📋 About This Mod
Modifications are as follows: This version features extensive core-level modifications designed to deliver a fresh experience: 1. Character Overhaul: The original starting quartet has been replaced by popular characters—Kid, Captain, Mummy, and Ninja. 2. Combat System Revamp: A "Special Move" system has been implemented. Accumulating 20 "hit points" (displayed above the health bar) allows for a "Forward + A" special move, while accumulating 20 points enables a "Dash + A" special move, recreating the authentic arcade fee Now, you can trigger FFA every time you accumulate 20 SP from attacks, but doing so consumes that 20 SP. 3. New Final Boss: The boss of the final stage has been changed from Shiva to Goenitz (from The King of Fighters '96), offering a fresh take on the ultimate showdown. · This is a modified version of the original Mega Drive (Genesis) game and is compatible with emulators across all platforms. Added the BGM from the first stage of Captain Commando. Version 1. 1 fixes the glitchy animations for Baby B+C, Commander B+C, and the first frame of the Mummy's walking animation. It also corrects a spelling error in the title screen logo; thanks to PPI-AKIKO and MegaGabriel421 for pointing this out. Additionally, the FFA action now consumes 20 SP, and two new BGM tracks have been added—thanks to PPI-AKIKO for handling the code re-editing. Thanks to PPI_Akiko; without his help, this ROM wouldn't be complete.
