Delightful Adventure 2: Double Demise

[Darkonius Mavakar]

That's right, the sequel to my old Episode is real, and i've been working on it alongside some friends (see credits) for quite some time!
[THIS EPISODE IS MADE WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF SMBX 2.0]

STORY

Spoiler: show

During the events of Delightful Adventure 1 (of which it is currently getting a remaster and re-release in the future... eventually) Wart takes this as a chance to invade and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, and cast a curse on the land!
Toads are turning into Shy Guys, frogs... it's a mess!
And to make matters worse, Bowser is quick to come back from his Villa from the first Episode, and teams up with Wart...!
Can Mario, Luigi and the newly recruited Captain Toad reach the four corners of the Mushroom Kingdom, break the curse and stop Wart and Bowser's Nightmare Machine?!

THE WORLDMAP

You may notice this map is a LOT smaller than Delightful Adventure 1's, that's because this episode is smaller, but more focused on providing more interesting level design and challenges--
For a total of 14 levels!
There is no specific order in which you have to beat the levels with, you can explore and beat levels at your own pace, after the four Cursed bosses have been defeated, you'll be able of reaching Wart and Bowser's headquarters...

Oh wow! This certainly looks like a step-up from Delightful 1 which was already a fun experience.
Good luck with the bosses!

[Novarender]

Looks great!

[AxelVoss]

Yo holy shit, a sequel??
I loved Delightful Adventure; only episode I ever finished. Waiting with bated breath!

[Sonya Sanchez]

Finally another Project that I might play.
Already enjoyed the first one way back, glad this isn’t dead!

[Darkonius Mavakar]

Glad to see you people excited, of course this may not come out in the next few months due to how long coding the bosses will take, but it'll be worth the wait i'm sure;

BUT in the meantime, Delightful Adventure - Enhanced SHOULD release by the end of next month finally if all goes well, we're cleaning up the last few things and finishing up the last boss recoding;

Enhanced aims to put the visuals and assets to the same level as Delightful 2, as well as fixing the level design here and there, and the bosses are all lua-coded

Anyhow, i hope you all look forward to playing Delightful 2 when it's fully finished!

[Creasion]

AWESOME, you don't even know long ive been waiting for this....

[BroccoliRampage]

This looks stupid...

...STUPID AWESOME that is!

M&L's Delightful Adventures has been one of my favorites. I can't wait to play this. Take your time, do it up the way you like, you'll have plenty of eager players waiting for the official release!

[TLtimelord]

I'm pretty excited bro.

[Chanceux2]

I played the first one and it was great but I was waiting for this to happen its an dream come true

[Emral]

Here's an alternate palette idea for the oil level. I paintbucketed over the poison, metal, background and tileset after thinking that the current palette hinders its beauty. Feel free to use if you like, or ignore if you dislike. I've also included the original in the spoiler for comparison.

[Darkonius Mavakar]

Ohh i see, that does look better in some aspects, thanki-

Also i've updated the main post with videos of two of the levels, however please do note those were recorded a LONG time ago and that currently some of the visuals and level design has been edited by now, but feel free to take a peek at the vids regardless!

[Chanceux2]

By the looks of the logo Osoroshi wont be here anymore? Did you replaced him with Wart? I'm just wondering

By the looks of the logo Osoroshi wont be here anymore? Did you replaced him with Wart? I'm just wondering

All the events of Delightful 1 have concluded, with Osoroshi trapped forever in his chest, this episode takes place after Mario and Luigi's adventure in the Carob Kingdom to stop him and Bowser

[Chanceux2]

Oh nevermind

[Chanceux2]

Are you still working on this. I really excited for this

[Darkonius Mavakar]

Are you still working on this. I really excited for this

Please read the first post;
The levels and map are all done, what's left is the Lua bosses, which may take a long while to finish, especially since we're still finishing up the last boss for Enhanced.

[PROX]

I'm really looking forward to playing this one. It's already a massive improvement from the first one.

[Bomb Kicker DX]

i'm excited to play this, i had fun playing the first one (even though close to beating XD), i'm sure this sequel you're making will be even better

[ChunkyChimp]

Where does the music come from? (Specifically for the Murky Mines level)
