Well looks like I'm the first one to do this, am I?

I replaced common SMBX graphics with SMB2 ones. I ripped graphics from SMB2 and edited them (some of the other graphics were made by me, like the bomb, coin, star icons). A large portion of SMBX fonts were just SMB2-recolored, and since there are 4 types of fonts in SMBX, I was too lazy to replace them with SMB2 ones :P (I only did the numbers though so that's something).

How to use these graphics in a level/episode:
put all the graphics the archive below has in your level/episode folder, and make sure you have latest version of LunaLua installed (or use the finished version of SMBX 2.0, whenever that will be released) or it won't work!!!
Instructions for custom hud are in the download. No coding knowledge required!!!


None of the menu stuff was modified like the SMBX logo and stuff, so please don't cry that the menu graphics aren't changed.

Download update here! (02.07.2018)

It looks quite good, however, I think it'd be better if you added dark outlines in the font: in some cases, it's difficult to read it.

Ok then, guess nobody will even look here so here's a secret update for those who will:

I added 5 alternate graphics to use.

Dunno why I didn't comment on that yet. I think it looks super neat, with only the font being kinda hard to read sometimes from the looks of the screens. It'd be interesting to see HUD overhauls done for other game styles.

^ And that's why you shall never rely on custom SMBX exes and instead use LunaLua.

I downloaded the graphics and I can't get them to work, I am using SMBX 2.0 and I placed the graphics in my episode/level folder.

SMBX 2.0 has an outdated version of LunaLua, better update!

Is there a site that I visit to do this or from within the game itself.

SMB2 needs more attention, and this graphics are perfect for that. I like the font.
