Game Description:
Konami Wai Wai World is an action game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is a mashup of Konami game franchises and characters.

The main characters, Konami Man and Konami Lady, are original for the game, but make special appearances in other Konami games. The playable characters included are Goemon from the Goemon series, Simon from the Castlevania series, Moai from the Gradius series (not to be confused with Moai-kun, as that game was released 2 years after this one), Fuuma from Getsu Fuuma Den, Mikey from The Goonies, and Kong from King Kong 2.

Its gameplay is more akin to Castlevania in terms of platforming. It also has a vertical shooting stage featuring TwinBee and Gradius.
Hack Description:
The camera in Wai Wai World 1 would only move as the player approached the left/rightmost quarter of the screen.
It was frustrating as it created many blind jumps.

However, I have labeled this Improvement, because I realized the limitation may have been implement for the two-player mode, in order to allow some space between the players.

I have included Game Genie codes, as an alternate in you case you want to choose, or to play with an original copy.
