The NES version of Hatris was released two years after the Famicom version. The NES version features several changes from the previous Famicom release, including more refined graphics, a scoring bonus for performing a "hatris," and a new Helper mechanic in place of the traditional Sale screen.
Hat Types
| Name | Score | First Level |
|---|---|---|
| Derby | 50 | 01 |
| Cowboy Hat | 80 | 00 |
| Baseball Cap | 120 | 00 |
| Top Hat | 150 | 00 |
| Wizard Hat | 200 | 03 |
| Crown | 300 | 06 |
Helpers
The NES version of Hatris awards two types of Helper icons for clearing five sets of certain hats. Clearing five sets of derbies, baseball caps, or cowboy hats awards a Vladimir icon. Clearing five sets of top hats, wizard hats, or crowns awards an Alexey icon. A maximum of eight Helper icons can be stocked at a time.
Pressing the B button removes any hats under active control from the playfield, and calls out the helper associated with the most recently awarded icon. Vladimir is able to swap two selected columns of hats. Alexey is able to remove up to five hats from the bottoms of selected columns of hats.
At the end of each level, the player is given the option to either keep or cash-in each of their stocked Helper icons. Each icon is worth if cashed in. Remaining Helper icons are also automatically cashed-in after completing the final level in the game: Shop 5 Level 9.
