Ending 1: Take three hours or longer to beat the game. Ending 2: Take between two and a half to under three hours to beat the game. Ending 3: Take between two hours to under two and a half to beat the game. Ending 4: Take between an hour and a half to under two hours to beat the game. Ending 5: Beat the game in less than an hour and a half.
So, if you're too late, (1) the King dies. Depending on how fast you are, you can (2) get a bag of money, (3) money & some stupid guy's job, (4) a box of jewels & the king's daughter (what the hell is with ownership?), (5) or a box of jewels with the king's daughter as well as becoming king (of who knows what). God dang king, gives everything away if he's not that close to death, yet turns stingy when he is at death's doorstep.
Ending 1-The programmers shoot you the finger and say, "You fucking suck." Ending 2-Ok, you saved the king. Now, go have a nice meal on him. Ending 3-Good job saving the king. Now, you got a job, and your first paycheck. Ending 4-You saved the king. Now, you can afford that Beverly Hills mansion. And his daughter's hand in marriage. Sweet deal. Ending 5-Well, that was quick. Set for life, daughter's hand in marriage, and the throne. Now, you're talkin'.
I remember a thousand years ago when I called the official Nintendo helpline and asked how many endings there were to this game. The manual tells you to finish within three days or something, so there's at least two, _right?_ Well, the guy on the line says there's only one. I ask if he was sure, and he confirms that there absolutely is only one end to the game. I didn't know what to say, why guess if you didn't know? If there was no info on the game in their... I assume there was some sort of offline 80's computer database they could search with Magellan, then just say so. I'm not paying you $1.99 a minute for my health! Anyhow, I found two endings and assumed it was pass/fail... then forgot to look into it for 35ish years.
the second best ending is actually the best ending in my mind...it seems believe able that the king would be so happy to give you jewels and his daughters hand over "you want jewels and a girl, right?" "yes." "okay."
In the Japanese version, the ending credits featured an extra portion for the cast of characters, right before the staff roll comes up. King of Poconioccory: Niccory V Princess: Josephine Niccory Butler: Dirty Echigoya Enemy Characters: Vigor Piccolo Struggle Piccollo Clockworker Type I Clockworker Type II Annoying Fly Obstinate Hang Man Obstacle Caterpillar Thunder Fiend Boss Characters: Wooly Phantom (Stages 1, 4, and 6) Hopping Dragon (Stages 3 and 5) Dixie Joe (Stages 2 and 7) Friends: Woocky Leading Actor: Kid Kakefu
dikegamer No, they are the small red and green marching creatures. The red ones keep walking, and the green ones turn away and do a hop. It's almost like the red and green Koopa Troopas from the Mario games.
hahaha Loved how he treats his daughter like a meaningless prize, "Oh so you wanted a glass of water and a princess, well I don´t have glasses, but hey, here´s this bitch take it and leave!"
The second worst ending is basically "You traversed the entire kingdom, collected seven different herbs, killed hundreds of enemies, braved soaring heights and dark depths, ran to the castle and saved the king. Congratulations. Here's some money; go get yourself a cheeseburger at McDonald's." You mean I did all that sh*t just for that? Thanks a lot.
2:54 3 Highness! I'm back already. Oh. You've Done it. With the herbs you'll be alright. Of course, look at these. Alright this yours. And kool. You will get a high post in my realm. What about me? I'm so down. But it is a happy ending all in all. Isn't it?
6:08 5 Hey! Wait up! What! That was so fast. Let's see the herbs please. Sure. It's this. Right? You want a box of jewels and a princess. Don't You? Yes sire. Hello!. Kool. You shall become a king. I've really done it! Haven't you done a bit too much? But it's nearly the end so... So this is the end. Isn't? So long everyone.
4:26 4 I'm tired. Eh. Have you forgotten something? Are you frightened of something...? What are you talking about? It's over. Ok. Here's the box of jewels. And... Hey. Come over here. Wow. She's cute and so beautiful. Father. He's so cute. Live forever as one. Highness. Thank you. It is a happy ending isn't it?
2 1:34 Highbess! I've come back. Oh. You Really Have come back. Do you have all the herbs? Vh huh. You' ve really done a good job. You shall be rewarded. Kool. Hooray! You are a royal Hero. I'M so Honored.
what are the times for the 5 endings? It looks like you have 3 hours before the king dies. He must be really sick and those herb must be damn good to restore him when he has only 3 hours to live.
Well, of course they are. That's part of the show. It's a script he writes after all, and it's his job. If you want a proper view of a game he reviews then it's better to just play it yourself. After all, your own opinion beats anyone else's in terms of taste.
1 I'M SO VERY SAD. What's happened?. The king has passed away, you came back too late. I tred so hard and still I just couldn't get back in time. The king understands now hard. You tried. You did your best
Has anybody who is saying how bad this game is actually played it? I just now played it or the first time and had no problems with the controls. It seemed like a decent game. Yeah the screen does scroll up if you jump too high but is not all the time. I can see how overblown and made up the AVGN reviews are now.

At 0:49 "The King understands how hard you tried..."
No he doesn't. He's fucking dead.
(In the best ending)
"Haven't you done too much?"
Thanks for the fucking gratitude.
I went through all that that trouble just to be given the middle finger salute?!
Kid kool in 2023 , sitting in a bar, drinking draft beer, while wicky is talking to the DJ on how to cheer Kool up to be happy again 🙂
Here's a better question. If the king needs 7 different herbs, why doesn't he send Kid Kool to the nearest KFC.
You are a royal hero man!
I came here because of the Angry Video Game Nerd,I think we all did!
***** me 2
ooooh cooool XD.
right
+The Nintendo sandgrownun No
i know this game because of a brazillian youtuber called Velberan!
i was expecting and ending where you're just barely too late and the king dies before your very eyes.
thr ultimate fuck you
Ending 1: Take three hours or longer to beat the game.

Ending 3: Take between two hours to under two and a half to beat the game.

*_I ' M S O V E R Y S A D._*
😂😂😂😂
Same.
This is a happy ending, isnt it?
I am not! Especially after getting paid a huge stack of cash for the game!
Ending 1-The programmers shoot you the finger and say, "You fucking suck."
Ending 2-Ok, you saved the king. Now, go have a nice meal on him.
Ending 3-Good job saving the king. Now, you got a job, and your first paycheck.
Ending 4-You saved the king. Now, you can afford that Beverly Hills mansion. And his daughter's hand in marriage. Sweet deal.
Ending 5-Well, that was quick. Set for life, daughter's hand in marriage, and the throne. Now, you're talkin'.
Yes Agreed completely!

AVGN "I went through that torture just to be given the middle finger salute"?
I tried so hAard and got so faaaaaaaaar, but in the end, it doesn't even maaAAaaterRRrrr!
I'm so sorry you had to play through the game 5 times. I actually am genuinely sorry.
the second best ending is actually the best ending in my mind...it seems believe able that the king would be so happy to give you jewels and his daughters hand over "you want jewels and a girl, right?" "yes." "okay."
It's almost like the last ending is like a "You cheated? Okay well"
*"Kid Kool is NOT cool!"*
*Throws the game cartridge
*The cartridge falls to the trash can
As shitty as this game was, at least the people that made it put effort into the endings, unlike most other NES games I'm sure we all know :)
In the Japanese version, the ending credits featured an extra portion for the cast of characters, right before the staff roll comes up.

I Noticed the Word Piccolo in there....O.O Is He a Namek?
dikegamer No, they are the small red and green marching creatures. The red ones keep walking, and the green ones turn away and do a hop. It's almost like the red and green Koopa Troopas from the Mario games.
I remember the first ending, i cried with tears of anger and sadness of my time and paitence on this game.
Paitence test: GOD MODE
I like how the text boxes don't go away, it looks like windows on a PC XD
Any ending to this game is a happy one, 'cause, well, it's the end of the game.
so wait, this hero gets a princess AND a position in power? hot diggity! where can I find this kingdom?
...just walking in there and seeing the empty bed fills your heart with grief and sorrow...
Why is Hank Hill the king's attendant?
That song is now permanently burned into my brain...
All the King needed the whole time was shrooms and weed.
hahaha Loved how he treats his daughter like a meaningless prize, "Oh so you wanted a glass of water and a princess, well I don´t have glasses, but hey, here´s this bitch take it and leave!"
The credits theme is pretty good.
those herbs being thrown are stuck in my head forever
I'd like to forget ever renting that game back in the days.
The princess is an object of reward to the kid
Kool: I'm so honored.
...yeah, sure sounds like it -_-
@nadavxp lol I just had a save state at the end and used speed throttling. But yeah, playing this game even once tests your patience.
I finished the game, but did not have the slightest idea it has 5 endings 😱. I'm quite surprised.
So you're telling me the King dies because he didn't have what he needed to get high?
The second worst ending is basically "You traversed the entire kingdom, collected seven different herbs, killed hundreds of enemies, braved soaring heights and dark depths, ran to the castle and saved the king. Congratulations. Here's some money; go get yourself a cheeseburger at McDonald's." You mean I did all that sh*t just for that? Thanks a lot.
Somebody needs to make voice overs of those ending dialogues.
The 5th/worst ending makes the bad ending of Castlevania II more darker and bleak.
Such a beautiful game
Now I wish Psycho Fox had something like this.
Has anyone noticed how the king and his servant have more detail than kid kool?
Golgo 13 already did that, and that game was also made by Vic Tokai.
Is it me or did the King's coffin look more like a treasure chest?
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
avgn send me- 5 endings? not kool
Live forever ... AS ONE! *fuses Princess and Kid Kool together* ITS NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL IS IT STEVE?!
The worst ending, to quote AVGN. -
"I went through all that torture just to be given the middle-finger salute?!"
0:15 The Middle Finger Salute
I came here after reading a comment about the good ending on the AVGN video of this game. I wasn't expecting 5 different endings though.
"Kid Kool *_IS NOT COOL!_* "
TBONE2004 Never thought I'd find you here...
5!?!? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDING ME
Actually it sounds like the first ending has different music.
2:54 3
Highness! I'm back already.
Oh. You've Done it.
With the herbs you'll be alright.
Of course, look at these.
Alright this yours.
And kool. You will get a high post in my realm.
What about me? I'm so down.
But it is a happy ending all in all.
Isn't it?
... I actually got here from his/Mike's video on leftover Ghostbusters games.
2:28 Just that punt bag of money? Hell, Kid Kool found probably thousands of money bags on his quest. What a greedy king.
6:08 5
Hey! Wait up!
What! That was so fast.
Let's see the herbs please.
Sure. It's this. Right?
You want a box of jewels and a princess. Don't You?
Yes sire.
Hello!.
Kool. You shall become a king.
I've really done it!
Haven't you done a bit too much?
But it's nearly the end so...
So this is the end. Isn't?
So long everyone.
even worse, if said kids friend was insane enough to actually get the perfect ending.... and you get the worst.....
0:27 "So you're saying I beat the game, but I didn't beat it? Fuck you."
2:13 - 3:39 - 5:11 - 6:50 there i just saved you the trouble of watching him throw the damn herds... >.
WHY IT TAKES SO LONG FOR HIM TO HAND OVER THE FUCKING HERBS! GIVE THEM ALL AT ONCE GODDAMNIT!
4:26 4
I'm tired.
Eh. Have you forgotten something?
Are you frightened of something...?
What are you talking about?
It's over.
Ok. Here's the box of jewels.
And... Hey. Come over here.
Wow. She's cute and so beautiful.
Father. He's so cute.
Live forever as one.
Highness. Thank you. It is a happy ending isn't it?
This T. Yan guy... did he put his signature on the royal servant's pants?
2
1:34 Highbess! I've come back.
Oh. You Really Have come back.
Do you have all the herbs?
Vh huh.
You' ve really done a good job. You shall be rewarded.
Kool. Hooray!
You are a royal Hero.
I'M so Honored.
Anyone noticed the "T Yan" on the shorts of the guy in the middle?
SO THIS IS THE END ISN’T?
you went throught all that s*** for us viewers... THANK YOU
The king looks stoned!! lol.."Kid did u bring me back the...cronic?
Super difficult game. My friend and I would take turns doing levels.
@Andr286 probably happens offscreen.
The guy in the middle reminds me of Harold on the Red Green show.
By the way, there are actually 6 endings, not 5.
anyone else get here from AVGN's video about Kid Kool?
WHAT?! 5 DIFFERENT ENDINGS?!!
As the AVGN once said you f up the give you the middle finger salute.
The castle kind of looks like the castle on Broadway's Kingdoms album lol
The programmers are proud? I would've hidden my head in shame and name
what are the times for the 5 endings? It looks like you have 3 hours before the king dies.
He must be really sick and those herb must be damn good to restore him when he has only 3 hours to live.
The game has Very Good Music that time
"What's happened" cool people don't need grammar.
@Nintendough r/woooosh
Kool*
@Nintendough Woooosh is the sound of the joke going over your head.
@Nintendough I'm not explaining a very obvious joke. Figure it out yourself.
@Nintendough Why?
How can the endings be difference? Has it to do whit the time?
I actually love this game :P
(But thank god for save states...)
Love it or hate it... Nah, just hate it.
KOOL,
HOORAY!
@CaptainPimpSlap This makes me wonder if Linkin Park ever played this game.
And the king is feels better
the dialogue in this game really does sound like something that a 3rd grader wrote.
@BellaFalk95 yup
"What's happened?"
Well, of course they are. That's part of the show. It's a script he writes after all, and it's his job. If you want a proper view of a game he reviews then it's better to just play it yourself. After all, your own opinion beats anyone else's in terms of taste.
Hey wait up!!! I wonder if he meant wake up.
I somehow got here from a Kirby video.
1 I'M SO VERY SAD.
What's happened?.
The king has passed away, you came back too late.
I tred so hard and still I just couldn't get back in time.
The king understands now hard. You tried. You did your best
I think about everyone is.
It sounds more cool when it’s spelled with a K
Dude! Thats nothing. I takes hard mind to finish this game 5 times for each ending. Now thats a true torment :p
arranged marriages in 8bit land ...
Has anybody who is saying how bad this game is actually played it? I just now played it or the first time and had no problems with the controls. It seemed like a decent game. Yeah the screen does scroll up if you jump too high but is not all the time. I can see how overblown and made up the AVGN reviews are now.
how does a king die if he is immortal?
''I am so very sad'' lol
I could just find all that shit in my backyard. Why go around the world.
@TheIdeaGuyXD omg youre a real hero! here, take a box of yellow jewels and a doll princess!
Is that Fanboy from Freakazoid?
7 herbs, not 11.
