I was originally inspired by an April Fools' joke on NintendoLife.com teasing Luigi versions of classic NES games, specifically Dr. Luigi, which I wished was a thing so much that I decided to make it one! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Features: -Dr. Mario is now Dr. Luigi! All of his sprites are redrawn to feature the taller, thinner brother in medical attire. His appearance is based on other 80's/90's games that featured him rather than his modern appearance. -New title logo based on the logo from the Wii U Dr. Luigi. -New, completely redrawn virus designs based on the ones from the Wii U title. -New color palettes - pills, viruses, backgrounds, etc. Most of the changes are based on the Wii U Dr. Luigi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patching Instructions: You should probably know this by now if you're on romhacking.net, but use an IPS patcher such as LunarIPS to apply one of the included patches to a clean Dr. Mario ROM. The one I used was named "Dr. Mario (JU).nes". In the archive I've included three different patches to suit different users' tastes. Here are the differences between them: DrLuigi_lite.ips --------- The standard Dr. Mario with minor changes. Only the logos and Mario himself are edited in this one. This is for the purists out there who just want a straight brother swap. I like to say this is "how Nintendo would do it". DrLuigi.ips --------- All of the features listed above are included in this patch. I like to say this is "how Nintendo would do it if they decided to put some effort into it". DrLuigi_yole.ips (Dr. Luigi: Year of Luigi Edition) --------- All of the features listed above plus an extra bar on the title screen displaying "The Year of Luigi". I almost didn't include this idea but a good amount of people thought it was cool...while another good amount thought it wasn't. So I've included both versions. ______________________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoy it! Wahoo! Let me know on the forums if there's a problem I should patch up. Created by: Shugo shugotakahashi at gmail dot com
