Description: It will allow to change the GFX along with TSA's and palette. This patch DOES not change the programs or levels. Make sure that you did not change your TSA's before applying the patch. Those graphics is a combination of SMB2 and SMB2J. 

Patches
SMB2GFXj.ips: Changes the Foreground Graphics and TSA's without sprite graphics and Palettes.

SMB2spritej.ips: Changes the Sprite Graphics without Foreground or TSA Graphics and Palettes.

SMB2GFXsprj.ips: Changes the Foreground or TSA Graphics and Sprite Graphics without Palettes.

SMB2GFXPAj.ips: Changes the Foreground or TSA Graphics and Palettes without the Sprite Graphics.

SMB2GXSPAj.ips Changes the Foreground or TSA Graphics, Sprite Graphics and Palettes. Flipped the Sprite Tiles for perfect palette lineup like in the real SMB2. 

Super Mario Bros 2[q].ips: Removes the title screen from the original game except for the star count box. 

These patches will NOT affect your star count so don't panic. If you have stars in your ROM, then you can still play World A though D levels with the new graphics hack. Or simply enter hex offset xCC3C to increase your star count.

Reversion History

9/11/06 5 years of the 9/11 attacks. But that's not the point. Switched the palettes of Panser's Body and Eyes when I looked at the Gray Panser in the SMB2 Discombobulator. The Gray Panser Palette is a critical error that causes Red Palettes to become the White Panser with red eyes.

8/16/06 Placed Bowser from afterworld 8 and placed it onto a few SMB2 Sprite Graphic ROMs. The Bowser Sprite was not created by me.

Fixed Brightness Sprite Palettes as well.

3/18/06 Found the ducking sprite TSA for Mario and completely removed it. 

Fixed the Mario Frame Animation Tile and I noticed that they BOTH the same tile frames in the tile editor. Much special thanks for Dragonsbrethren for telling me this.

Fixed the color for the Mario climbing tile

3/15/06 First Release

Usage Requirements
An emulator that play FDS games (I recommend FCE Ultra or RockNES version 1.7 or higher)
Disksys.rom
Lunar IPS
A SMB2J ROM (Don't even ask me for it.)

Applying the patch

When you use the Lunar IPS patcher to patch FDS ROMS, click on the arrow and choose All files instead of Most common ROM files on Files of type. 

***Important***
Make sure you make a back up before applying the patch. You will also need to change the ROM's filename before you patch as well. Because certain emulators only work on FDS hacks like RockNES v1.7 or higher. Some of them would not support any IPS patches to any emulator but RockNES or FCEUltra can make that support.

The Underground Palette

If you need underground World 5-1's Palette from SMB2 instead of World 1-1 here's the Palette for this one. Go to offset 11655=x2D87 and switch them to 4C 1C 0C 0F 41 12 01.

Special Thanks:
Fakegod for creating the NES Palette Editor. But the editor only goes up to 0F and nothing else.

Brain Bennwitz for making Translhexation. I used it to edit the palettes properly and TSA Tiles for SMB2J.

Bloodthirst Software for creating NESticle which I looked up for Palettes in SMB2.

YY, for the YY-CHR editor which I edit the Tilesets.

Much Special Thanks:
AP, for creating the SMB2 patches and the SMB all-star levels hack which I rip the Jar Tile from. However I did not make the Jar so AP takes the credit. Also thank AP for creating the SMB2J clouds. And a few graphic creators as well.

Dragonsbrethren for the Mario leg tiles.

Nintendo for making SMB, SMB2J, and SMB2, where this idea come from.

And Insectduel's Domain, the home of SMB2J hacking. You can look for SMB2J hacking stuff on my site.

On such notice, Asking or e-mail me for SMB2J ROMS will simply get ignored and deleted.
