Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 – Color Restoration: All-Stars + World Luigi in Super Mario Advance 2

Super Mario Advance 2 saw the second time Nintendo decided to redraw World Luigi's sprites, this time having him based off his appearance in the first Super Mario Advance mixed with elements of World's art style. It's unknown why Nintendo tried going to this extent to differentiate Luigi's appearance from Mario's in 2001, as they already had access to a perfectly fine set of World-style Luigi sprites from roughly seven years prior.

This hack essentially undoes Nintendo's admittedly odd decision by swapping out the existing, arguably less-appealing Luigi sprites in Super Mario Advance 2 for those found in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World.

*Includes patches for both North American and European ROMs
(sma2-aswluigi-u and sma2-aswluigi-e, respectively)
*Compatible with Asaki's 'https://www.romhacking.net/reviews/4015/' patch as well as mangaman3000's 'https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2564/' patch

[DESCRIPTION]
"Super Mario Advance 2 saw the second time
Nintendo decided to redraw World Luigi's
sprites, this time having him based off his
appearance in the first Super Mario Advance
mixed with elements of World's art style.
It's unknown why Nintendo tried going to
this extent to differentiate Luigi's
appearance from Mario's in 2001, as they
already had access to a perfectly fine set
of World-style Luigi sprites from roughly
seven years prior.

This hack essentially undoes Nintendo's
admittedly odd decision by swapping out
the existing, arguably less-appealing
Luigi sprites in Super Mario Advance 2 for
those found in Super Mario All-Stars +
Super Mario World."

-hacking
*Ported most of the All-Stars + World
Luigi graphics to begin with, so most of
the credit for this hack should go to him.
My own contributions aside, I am only
taking it into my own hands to publish
this hack to RHDN as he told me he did not
have plans to do so himself.
-graphics
*Provided edits to fill in the gaps
where Advance 2 added additional frames of
animation not present in the SNES releases.
(walking as small Luigi, failing the bonus
game while in any form)

*Filled in the few gaps where Advance 2
Luigi tiles had not been replaced (opening
and 96 exit completion cutscenes, blushing
when kissed by Princess Peach) and ported
the hack to the European ROM
-graphics
*Provided minor edits for both of small
Luigi's victory pose sprites as a result of
a technical issue caused by how Advance 2's
Luigi sprites work. See "Small Luigi
Context.txt" for an explanation.
