Mother 2 Deluxe

Version changelog: MAJOR OVERARCHING CHANGES: - M2DX v3.0 features 4 difficulty options! - Original: This mode reverts most gameplay changes back to vanilla EB, but keeps the vast majority of the QoL changes. - Examples of things removed from Casual/Deluxe/Insane for Original mode: All enemy stat changes, PSI changes, status changes, new enemies, optional content, Favorite Food, new items, item functionality, etc. - Examples of things added back in for original mode: AUTO BATTLE, losing 50% of cash on hand upon death, Dad calling every 2 hours, Belch being immortal until Fly Honey is used. - Casual: This is a mode for those who find Deluxe too difficult. The enemies do less damage and use their weaker attacks. HP rolls down slowly. Optional content is enabled, but Upgraded Your Places and all achievements are disabled. - Deluxe: The standard difficulty this hack is built around. This mode includes EVERYTHING the hack has to offer, but it will challenge you. - Insane: For M2DX veterans who really want to push themselves to their limit! This is Deluxe mode but with double item costs, instant damage, and a few random surprises thrown in. ((thanks JTolmar and Catador for answering questions!) - You can also select 3 additional window colors: Grape, S'more, and Blueberry! You may also choose between thin and thick window borders! (thanks vittorio!) - Achievement system added! Certain things done in game will give a jingle and a window with some graphics will pop up giving you and achievement! (thanks, chalkmuncher!) - Xtras Mode available after completing the game once in non-Casual modes. This includes: - Credits area with NPCs representing people who have helped with the hack. - Boss Rush. - Jukebox to listen to music and sounds. - New Game+ (This does not add any content in itself) When starting NG+, Pencil Eraser, Eraser Eraser, and Simple Key Machine will be removed both from Escargo Express and your inventory to mitigate any game-breaking interactions. (thanks, phoenixbound!) - Accessing all your collected in-game achievements. - Fight enemy groups of your choosing. - Watch the credits and cast sequences. - Random senseless humor! - Added a Kindness system to the hack. Certain optional quests grant a point of Kindness. Each point increases the HP restored from Lifeup alpha/beta/omega by 2/3/4 AFTER the base heal is randomized +/- 25% and factored in. - Moonside now uses the entirety of Fourside's area, thus the layout is identical to Fourside. This was necessary to create more space for optional dungeons. - Jill (formerly the Magic Cake lady) reverted to her original role as masseuse with lots of cut dialogue and she appear on the beach now. - Pu can be gained in Scarabi via sleeping at the hotel if you skip getting him in Summers. This was an option from early M2 versions. - You can now have 6 letter names for party members! (thanks, vittorio!)
