Calligraphy Bounty (Game)

Calligraphy Bounty is a platforming game published onto the ATBW C4 on May 22, 2006 by Blacc Corporation without license from Calligraphy Studios or ATBW Label Networks. It uses the same sound engine as Squirrel King, except that the game was originally designed rather than being sourced from that game. The sound engine was eventually sourced by AEG Corp in 2012 to be used for their games Telefone Pole and Guitar Player, and eventually by CKD Industries Inc in 2019 for their games Deer King and Cup King and in 2021 for Y Levi Bros., all of which are also bootleg titles.

Unlike these later titles however, Calligraphy Bounty does not directly reuse any songs from Squirrel King, but instead created custom songs from this sound engine. The throw and jump sounds however are from squirrel king directly.

Gameplay
The game stars two calligraphy deer characters who walk on their hind legs. Even though Artie appears on the game's cover art, he does not appear anywhere in the game. The player either plays as Aluminum Tip or Gold Tip, the latter of which is not a real Calligraphy Deer character. The player must throw crates and fireballs at enemies and defeat bosses. There are seven levels, with each one containing three stages. In terms of gameplay, it mirrors that of Adventures of Brusky The Wedgehead on the A64 in that the characters are not able to run and the only way of defeating enemies in the game is by throwing items (particularly crates) in both of these games.

Yoshi's Island Hack
On November 15, 2006, a hack version of the game was released titled Yoshi's Island. Players can either play as Green Yoshi or Yellow Yoshi, which replace Aluminum Tip and Gold Tip respectively, though this time around you cannot change between the two characters. The game uses graphics from the GBA re-release of the game, though the Yoshi sprites are original. The first level is based on World 1 Level 7. and the second one is based on World 3 Level 1, but the two-level designs are original. Tap-Tap the red nose serves as the boss in both of these levels. Despite its overhauled appearance however, the gameplay was left unchanged and as such, Yoshi is not able to swallow enemies, throw eggs, or flutter jump like in the original games and he instead must throw crates at enemies.

Paw Patrol Game Hack
On October 21, 2013, another hack version of the game was released titled Paw Patrol, where the two characters are replaced with Marshall and Chase. Marshall replaces Aluminum Tip and Chase replaces Gold Tip. The first two levels are changed to Adventure Bay; Adventure Bay Act 1 and Adventure Bay Act 2. Despite its overhauled appearance however, the gameplay was left unchanged, which means that the gadgets that they have are non-existent and the only way to stop enemies is to throw crates and fireballs at them. The boss in the first two levels is Mayor Humdinger.

The rest of the game was unchanged and after Adventure Bay Act 2, all of the levels and enemies the game is from are intact, and this includes Streaks, Cowdrills, Grabbers, etc., from the Calligraphy Deer Series, and the bosses from all levels past Adventure Bay Act 2 are intact.
