    Default Riceballs and Hamburgers in Alex Kidd...

    What is with this whole thing over Alex Kidd eating a riceball or a hamburger in Miracle World? I don't often see the hamburger. In fact, my North American copy of Miracle World has the riceball in it. Is this uncommon or anything?

    Alex eating a hamburger only appears in the built-in BIOS versions of Alex Kidd in Miracle World on a few late Master Systems and the majority of SMSIIs.

    All the cartridge versions have him eating a riceball regardless of region, there was a rumour that a South American version that him eating something else but turned out to be false.

    Onigiri is damn good. I lived off that stuff when I was a poor student in Japan.

    What exactly does it taste like? I would imagine it's like eating...a ball of stick white rice?

    ^Hmmmm dunked in soy sauce and wasabi I imagine they'd be good. (Probably similar to sushi, which already often has rice in it, or at least the vegetarian sushi often has rice)

    I gotta go to the local sushi place for their all-u-can-eat night.... What an awesome to spend a Wed. night

    The rice needs to be marinated in sushi or rice vinegar. You can add stuff to the innards too like fish, meats, even SPAM!

    It looks like you ate better than I did in college. Ramen noodles aren't even really food, but I couldn't beat the price. Then I moved up to hamburger helper, and then I decided to start reading recipes.

    I'm glad to see I'm not going insane!

    Someone did a TAS of Miracle Land, which, of course, featured the Riceball... I did a doublecheck on my SMSII to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.

    No, it's more like a sushi roll with no filling.

    Sweetened sticky rice is used very similar to that of sushi. (short grain white rice mixed with a solution of rice vinegar and sugar)

    Good plain or with various dipping sauces. (soy sauce, tempura dipping sauce, or teriyaki sauce)
