Release message

This is a mod that changes the level order and reduces the time of the levels that would normally be easier. The levels are all vanilla SMB2. Nevertheless, I found it to be fun.

README

This is a mod of Super Monkey Ball 2 that changes the Master and Master Extra difficulties to be more difficult. There are 7 levels in Master, where every level in Master has 20 seconds allotted time. There are 30 levels in Master Extra, made up of levels originally from Advanced Extra, World 10, Master, and Master Extra. Most of the levels from Advanced Extra and World 10 have reduced time. I also changed the level order so you will play levels like Cylinders and Helix. I would suggest staying away from Master 5 and Master Extra 29; they are challenging with the reduced time Note that this mod is made up of levels from vanilla SMB2. (I did put my level Epic Floors in Beginner Extra however)

I primarily used my program smb2-cmmod (https://github.com/tuckergs/smb2-cmmod) to make this mod. This allows me to reduce the time allotted and to change the level order

Attached also is my main loop rel and the config for my program that changes the level order and what not.
