Hack description

This hack comes in two flavours (patches).
One is purely bugfixes, another is minor graphical edits. Pick the one you like best.


List of bugfixes:

From "Super Mario Bros. - Double Trouble":
- Fixed the glitch where you get a Game Over if you get more than 127 Lives.
- Fixed the Castle wall inconsistencies on some X-3 stages (the end-of-stage Castle)
- Added skid sound during Deadly Wind gusts, as found in SMAS
- Fixed World A-1's Pipes to match the SMAS version
- Added hammers to Bowser's routine in Worlds A-D, as found in SMAS
- Fixed various color palettes, including giving Cheep-Cheeps their proper underwater green palette, as found in SMAS
- Fixed the Coin on the status bar to not glitch, like it did in the original SMB2J
- UPDATE 8/15/13 Gave underground green enemies a mountain green palette. Now matches the Allstars version more accurately

From "SMB2 - Restore original Spiny behavior":
-"This is an IPS patch intended to restore the original Spiny Egg behavior to this game" (they fall with horizontal movement now)


List of graphics changes (optional)

- Beta Mario colors
- Modern mushroom design
- SMB1 platform restored. The one that is mushrooms in SMB2
- Smoother ground tiles

This hack was definitely made to be really modern.Vallenatero20152023-02-06Version 1.0

In fact, Ultimate Super Mario Bros. 2 (FDS) is adapted to the style of Super Mario All-Stars (Super Nintendo), which I loved due to the graphics. That's why I recommend this jewel.

This could have just been a simple bugfix hack, but I really liked how the creator(s) went all out with stuff like the beta Mario palette and modern mushroom design. It really shows the creativity and passion that went in making this hack.
