Originally posted by Super StiviboyI just remembered, what about Brutal Mario/Super Kitiku Mario?
Is Carol progressing or is the project dead?
Last we heard about it was June 2015
He announced over an email to CM30 that he was starting work on World 9.
Level ideas: an Arabian town, a ruined Toad Town, Peach's Castle
He also confirmed to me over email that the last boss is
Mario, after defeating Luigi aboard the Black Omen stage with all DK Coins collected, you take control of Luigi and battle Mario (I assume in the stage to the southwest of Peach's Castle in the World 9 submap, as that one is titled 鬼畜王マリオ, or Mario the Brute King)
Only Hey, I Am Mario! (the new version of the first stage), 息を止め続けろ (World 1 water stage) and Athletic Special have DK Coins so far.
Here's the latest demo if you don't have it.
It only contains the remade 1-1, part of remade 1-Castle, 4-Ghost and 5-5, all Vivian Shops (only the World 1 one in Yoshi's House is accessible without modifying the hack though) and what appears to be inaccessible unfinished credits and game clear percentage screens, all other stages have the custom sprites removed and freeze at the MARIO START! screen due to carol using outdated sprite insertion tools.
carol hasn't said anything else yet, other than replying to emails asking if he's working on VIP6 (he's not).
I've tried reaching him a few times just to ask how he was doing but he seems to be unreachable as of right now.
