Artoria Conversion Released Across SNES, GBA, and Now The Genesis Entry of Ghouls 'n Ghosts

A full Artoria character conversion has now been released across three different entries in the Ghouls ‘n Ghosts lineage, giving players multiple ways to experience Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (MD) and Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (SNES/GBA) with a fully redrawn heroine in place of Arthur.

Today’s new release is the Genesis/Mega Drive version, but this post celebrates the full trio now available!

These releases are:

The SNES and Genesis/MD hacks share the same core purpose:
A complete Artoria sprite and presentation swap, replacing Arthur with a redesigned female protagonist while keeping each game’s original gameplay fully intact. The GBA version is missing a few things to reach this goal (End Screens, dialogue), but hopefully I’ll get it there eventually.

Additional SNES Fix:
Aside from SRAM and non-SRAM patches, the SNES version also fixes the 1-Up behavior. It’s supposed to appear on the 32nd pot and then every subsequent 48th pot, but the game resets the pot counter on stage transitions and deaths — meaning you’d only ever see it by farming pots until the timer was nearly out. The fix keeps the counter persistent and updates the 1-Up sprite for Artoria.

Whether you prefer to experience the Genesis/Mega Drive entry, the SNES sequel, or the enhanced GBA port, Artoria is now fully playable across all three!
