This is because, while Nintendo own the copyright to the ''The Legendary Starfy'' "Game Scenario" (which refers to the game's script) and the [[wikipedia:ROM image\|ROM image]]s of the games, many fan translation projects choose to release a stand-alone file (such as an IPS) containing the patch of the game.

Extras, such as [[Stuff]] and [[Picture Book\|Trading Cards]] descriptions, were also improvised. The only untranslated parts of this patch are the [[Minigames]] in multiplayer mode; single player is fully translated. The goal of this patch is to have all the English text, however inaccurate it may be, hacked in completely, where it can then be polished later. Dimedime takes credit for all the ROM hacking aspects and the translations not covered by SomeUselessTranslations' playthrough.
