Adding Paper Mario-styled turn-combat?

Postby Ridley12 » Thu Aug 21, 2025 6:12 pm

I haven't dabbled much with SMBX/2, so I don't know how extensive fan games can get with the tools provided, but would it be possible to include turn-based combat ala Paper Mario 64 and The Thousand-Year Door?

absolutely, however you have to keep in mind that something like that would be an absolutely monumental undertaking (as one would have to program the entire system from scratch), and is definitely not something a beginner should try to jump into without familiarizing themselves with the scripting api first

I understand. On the bright side, at least it's possible in theory.
