This is Why Super Mario Bros. 2 is Horrendous to Remake in SMBX

I am currently working on a Super Mario Bros. 2 remake for SMBX.
But it's been a super hard task, mainly because of the missing tiles and npcs that aren't included in SMBX. I will have to replace other tiles and npcs which is a lot of work.
Not only that, but many terrains have at least 16 different tiles, with barely any pattern.
But I'm not going to kick the bucket. This remake WILL be finished eventually.
So far, the basic level structures are being developed and we are currently at World 3-2.

Well, to assist on it, here's a page where all the SMB2 (All Stars) graphics are: https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/supermariobros2/

Though it's likely you already are using this website.

As for the missing NPCs, I think some are being added in beta 4, but if not then they could be implented with a bit of Lua magic.

I'm focusing on making a steady release for SMBX 1.3.0.1 and that only. (It might work on 1.3)
And I wouldn't want players to be forced to install something such as Luna Lua just to play the remake. It won't be as accurate, but I'll think of something.
I will consider a 2.0 release if they ever decide to release it, but seeing how long it's been, I don't think it's coming.

You don't need to donwload LunaLua, it comes packaged with 2.0. And the next beta is coming, but it may take a while cause there's lots of NPCs planned to be added and people have yet to finish them.

We're not including all npcs on the claims sheet. Only the finished ones. The REAL delay comes from bugtesting all of them cause, oh man, it's work!
