Golden Sun: Golden Retriever is a mod for the Game Boy Advance that serves as a humorous April Fools' adaptation of the original Golden Sun. It introduces a lighthearted narrative featuring dogs, modified non-player character dialogue, and quirky animal facts. The gameplay remains similar, with subtle changes to enemy encounters. The mod concludes after the Vault area, reverting to the original game thereafter.
A small adventure built off the base of Golden Sun for April Fools. It plays out similarly the original game, however there is more dogs and other quirky changes.
Features:
- Dogs
- Some altered NPC dialogue and mind read dialogue to fit the theme.
- "Fun Dog Facts" and other altered book dialogue throughout Vale and Vault
- Minor changes to enemy encounters up to Vault. Battles aren't more difficult but the changes are enough to be noticeable.
The mod ends after Vault. It can still be played beyond that point, but will play like the original game with little to no changes.
Disclaimer:
This is mod ends after Vault. While you can play beyond that point, there is no adjustments made and plays exactly like the orginal Golden Sun 1.
