It's unknown why Nintendo tried going to this extent to differentiate Luigi's appearance from Mario's in 2001, as they already had access to a perfectly fine set of World-style Luigi sprites from roughly seven years prior. This hack essentially undoes Nintendo's admittedly odd decision by swapping out the existing, arguably less-appealing Luigi sprites in Super Mario Advance 2 for those found in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World." =========================================== [ADDITIONAL INFO] -Includes patches for both North American and European ROMs. (sma2-aswluigi-u and sma2-aswluigi-e, respectively) Of course, be sure to patch your ROM with the correct patch version. -Compatible with Asaki's 'SMA2 - Super Mario World Color Restoration' patch as well as mangaman3000's "Super Mario World Voice Removal" patch =========================================== [CREDITS] Emilianomario27 -hacking *Ported most of the All-Stars + World Luigi graphics to begin with, so most of the credit for this hack should go to him. My own contributions aside, I am only taking it into my own hands to publish this hack to RHDN as he told me he did not have plans to do so himself. -graphics *Provided edits to fill in the gaps where Advance 2 added additional frames of animation not present in the SNES releases. (walking as small Luigi, failing the bonus game while in any form) JY -hacking *Filled in the few gaps where Advance 2 Luigi tiles had not been replaced (opening and 96 exit completion cutscenes, blushing when kissed by Princess Peach) and ported the hack to the European ROM -graphics *Provided minor edits for both of small Luigi's victory pose sprites as a result of a technical issue caused by how Advance 2's Luigi sprites work. See "Small Luigi Context.txt" for an explanation. =========================================== [UTILITIES USED] -Lunar Magic -YY-CHR =========================================== [TESTED ON] -mGBA emulator -real Game Boy Advance hardware, via the EZ Flash Omega flashcart
