Super Mario Flash 2 (mostly known as SMF2) is the second and, for now, the last game developed by Pouetpu on Pouetpu-games site, being released in 2011. Super Mario Flash 2 was pretended to be a sequel of its predecessor "Super Mario Flash". The game design is now based on "Super Mario World" game (made by Nintendo) with some little features from other Mario games.
SMF2 also includes more stuff than its predecessor, such Auto-scrolls and Water mode level.
The levels and map shown in "1 player game" are also new made by Pouetpu himself.
Like its predecessor, Super Mario Flash 2 also includes a level editor where players can make their own levels and share them in Pouetpu-games page.
History[]
Super Mario Flash, when was first introduced on Pouetpu-games, got a positive response by all visistors and members registered, being famous for the introduction of "level editor" feature.
However, when the page was released in 2009, Pouetpu wrote a message on the home page on 04/12/2009 describing his plan of making another game for the site, besides SMF, not related to Mario.
The users who joined on the site on that days were asking themselves which game will Pouetpu release, but they had to wait until 2012, where Pouetpu released another game based on Mario: Super Mario Flash 2.
Before its release to the public, Pouetpu announced SMF2 hack in beta version, with some limited features .
The introduction of SMF2 on the site got a little better response than its precessor, more because SMF2 was new and SMF existed before the creation of the website and also SMF2 has more features. Most of users who were creating SMF levels wanted this time to make SMF2 levels, however, there were few users who kept using SMF game.
By passing the years, a great amount of users prefered SMF2 instead of SMF.
When the hacks first appeared to change SMF styles, other users were wondering for SMF2 hacks too.
Finally, Pouetpu decided to reupload the game and make a 2.1 version which included some more tiles, enemies and the custom background feature.
Version C[]
Super Mario Flash 2 Version C is a Super Mario Flash 2's fan-based update by a user named Chairo. This updated version contains a lot of new features, including:
- A lot of new tilesets
- Speaking of tilesets, the update, above all, primarily focuses on adding more to the existing tileset, allowing creators to have more freedom in placing tiles more thoroughly.
- Some tilesets included used to be only accessible via code editing.
- Few monster additions
- Music 19: Upon creating a level with music set to number 19, a slot "&undefined&" in a level code is created. Creators can use this slot by replacing the text "undefined" with a music link to add custom music to the level. This slot is usable even without actually using music 19, since the player can manipulate background music by music changers.(See below)
- The addition of the music link is quite finicky, as it only accepts .mp3 music links. No other links are allowed. In other words, the link always has to be like: "mp3uploader.com/this_website_does_not_exist.mp3"
- Background changers and music changers: Creators can maipulate backgrounds and music by using technical sprites. Note that these sprites, similar to sprite generators or autoscroll sprites, are activated when the invisible sprite is on screen.
- Sprites that used to be only accessible via code editing are now accessible on editor GUI.
- Item sprites
- Bowser
- Addition of 1UP mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms
