Description:
Super Mario Advance 2 saw the second time Nintendo decided to redraw World Luigi’s sprites, this time having him based off his appearance in the first Super Mario Advance mixed with elements of World’s art style. It’s unknown why Nintendo tried going to this extent to differentiate Luigi’s appearance from Mario’s in 2001, as they already had access to a perfectly fine set of World-style Luigi sprites from roughly seven years prior.
This hack essentially undoes Nintendo’s admittedly odd decision by swapping out the existing, arguably less-appealing Luigi sprites in Super Mario Advance 2 for those found in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World.

The Best SNES Luigi, Finally In Super Mario Advance 2
Reviewed By: Shift on 31 Jan 2020This is exactly the kind of hack I was requesting on the forums a year ago, and I’m grateful it’s become a reality! The All-Stars + World Luigi is my favorite SNES version of the character, and the hack preforms perfectly for me. Great work!
