Hack description

Super Royal Pals. 2 is a "What If" hack. What if Nintendo decided to make the ladies of the Mushroom Kingdom the stars of the story.

The following changes were made:

* Replaced all character graphics with new graphics based on redrawn Princess Peach Graphics used in the "Princess Sidestory - Royal Flush" hack.

* Changed the character abilities to suit their new appearance.

* Removed lives and replaced it with a death counter.

* 1-UP now reduce the death counter, and 3 coins grants you a 1-UP.

* Choose your character on death and the start of each level.

* Fixes an issue with the ending screen with Mayor Pauline.

Great fun!lexluthermiester2020-08-08Version 1.1

What an excellent effort! The physics for each new character are balanced well, the GFX for each are distinct & well drawn and the additions & changes in the game world are well thought out. The new special ending fits in perfectly! Because each character's physics are different from the original and unique to each character, there is a learning curve. That's not to say the game is more difficult, just different. Such will take time to learn, even for seasoned SMB2 players. This makes the game very much a new experience. I loved every moment of it.

My only complaint, and it is minor, is that at the end credits the game switches over to an additional screen before allowing " The End " writing to finish. Ideally, at least 5 seconds should be allowed before the switch.

This is a quality effort and should not be missed! Well done indeed! Highly recommended! Any fan of Super Mario Bros 2 will enjoy this mod. Download, apply, enjoy!

Everything here looks and feels well done. The remix with all four girls is funny and they can be played breezily in any stage.

Tried the whole game and zero bugs or misses to report, thankfully. The "total deaths" meter is quite the silent ego test for errant players.

Gotta love the details at the end: amusing to see someone sleeping well with those colossal earrings still on, btw

Awesome pick to improve the mood and send boredom on vacation!... and a plus for people who loves vegetables.

Congrats to the Author ✯

Nice, it's very well done, but...The_Lunatic_IPS2020-08-06Version 1.0

They are very cool and nice changes, to get started, the physical characteristics of each character are very well worked out, thus achieving in this way that Peach is the balanced character in this hack and the sprites..., well, i admit that they are very well achieved but I would have liked if they had been based on other types of sprites, since I'm not particularly a fan of royal style sprites, but well, that is already a matter of taste and I understand it perfectly. I also liked the change of color palette that they made in the background of the world 4, makes the panorama look more pleasant.

The only negative point is that charged jumps work perfectly on every character except Daisy, for some reason the jump loaded does not work, i'd like you to fix that in an update, that's all, the rest, everything is in order. It is perfect as a base to create a original hack of different levels and get the most out of the abilities of each character.

Nicely Done!xezton2020-08-04Version 1.0

Getting the chance to play as the ladies in SMB2 was great!

This is not just a sprite swap. Each character has her own set of stats that sets them apart not only from each other, but also from their male counterparts in the original. Like the original game, you find yourself picking favorites (Pauline is legit).

All of the levels and monsters are unchanged, which I personally think is for the better.

This hack is less arcadey and more fun. The new lives system is fantastic and makes death a much less frustrating experience. The slot machine was also completely removed. In all honesty it shouldn't have been in the original game anyway.

Thanks for the hack! Gigantic thumbs up!
