Super Dram World 2

Extra Files:

readme.txt

This ROM Hack is dedicated to one of my good friends, Dram55.
It is the sequel to Super Dram World, which I also created in 2015.
Dram55 is a Super Mario World Speedrunner who has held numerous World Records in the past.
He has showcased some of his speedruns at Games Done Quick marathons and will (hopefully) return from the war soon.
Best of luck to him and his wife!

This hack aims to be as vanilla as possible, attempting to keep that nostalgic, authentic feel to it.
It is also able to beaten entirely without the use of savestates (it actually took me roughly 300 deaths to beat the game the first time).
A special world is also included for any 100%'ers out there. An added bonus (which is actually useful) is given to those that complete the special world.
This means I minimize my use of custom blocks, sprites, music, and graphics.
However, I do make the use of some slight custom palettes to change up the atmosphere a little.
As a result, a retry system is NOT included (however, a death counter is implemented instead to keep track of the amount of times I troll you).

Special thanks to Kaizoman (Thomas) for helping me fix a lot of bugs as well as creating a lot of the ASM used in the hack.
Another thanks to Umari0, who has helped rigorously playtest and point out any bugs found during the playtesting phase.

Follow me on social media to stay up-to-date (or yell at me if there is a bug)!
