[MegaDood]

Welcome! This is a level pack designed to be used with MrDoubleA's Battle Arena. It was made by The Rip Lair team, with levels by many different people!

You just need to click the download button and install as you would anything from GitHub. Just paste the contents into your existing Battle Arena folder, located in SMBX2 -> data -> worlds, and you're good to go! Do note that everyone you're playing with needs to have this installed on their device too.

This is all really cool! Very good work to everyone involved. Keep it up!

[Master of Disaster]

Awesome to see so many battle levels! I didn't get to play all of them yet since I was busy recently but I'm very much interested in catching up with all the newly added stages!

[MegaDood]

Released an update!
The folks on the rip lair added tons of new costumes, check it out!

[King Mario]

This is cool! I'll be sure to check this out!

BTW can you please add Amy in as a costume? We already have Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in this pack, so I don't think it would be too much to ask, would it?

[MegaDood]

Another update is out, adding four new levels!

Those being:

Worst Boss Arena - Sleepy Dee
Sunset Battlefield - GDKeptr
SMB World 1 - Deltom
Block Buster - FutureNyanCat

[KurttheKing]

BTW can you please add Amy in as a costume? We already have Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in this pack, so I don't think it would be too much to ask, would it?

The person who sprited the other Sonic costumes hasn't made Amy yet, though maybe someone else has a playable for her?

Well, there is this: viewtopic.php?p=395458&hilit=amy+rose#p395458

[KurttheKing]

Well, there is this: viewtopic.php?p=395458&hilit=amy+rose#p395458

These sprites look pretty rough. Hopefully we'll get some higher quality ones soon

These sprites look pretty rough. Hopefully we'll get some higher quality ones soon

I wouldn't say you're wrong on that! I like using this playable sometimes, but I won't deny that those graphics are kinda rough around the edges. I would agree that they could be somewhat better in quality.

[MegaDood]

Released a new update!

Adding two more levels: Dream Factory Dust-Up and Free Birds.

Also added a bunch of new costumes! Many are by Sleepy Dee.

[MegaDood]

A brand new update is out!
Please check the changelog to see what was added.

Also, many costumes were added by Sleepy Dee, so massive thanks to him.

[MegaDood]

Released another update! Added 3 stages, those being the last stages from the original 1.3 battle mode.
Those being: Dry Dry Desert, Invasion Battlehammer and Retroville Underground

Hi megadood!!
I’m still new here in the SMBX forums, but I just wanted to say you did an amazing job with this battle arena project!
I’ve been playing it with some of my friends, and it turned into a fun little competition between us. There were so many funny and even embarrassing moments when one of us lost in the most ridiculous way , but honestly, that’s what made it awesome.
It’s a simple yet exciting experience, and you clearly put love and creativity into it. Keep it up, man. I’ll definitely be looking forward to more stuff from you!

Just to clarify, Megadood did not make online battle, MrDoubleA did. This is just an expansion to what is added there by default.

[ShineBlaster]

Oh, I genuinely didn’t know that MrDoubleA was actually the one who made the Online Battle system. I honestly didn’t expect that, and I deeply apologize for the confusion .
As someone who’s still new around here, I’m realizing how important it is to always read carefully and give proper credit to the original creators and contributors.
Next time, I’ll make sure to check all the details who made what, who expanded it, and who supported it along the way.
Much respect to MrDoubleA for building such an awesome system , to Megadood for the expansion, and to everyone else who contributes to making this community so creative and fun !
