Hack description

This patch makes Bluto, the NPC, partially playable! The other controller always controls Bluto.
You can control Bluto (left/right) make him jump and punch, throw bottles or reach down to the level below.

Is this the first ROM-hack ever that makes an NPC playable?

Since I was child, I'm always wonder if player 2 could control Brutus. This hack makes the gameplay become more fun than original, especially if you invite your friend to join (which make the game harder and possibly he/she would kick your ass) :D There is one problem though. I don't know how to make Brutus jump to the level below, or maybe you can't? Gonna play this with my friend tomorrow. Thank you very much About your question : No, this isn't the first hack to make the NPC playable by second player. I remember watching on youtube about Super Mario World (SNES) hack where second player can control enemies, and don't forget Super Mario Bros (NES) romhack called "Super Bill Kill" where second player can turn the enemies into a Bullet Bill, and move it upwards / downwards to the player 1
