script.txt

(This is the original script text file I used to write lines for ingame messages.)
(There are some early lines that have been altered, some side notes and even unused content (and missing content that was added to the game). enjoy.)


(SPOILER ALERT!!! I don't recommend you read this until you finish the game)

(This is a version of the script that was written when Marisa And Reimu's Hack was in development and had a different script itself)




























I think 5 levels?

[Marisa Unamused] Soo... this is a sequel... that we're in.
[Reimu Sad] Yeah... remember that note?
[Reimu Unamused] It said that this hack is going to be-
[Marisa Shout] No, don't say the K-word!
[Reimu Unamused] Kaizo.
[Marisa Shout] God dangit! I have better things to do, than to chase mice through kaizo traps!
[Reimu Unamused] For example?
[Marisa Unamused] ...ok, I have nothing better to do.
[Reimu Happy] Y'know what? After previous hack, I feel pretty confident.
[Marisa What][Reimu VeryHappy] Remember what you said? We've been through bullet hells and whatnot. And we're still alive!
[Marisa Sweat] Yeah, I think I did say that...
[Marisa Unamused] But still, I'm not too confident now.
[Reimu Happy] If you want a boost in confidence, I can sing a motivating song!
[Reimu VeryHappy] And 1, and 2, and 3...
[Reimu Woah] [Marisa Shout] No, thank you! Let's just get it over with!
[Reimu Sad] But I really wanted to sing a motivating song...

And so, Marisa and Reimu have went forth for the kaizo journey to get Russ. Will they succeed? Only YOU decide!

(all normal levels are the same in the final (though I only wrote level 1-3 before finishing first hack, so...))

Level 1 (level 1 from Eh., modified to suit new abilities):
[Marisa Shout] I heard that he was featured in "Eh".
[Marisa Unamused] Very original name for a hack BTW.
[Reimu Happy] Probably better than Super Russian World
[Reimu Happy] Which is just another Super X World kinda name.
[Reimu Happy] Speaking of, did you think of a name for out hack when we take over?
[Marisa Sweat] I forgot about that. Got too fixated on chasing him.

Level 2 (KLDC 2020 entry w/new mechanic)
[Marisa What] Watch out! There are dogs everywhere!
[Reimu Happy] Relax, I have it under control.
[Marisa Unamused] How can you be so confident?
[Reimu Happy] Believe it or not, I'm good with animals. As long as I'm around, they won't wake up.
[Reimu Happy] Even if they do, they'll fall back in my presence.
[Marisa Unamused] Uhh, sure...
[Reimu Sad] You don't believe me, do you?
[Marisa Unamused] Not really. When we encountered animal-like things, they didn't react.
[Reimu Sad] Well, yeah, but it does work for these chain chomps. How do you explain that?
[Marisa Unamused] Just to introduce a random gimmick?
[Reimu Happy] Either way, I'm glad I get along with chompies.
[Marisa What][Reimu VeryHappy] Who's the good boy here? Who's such a good boy?
[Marisa Unamused] Lovely, and I'm supposed to deal with them in the meantime.

Level 3 (Mario's Training Spinjump lvl)
[Marisa What] [Reimu Woah] [Trainer] HEY YOU, YES, YOU! Two tile muncher jumps 20 times!
[Marisa What] Who is that?
[Trainer] Are you really asking who I am? Enemy spinjumps 50 times!
[Marisa Unamused] Except we can't spinjump at all!
[Trainer] Really? I've never see anyone so behind kaizo training regimen!
[Marisa Unamused] It's called gameplay balance!
[Trainer] Ok, I can provide special spinjump crystals, but just this one time! Now go, and don't disappoint me!
[Reimu Woah] Sir, yes sir!

[Part 2]
[Marisa Unamused] What was that?
[Reimu Happy] Some kinda kaizo class? We should learn a thing or two from it.
[Marisa Unamused] I think I'm too old for that.
[Marisa Smug] But at least we have crystals to help us, so I think we can manage that!

Level 4 (something original)
TBA

Level 5 (final I think)
Beginning:
IDK



Final:
IDK

PLOT TWIST! You play as russ against Reimu and Marisa boss
2 endings.

Marisa and Reimu win ending
(Russ falls offscreen with death frame)
[Marisa Happy] Finally! We did it!
[Reimu VeryHappy] Hooray!
[Marisa Happy] ...
[Marisa Happy] Now what?
[Reimu Happy] ...
[Reimu Sad] Now that you mention it, I feel nothing.
[Marisa Unamused] That was kind of... anticlimactic, I guess?
[Marisa Unamused] I mean, I think we can do whatever we want, but was that really what we wanted?
[Reimu Sad] What if we were the bad guys all along? That's some deep thought provoking stuff.
[Marisa Unamused] Well, without Russ we're the star of the show now!
[Marisa Unamused] ...
[Marisa Shout] No, I still don't feel anything. God dangit, what to do now?
[Reimu Happy] Let's go adventuring then!
[Marisa Smug] Yeah, since we're the main characters now, we can have our own adventures now!
[Marisa Smug] Super Russian World no more! Err, but we still need to think of our name...
[Marisa Happy] Ahh, whatever, let's go!

Marisa and Reimu don't win ending
[Marisa What] ...
[Reimu Sad] What? How did you beat us?
[Russ] It wasn't me, it was our friend on the other side of the screen.
[Russ] Anyway, what you're doing is not right at all.
[Russ] Think about it.
[Russ] All this time I wasn't really a star of the show. You both were the main protagonists (i think) this whole time!
[Marisa What] ...
[Marisa What] Now that you mention this, yeah, you were absent all this time, and we were kind of doing our thing.
[Marisa Unamused] But I mean, we wanted to take over Super Russian World and be the main protagonists.
[Russ] Why do you need Super Russian World so badly? It's just one of many worlds out there.
[Russ] You can still be protagonists of your own world. I'm not taking it away.
[Marisa Unamused] ...
[Reimu Happy] Maybe you're right. We can still do whatever we want in our little world completely unrelated to SRW.
[Reimu VeryHappy] Dunno why we were so fixated on taking your world, but I'm glad we resolved this. We're still friends, right?
[Reimu Happy] Right?
[Marisa Smug] ...I guess.
[Marisa Unamused] But I still remember that bet.
[Marisa Unamused] I hate you for that.
[Russ] You're welcome.
[Marisa Smug] Now I feel better somewhat.
[Marisa Happy] Y'know what, I feel like going on a random adventure. Are you going with us, Russ?
[Russ] Nah, I think I'll stay here.
[Reimu VeryHappy] Let's go Marisa!

[part 2]
[Marisa Happy] Well, we can now go and have our own adventures.
[Reimu Happy] ...
[Marisa What] Reimu, what's wrong?
[Reimu Happy] We didn't decide who IS the main protagonist here.
[Reimu Happy] I think I'm suited the best, I'm pure at heart classic heroine.
[Marisa Shout] Are we really gonna argue about that now?
[Reimu Shout] Yes!
[Marisa Shout] Ok!

Extra level?
[Marisa Unamused] Oh no, it's Sonic again.
[Sonic] Hello! Did you get the mouseman himself?
[Reimu Happy] Yep, we sure did!
[Sonic] Awesome! Care for a challenge?
[Marisa Shout] No, thank you very much! I remember the last time!
[Sonic] Ok, then, let's go!
[Marisa Shout] ARE YOU LISTENING EVEN?!
[Reimu Woah] Wait, Marisa, we can probably use our world bending powers to change... something!
[Marisa Woah] You're right! Let's do it!
[Marisa Woah] ...
[Reimu Sad] Nothing happened?

(SPOILER ALERT!!! I don't recommend you read this until you finish the game)

(Revised script after the prequel changed the plot)




























[Marisa Unamused] Soo... this is a sequel... that we're in.
[Reimu Sad] Yeah... remember that note?
[Reimu Grumpy] It said that this hack is going to be-
[Marisa Shout] No, don't say the K-word!
[Reimu Grumpy] Kaizo.
[Marisa Shout] God dangit! I have better things to do, than to chase mice through kaizo traps!
[Reimu Unamused] For example?
[Marisa Unamused] ...ok, I have nothing better to do.
[Reimu Happy] Y'know what? After the previous hack, I feel pretty confident.
[Marisa What][Reimu VeryHappy] Remember, we starred in some brutal bullet hells, so I think we'll be fine.
[Marisa Sweat] I'm not so sure about that...
[Marisa Unamused] I mean, this is a new territory for us.
[Reimu Happy] Don't worry, we'll be fine.
[Reimu Happy] And if you need a boost in confidence, I can sing a motivating song!
[Reimu VeryHappy] And a 1, and a 2, and a 3...
[Reimu Woah] [Marisa Shout] No, thank you! Let's just get this over with!
[Reimu Sad] Oh, but I really wanted to sing a motivating song...

[Reimu Happy] Speaking of, did you think of a name for out hack when we take over?
[Marisa Sweat] I forgot about that. Got too fixated on chasing him.
[Reimu Sad] I'm curious, does this level (and the rest of them) have shelljumps?
[Marisa Unamused] Hopefully not. Shelljumps are overrated.
[Marisa Unamused] They're not cute and definitely not funny.

Level 2 (KLDC 2020 entry w/new mechanic)
[Marisa What] Watch out! There are dogs everywhere!
[Reimu Happy] Relax, I have it under control.
[Marisa Unamused] How can you be so confident?
[Reimu Happy] Believe it or not, I'm good with animals. As long as I'm around, they won't wake up.

Level 3 (Mario's Training Spinjump lvl)
[Marisa What] [Reimu Woah] [Trainer] HEY YOU, YES, YOU! Two tile muncher jumps 20 times!

[Trainer] Are you really asking who I am? Enemy spinjumps 50 times!

[Marisa Smug] But at least we have crystals to help us, so I think we can manage that!

Level 4 (Ice level! reimu only, autorun sorta deal) SCRAPPED!
;icy level
[Reimu Sad] Oh no, it's a snow icy level!
[Marisa Unamused] Is that a bad thing?
[Reimu Sad] Yes, very much so!
[Reimu Sad] When I'm on ice, I lose my control and keep sliding!
[Marisa Unamused] Then we must proceed very care-

Transition

[Marisa] -fullyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
[Reimu Woah] Oh my! A pit covered with snow!
[Reimu Sad] OK, I have to walk very carefully, and-

Transition

[Reimu Woah] Oh no! It's ice that is covered by snow! AHHH!!!
[Reimu Shout] Waaaah!!! Somebody HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE

Level 4 (something original this time plz)
[Reimu Woah] Wow, a cave level! We haven't been in a cave level yet.
[Marisa Unamused] Is that a big achievement?
[Reimu Happy] Why are you so apathetic towards everything, Marisa?
[Marisa Unamused] Why should I be happy? We're in a goddamn kaizo hack.
[Reimu Happy] While we're here, we should admire the sights.
[Marisa Unamused] What is to admire about this level?
[Marisa Unamused] I guess one compliment I can give is that it doesn't look like a rehash.
[Marisa Unamused] And it introduces another neat gimmick. Colored moving platforms that only one of us can stand on.
[Marisa Unamused] Happy about my observations?
[Reimu Sad] I guess I can't cheer you up in any way, now can I?
[Reimu Happy] Don't worry, Marisa, I'll find a way to break up the tension!
[Reimu Happy] After we get through this level that is. 
[Marisa Unamused] Oh, I'm not worried, you can tell by my expression.

Level 5 that's actually not final (casino night sorta deal...) (i think using those mandew baloons maybe... maybe conveyors from the first hack)
[Marisa What] What is this kinda place?
[Reimu VeryHappy] Casino Night Place Thing! We can relax here!
[Marisa Unamused] ...It's a kaizo Casino Night Place Thing. See anything wrong?
[Reimu Sad] Right, we're in kaizo lands, of course it's a kaizo Casino Night Place Thing.
[Reimu Sad] You aren't a huge kaizo fan, I can tell.
[Marisa Unamused] You can tell?
[Reimu Happy] Personally, I think we're making steady progress. Not long before final confrontation.
[Marisa Unamused] Yeah...
[Reimu Happy] I promise a trip to a non-kaizo Casino Night Place Thing after this whole ordeal.
[Reimu Happy] With a big helping of ice cream! I promise a good time.
[Marisa Unamused] Ice cream doesn't sound bad...
[Marisa Happy] Well, ok, if you promise to take me to a non-kaizo Casino Night Place Thing and a big helping of ice cream, I can persevere.
[Reimu VeryHappy] That's it! Am I seeing Marisa's happy expression? If you're happy, I'm two times happier! Let's get through this!

Level 6 (final I think)
Beginning:
[Marisa Shout] We're finally here!
[Marisa Shout] Performing for you! If you know the words, you can join in too!
[Reimu Sad] What words?
[Marisa Unamused] I don't know. Anyway, this must be the final level.
[Marisa Happy] Aww, man, I'm itching to get in there and end this once and for all.
[Marisa Happy] Especially since I'll be getting ice cream after this. Everyone likes ice cream, and I'm no exception.
[Reimu Sad] It'll be a tough fight.
[Marisa Shout] We can do it! Here we go!!!

Level 6 end:
[Marisa Shout] Aha! It's Russ!

Transition

[Marisa Shout] [Russ] Hello! Since you made it all the way here, you must have matters of utmost urgency, correct?
[Reimu Happy] Yes! It's really important!
[Marisa Shout] You must break our link at once! We want to go our separate ways.
[Marisa Shout] The hack must be either my own adventure or Reimu's (hopefully mine).
[Reimu Happy] I too want solo adventures sometimes. Don't have to deal with a downer like Marisa.
[Marisa Unamused] What did you just say?
[Russ] Girls! You can, y'know... just go your separate ways.
[Marisa What] [Reimu Woah] [Russ] It's not like I have exclusive rights to use your characters.
[Russ] Reimu, you'll have your own world to yourself.							\reference to "Super Reimu World Return To Hack" and "Marisa's Dimensional Adventure" by tfpivman (with permission)
[Reimu VeryHappy] Wow, that's so cool!									|
[Russ] And Marisa, you'll have a cool Dimensional Adventure. Isn't that awesome!?			|
[Marisa Happy] Heh, a Dimensional Adventure.								|
[Marisa Happy] It sounds like as if I'm travelling through different worlds to solve an incident...	/
[Marisa Unamused] ...wait a second, it can't be that easy, right?
[Reimu Woah] What do you mean?
[Marisa Unamused] I mean, we have gotten so far, and you're telling me all this time we could've walked away?
[Marisa Shout] I'm not buying this! That would be incredibly anticlimactic.
[Marisa Shout] Let's have a fight!
[Reimu Woah] A fight?!
[Reimu Sad] Now, now, no need for violence...
[Marisa Unamused] Violence? This is totally PG-13.
[Marisa Unamused] What I meant is, we'll have a cool boss fight all to ourselves!
[Reimu Happy] Oh. Yeah, I can get behind that.
[Reimu Shout] [Marisa Shout] Now, who's gonna suffer?
[Russ] GULP! I don't even have any abilities. I'm just a rodent Mario after all!

Separate level with a boss:
Intro:
[Russ] I'll have to beat them. It'd be quite a paradox if the main characters of this hack turned into villains.

No alternate endings because lazy.

[Reimu Woah] [Marisa What] You beat us!
[Russ] It wasn't me. It was our friend on the other side of the screen.
[Marisa Unamused] ...I forgot about them. Wow, I feel embarrased about many things from before.
[Marisa Unamused] Kinda ironic how we wanted to be our own heroes, but turned hostile.
[Marisa Unamused] And we weren't separate in a boss fight either.
[Russ] Well? You're free to go.
[Marisa Unamused] It really was that easy huh?
[Reimu Happy] Well. Shall we go?
[Marisa Happy] Goodbye Russ! Hope we won't meet again because I don't care.

Credits, showing parts of marisa dn reimu having their own adventures.

After:
[Marisa Unamused] ...Wait a second, what about that ice cream offer?
[Reimu Sad] Uh oh...
[Reimu Sad] You see, uhh... wow, what a nice weather today!
[Marisa Unamused] Are you trying to avoid answering me?
[Reimu Shout] Okay, I confess! I'm currently short on money! Please forgive me!
[Marisa Unamused] No.
[Reimu Sad] I knew you'd say that.
[Reimu Sad] Now I have to repay the debt and actually gather money for all that I promised.
[Reimu What] [Reimu Shout] I MADE A PROMISE AND I'LL FULFILL IT! JUST YOU WAIT!

To be continued?

Extra level?
[Reimu Woah] Oh! It's Sonic!
[Marisa Unamused] Dang! And I left my Fat Man at home. Would've been handy here.
[Sonic] Hello Marisa and Reimu from Touhou.
[Reimu Happy] Hello Sonic The Hedgehog from Sonic The Hedgehog.
[Sonic] ...
[Reimu Happy] ...
[Sonic] Anyway, care for a race challenge?
[Marisa Happy] Let me think about it for a moment.
[Marisa Shout] How about NO!
[Sonic] Really? You're not going for 100% completion?
[Reimu Woah] 100% Completion?
[Sonic] Y'know, all the exits.
[Sonic] If you aren't going to complete this challenge, your incomplete save file will haunt you for the rest of your lives.
[Marisa Shout] Alright, alright, but after that, no more race challenges, you hear me!

no ending text because i forgot to write it here and wrote it for in-game display at the end of development
