAM now? Either that's a typo or a bad Iron Man reference that undoubtedly wasn't intended. Most of TGCO treasures either still retain their mistakes or were overcorrected ("Phanto Mask"). And if it's not character or item names, the location names are heavily truncated from what they should be ("Galactic Nova" should be "Galaxtic COMET" Nova,etc.). Just about the only improvement was the clarity on one of Marx's lines, because just about everything was better in the original. Revenge of Meta Knight is another one but honestly the original script still reads better for the most part and there's an even closer fan-translation out there if you're curious: pastebin.com/tCi5N400
