This is an English translation patch for Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippo Dan (スライムもりもりドラゴンクエスト3 大海賊としっぽ団, Suraimu Morimori Doragon Kuesuto 3: Daikaizoku to Shippo Dan).

Rocket Slime 3DS is a spin-off of the mainline Dragon Quest series following the adventures of the breavest, most intimating, SubLIME.

It follows the adventures of the Dragon Quest Slime Rocket and his friends while he tries to retrieve the Rainbow Orbs stolen by Don Clawleone. The Rainbow Orbs cause havoc among the world due to their ability to give sentience to landmarks.

Rocket fights against the odds with each passing day the Platywag's fleet growing ever more expansive and deadly. All hope is not lost, although, as Rocket has a secret up his sleeve: his gigantic warship.

The main draw of Rocket Slime 3DS is the ship battles, where two ships duke it out for naval supremacy using various objects crafted, traded, and collected while on land. Swords and catnip are excellent for shooting out of cannons.

User guide

Translation notes

This is not the final version - some in-game text may appear to go off of the screen or some items or quests might have some random not English words in them. However the game is fully playable and is very enjoyable to play as-is.

Gameplay Tips

Ninja Slimes:

• Green: Trade for 8 items
• Blue: Beat Sphinx of Flat Desert again
• Red: Complete the Pink Sanguini ship part set

If you want to move faster:

• Try moving with Elasto Blasts, it's a pretty sizable speed increase – especially when it counts in ship battles.
• Don't rotate the items on your head while walking or standing still, there is a large window of being unable to move if you do so. Instead, jump – and while midair – change the order of items on your head. This will retain momentum and switch the order.

How to kill things faster:

• If something is at a far range, hold an item and release it while performing an elasto blast.
• Spikes are overpowered. Hold an enemy and stand in front of a spike to make an inescapable death trap by repeatedly catching and throwing either enemies or players.

How to stop losing all the time:

• Using the midair hover can dodge most attacks.
• Chimera wings will defeat any enemy in a single shot.
• Collect items constantly in levels to upgrade your ship's hull and ammunition. Explosive ammo is especially powerful.

Wireless connection is spotty with other players:

• Disabling luma's in-game patching setting may help with desyncs.
• The game often freezes for unknown reasons while starting multiplayer rooms, just keep trying.

Screenshots

Changelog

v1.0

General Changes:

• Change version number in title screen image to V1.0 RC1.
• Remove unnecessary newline in "Shiveral Habor" map label.
• Tweak some request text to prevent weirdness when viewing them in the pause menu.
• Ship part shop menu: Change 'All' option to instead read 'Browse all parts'. (The reason for this is to better suit the alignment of the "NEW" image - but this should be more clear/descriptive regardless).
• Change "Prize" textbox and request list label to instead read "Reward Details".
• Net shop dialogue: change Agreement to Announcements (the online/streetpass agreements are not in the game itself, this option seems to be for Square Enix announcements regarding net shop events, etc).
• Translate a hardcoded speaker name (Mr. DL) in announcement messages. Note that this will not translate the message itself, as that is received from the internet and cannot be changed.
• Change "dias" to "pedestal" as it was spelled incorrectly (correct form being "dais") and it seems more like a more fitting/common word anyways.
• Remove C-stick mention from tutorial (the game was released before it existed, so it doesn't really need to be there)
• Insert a space between the "Request" text and the request number in the request menu (before: Request10, after:Request 10).
• Trade window item names are now properly spaced.
• Request GUI: change "Place" label to "Location".
• Minor revisions to crew tactic descriptions.
• Credits: Unabbreviated Square Enix text, moved KOICHI SUGIYAMA to the next line.
