Story:
After a crusade against the mysterious alien Tatanga in Sarasa Land, Mario decided to return back to his own island for a well earned rest. Turns out an evil creep who goes by the name of Wario took the chance of his abscence to take over Mario's castle and put the people of Mario Land under a magic spell! To reclaim his castle and free Mario Land from its new ruler, Mario must find the 6 Golden Coins scattered across the island and invade ...his own home?!
New Features:
A New Coat Of Paint
Each level has been recreated to keep the original spirit but now uses a wide range of different color palettes alongside many new decorative elements. Additionally, every level has its own music track! Of course, they can be disabled as well.
New Collectable
A brand new collectable in the form of Silver Coins was added.
These encourage exploration and can be traded in for many new extras!
Luigi's Casino
This will be your central hub regarding most new extras. Spend either regular or silver coins to exchange items such as Music Discs for the soundtest, Skins, HUD Colors, the Ice Flower, Walljumping and much more!
You can also replay the expanded sortiment of minigames here! For a fee of course...
Missions
Short on cash? No worries, missions have been added! Every level now has its own mission tied to it. These remixed layouts offer different goals, such as collecting clocks to extend a short timer, defeating enemies to increase the score, outsmarting a clone who imitates your moves, collecting 100 bronze coins and more!
Local Multiplayer and Time Trials
If you're feeling a little more competitive, give the local multiplayer a try. It features three modes: Race, Coin Catcher and Bell Control. Got no friend over? Well, how about competing against Shadow Mario then? Levels can become haunted, in which Shadow Mario will challenge you to a race. Can you beat him?
Wario's Conquest
Last but not least is an entirely new campaign, Wario's Conquest. In this special mode, you get to experience how Mario Land fell under Wario's control.
Be warned though, this mode is not for the faint of heart!
You will have to explore vast hub worlds for pipes that lead to bite-sized missions. You have to pay an entry fee, however winning will reward you with a much larger reward! Rack up coins and conquer all 6 zones before tackling Mario's Castle itself.
Progress:
35%
Super Mario Land 2
10%
Wario's Conquest
Progress is going mostly smoothly. As of now, the Tree Zone and Mario Zone is finished. There are still some things to fix though.
Most of the new systems are finished as well, which took the most time to create.
You can help by reporting some (hopefully) good and constructive feedback so I can try to make this game the best it can be. Please be aware that I do this in my free time and am no expert at programming. I hope I can make this game justice, even if it will take some time.
By the way, the game is also on Gamejolt. However, this demo will be exclusive to SAGE for some while.
Screenshots:
The first level automatically starts after a new short tutorial.
Different weather conditions were added to the levels!
While the level design remains intact, these new decorative effects can give a whole new vibe to a level!
The original OST of SML2 is iconic, however the quantitiy of it left a bit to be desired. This remake aims to add new tracks that attempt to keep the energetic spirit of the original intact. Of course it can be disabled as well.
Not all levels feature 5 Silver Coins. Some have merely 3 or 1 to find.
Bosses wait to be defeated. If you succeed, you gain access to minigames featuring them!
Shadow Mario runs faster than you, but his jumps slow him down. Try to make few but long jumps. Getting into the flow of things without bumping into obstacles should be the key to victory!
Updates
V.0.2.2
The final bugfix and small content update for SAGE 2024:
-The first 10 floors of the Pit Of Trials were added, beating them unlocks a new HUD skin.
-Introduction of Modern Mode in the options! Disable classic lives in the options to play with unlimited lives! Be aware though, you will loose 50 coins upon death!
-Hard Mode got an overhaul. Now it doesn't just reduce time, but also reduces items, removes checkpoints and adds a few additional hazards here and there. Instead of checkpoints you get gifted with a 50 coin bag!
-The Tree Enemy Challenge was made more fair by adding Mushrooms - only in normal mode though!
-When a level becomes haunted, a new Shadow Mario icon appears, as players didn't notice the importance of purple colored levels
-In the card collection you can now view the number of your currently viewed card. Additionally, when viewing a locked card, there will be text indicating the card isn't unlocked yet
-While on the overworld when viewing your progress in the pause menu, the amount of golden coins displayed was adjusted to 6
-When playing a "Hunted" mission, Shadow Mario will start off as smoke and only turn into a humanoid form when he starts being able to damage Mario
-Some more minor bug fixes, such as music glitches, collision fixes, etc.
The next major update will add more control options, zones for Wario's Conquest, more floors for the Pit Of Trials, a hint index and a few other surprises! Thank you for playing Super Mario Land 2 + Wario's Conquest! If you want weekly updates, check out the gamejolt page!
