I have read this thread with a lot of interest. On the one hand I can not believe Nintendo would release a faulty colored Manhole by accident. On the other hand I can not believe the inside of the case would discolor this evenly UNLESS someone tried to discolor the case on purpose. The outside of the case looks like it has gone through something ugly, to say the least. The inside looks pristine though. I don't know what to make of this. Strange ...

Well, we did find a few WS Fire games that were in the color of Popeye, so it's entirely possible there was a factory mix-up here as well, giving a short run of NWS Manholes the DKJR color somewhere in the manufacturing process until someone corrected it. There are also a few DK Multi Screens with the info on the back printed upside down, so even the mighty Nintendo messes up now and then. The skeptics here haven't given any logical reason why it would be simple discoloration. My first impression was that it was sun fade, but now I'm leaning toward factory error.

Hi Ash
If you see on the inside of this game, there is a print of the letter "5E" on it and on the mother board on the black processor chip it is marked "5D".. Does this have a significance to our theory?
Regards

Hi Aatifk.
The colour of the 'Green' manhole does not match any other game perfectly, so in my mind this rules out a factory mistake. The reason for the colour is glaringly obvious when you see all the other damage and dirt on the game. This is discoloration by external sources. End of.
Andy.

Have we seen any blue games turn green before? If so, I'd like to see them here. That might help convince me. It's pretty close to DKJR, and some weathering could have altered it slightly to a different hue of green, but it looks radically different than the original Manhole blue, and that's consistent inside and out.

Hi Andy..
I am not pushing a point here.. Neither am i trying to force something.. If you would have seen the pictures clearly, you can make out the difference.. I know its hard to believe when you actually are not in possession of the game. Discoloration by external sources would have discolored it externally.. I would have also believed discoloration by paint or shady tactics if the area of the buzzer was broken or altered.. That is also intact.. And you can see the same green color inside the buzzer holder area which is perfect..
Ash I am ready to mail you the game for further inspection.. Your confidence in this game and in this topic makes me feel we have a mistake from Nintendo..
Ash did you check the White crab grab pictures?
Andy your view on the white crab grab? Its definitely not discolored.. hehe..
Regards..

Hi Andy.. Ash I am ready to mail you the game for further inspection.. Your confidence in this game and in this topic makes me feel we have a mistake from Nintendo.. Ash did you check the White crab grab pictures? Hi Aatif, Thanks for the offer, but I'm not sure what my up close inspection of the game would accomplish. Do you have any other old DKJR games? Maybe they have slightly different hues. Yeah, thanks for posting the white Crab Grab pics. I think that's only the second or third that we've ever seen.

I have seen the pictures clearly and that is my opinion. Feel free to continue your investigations of course but based on what we have now I still think it's been caused by something external. Lets say, for example, being submerged in a dirty bog or some engine oil or something. Left long enough in the right substance, the plastic would absorb some of the liquid and would discolour. The metals and glass, etc would not. The reason we haven't seen any more like this is because nobody has ever buried their game in whatever it was that caused this. Again, just my opinion.
About the white crab grab, there are of course plenty of examples of white supercolour games, so I have no argument there. I own a white spitball, you may know.
Andy

Andy my whole contention is based on the interior of the game.. There is absolutely no liquid damage inside the game.. The mother board is as good as new.. and the inside plate had no debris at all.. If submerged in a dirty bog or some engine oil would have left a trace on the inside of the game by passing thru the battery compartment.. The color is even through out.. Even the battery cover is of the same color.. Had the discoloration been from some external source the discoloration should also have been on the external of the game..
This is my deduction.. All i mean to say is we have a GREEN MANHOLE.. I need more members to discuss this.. We need to investigate.. Please lets get into it.. We might actually have a GREEN MANHOLE..

Does this green manhole still work?
Do you all agree on the green fire?
