So, probably almost nobody of you would care about this, but I do instead, so I preview it; this is a Mario vs. DK 2 mod I'm (trying to) working on since almost 2 years , with the tentative name of "Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2.5", and so far I did very few things, and with "few", I mean digging the game to understand most of its language, how to edit graphics, music, levels, etc. It's actually a lot, but still low for whole game. Ah, not to mention that I made 90% of edits only with hex editor, while other 10% with Tinke, Nitro Studio and EveryFileExplorer. No, I didn't use CrystalTile at all, in case you're wondering.
This game is quite hard to mod since there's almost no documentation about it.

Here I showcase 6 levels of the ground floor, excluding G-4, G-5 and G-8 because they oddly crash. Working in hex brings to these results quite often. Apologize me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here, compared to original game, I made new background, added new music, of course new levels, and also new level selection menu BG.

Hope you enjoy this upgrade of this understimated game (in my opinion).

Also, for clarification, I won't release this thing anytime soon. It's too early to talk about releases.
