SMB2 - Super Beatles - Pepperland

Very nice.

Somebody could do an "All Stars" version via Mesen HDPacks. Or not

Congratulations on your release!

I'm playing it and it's really challenging!

I wonder if the patch is compatible with a PAL version of SMB2. For, you know. Euro-reasons.

Thank! Hmm.
It never even crossed my mind to do a PAL version, even though I live in Europe. But I spent this day trying to figure out how to port it to PAL and it seems like a whole lot of work. I managed to force the hack to be PAL but everything is slow motion.

The official version will have to do for now.

So far, I'm loving this and how it follows the movie's plot.

Played through it, and beat it today.

The ending and credits are absolutely amazing! Great work!

[tygerbug]

The ending is very good and accurate to the movie.

You should do a News post announcing the hack.

I newer knew I could do that? I thought it was the admin/mods who did news!

  No, members write most news, in a similar fashion to submitting the ROMhack itself!

Changed hill graphics in world 6
Bluer sky in world 1 to see the clouds
Added movable heads in 3-3
Semi solid rainbow platforms in 3-3 instead of solid
Changed some platform types in 3-3 for consistency
Added plant guitar to easier defeat boss in 4-3
Added apple to secret area in level 5-2
Added bombplant in level 5-3
Deleted some bombablebricks in 5-3 to avoid crash
Deleted hill ground in 5-3 by bombablebricks to avoid crouch softlock
Lowered Bulldog Boss platform in level 5-3
Added second plant to easier defeat boss in 5-3
New level design in level 6-1
level 6-2 secret area 1up better placement to avoid glitch

We also included a download link to a experimental PAL patch with faster movement and music for those who would like to run on PAL hardware. It has not been tested on real hardware and we cannot guarantee it will work.

I just want to express how much fun this hack is.

And the fantastic music... right? Every single note is so delightful to hear.

(Forgot how slippery SMB2 controls were. Gotta use that run button sparingly.)

Thank you very much.

In other news. The hack got it's own news article:

Honestly, I avoided this hack until the end. Because I was not attracted to hacks on SMB 2 USA, due to the fact that it is already a hack... However, at the request of "John the Cat" - I tried it. And, you know - I honestly don't know what version he gave me, but for the test - the hack really tightened. Pretty good graphics, everything is well redrawn. And the cherry on the cake turned out to be music. I've never-never heard of a NON-MARIO hack making music changes.

Although I am not familiar with the Beatles' music and their history, but the hack is really well done. If they were given this, I think they would be happy with such a gift :-)
