What You Need to Play Super RMN Bros 2
You need the creation tool used to make RMN Bros 2 to play it: Super Mario Brothers X v1.3 available here! Run the installer, download and place Super RMN Bros 2 into the SMBX "Worlds" folder, run SMBX and play Super RMN Bros 2!

Super RMN Bros 2 Officially Completed!

It's done and out! This is, barring any dumb bugs I missed, the final version of the game. No updated levels, no new submissions, just finished. If you downloaded the game prior to this please redownload and restart as some world map changes will fuck up your save file.

So please, download and enjoy!

Sorry for taking so freaking long everybody, I won't be in charge of any future Super RMN Bros. because I am doing a terrible job of it. I'll leave it to you guys to decide how to carry on from here.

I want to release this weekend because every day that goes by and this isn't released is just a bigger mark of shame on me.


Feel no shame, you have worked REALLY hard on this game.

Now if anyone else want's therapy, I'm up for it.

Next RMN Bros. is gonna be 1P only bottom line hands down no arguments if you put in 2P's start position you will DIE.

Also, I'm pretty sure we never figured out how to add a checkpoint to Bouncy Bouncy, but I had an idea I wanted to share! And it shouldn't be that hard to do, either.

The first step is to separate the auto scroll from the start-of-level event. Make it its own separate event, so it doesn't happen instantly.

Next, put up a wall at the beginning of the level with an on/off switch in front of it. Mario can't pass the wall until the block is hit, at which point the wall disappears and the level begins scrolling.

THEN, put a checkpoint about halfway in, and repeat step 2. The on/off switch for the checkpoint wall should disappear with the ones you put at the start so the player won't have to hit both switches.

This is all theoretical, though. I haven't tested it because I am busy as hell myself!!!

I never thought of that. Your idea just might work! If I had access to the level, I'd change it right now!
I know this has been brought up before, but...

Is there going to be an LP?

We have brick off of the list, so who's gonna do it?

I'm doing it for sure. I dunno about anyone else.

Are you going to do ShortStars version, or the next release?

I'll be playing the official release; the GRS version.

Unfortunately you can't start an autoscrolling event except at the start of a level. Kentona and I tried to get the damn thing to work in Moon Base Mario and we could only get it to scroll when the level started. We couldn't get a player triggered event to start it at all. I've tried with no success.

Release tonight-tomorrowish. Want to check that I haven't missed anything which caused the 'release this weekend' to fail * and make sure the changes I made from some feedback work too.

* Guess what happened when I tried to test World 7!
Download. I probably missed something dumb but it's certainly playable!

GASP!

I shall playtest it forthwith.

If all is indeed well, may I clean up the download by removing unnecessary files like thumbs and non-level txts?
I already got a bug report in a late-late stage so I'll do all that when I upload a new official version for the RMN Downloads page. Then I'll take some screens and make some World Pages and call it done and never touch SMBX again so the healing can begin.

Okay! While your fixing stuff, there were some things I encountered as well.

I was glad to see Link added a checkpoint to Hyrule, but since it's on the other side of the blue blocks, there's no way out when you start from there.

The version of Eversion Aversion in it is not the most up-to-date one (I must've forgotten to provide it).

Crush Fortress' boss battle can be rendered impossible if Wart falls through the floor. The bombable blocks underneath him need to be replaced with solid ones, or maybe a lava pit needs to go down there so Wart actually dies when he falls through.

Other than that, it hasn't been too bad. It's been fun revisiting these places and saying 'yay, they fixed that' or 'argh, why didn't you listen you bastard.' Good times. I'll probably have it all beaten soon.
It's possible I got the copies of Eversion Aversion mixed up too. Shoot me a PM with it and I'll add it to the next download *edit* oh would you look at that */edit*. I'll fix the Hyrule bug too, I never checked the most recent copy of that stage for player compatibility issues.

I'm surprised Wart doesn't die when he hits the ground. Maybe I'll add some lava at the bottom because that kills everything (but a solid floor at the bottom would make the boss very fucking tedious when you find yourself without a floor to fight on)

There's also the same-music teleport bug (see the end of World 7 for it in action). I did a shitty hack fix but it is still pretty crappy and I don't like it but I think this is SMBX's fault and I'm not sure if there's a good solution/workaround.
(For the curious: If you teleport on the world map it turns off the music. Normally the teleport exit location has a PlayMusic tile on it and the music plays that. Unfortunately if you teleport onto a PlayMusic tile that plays the same tune as the last one it will just kill the music and not actually play the new tune!)
I think there's still a 2P NoWin situation in Yell Oh Brickroad. I changed the level so 2P can follow 1P into an area in case 1P dies 2P can still complete the area and move on. But now if 2P dies 1P is fucked because they can't change into whoever 2P was to complete that character's section. I think I'll just add some spikes for the player to die on because I think it is impossible to remove the NoWin in this stage without nuking the character restrictions.

2P ruins everything.

Frackin' 2P.

Just beat the whole thing. Only found a handful of other stuff to fix.

There's one section in Davenport's Lethal Lava that has no BGM (whoops), and the star at the end of Brickroad's Revenge is supposed to be invisible until after you break out the princess. There's probably more stuff I forgot. This is a much better game than the first was!
Fuck that star was probably me doing changes, testing, and forgetting to put the layer visibility back the way it was. I'll fix the BGM too, thanks for testing! Did you ever see any black borders on the world map? I was finding where you could see past where I drew the map on path edges and stars all the way up until release.

I also need to take a tally and get the total numbers of stars too, there's a lot in RMN Bros 2.

I had 62 stars in the end. I don't believe I missed any.
Yeah, took a tally for 62 stars from worlds 1 to 9. I thought 63 but I forgot one level doesn't end with a star (Lair of Evil) for some reason. I liked the ending but it breaks form with the rest of the game so I'll change that for the real official release.
No more changes to my version
It's up it's done it's over. Enjoy!
