This is a Luma plugin for New Super Mario Bros. 2. This plugin is made with customization and compatibility in mind, meaning many of the codes can be customized to allow the user to enter their own values (i.e. coin count modifier) or choose exactly what they want (i.e. Power-Up or Speed Modifier).

==User guide==
We've done testing on most codes to ensure that this plugin is entirely '''<span style="color: #00b300">region free</span>''' for '''<span style="color: #00b300">every version of the game</span>'''. This includes the Gold Edition, Special Edition, and any other version of the game. Of course, we can't test ''every'' code with every version of the game, so there may be some exceptions. If so, please report them to us using the form below.
Upon running NSMB2, the plugin should load and you will be greeted with further usage instructions.


<span style="font-size: 15px">'''Usage Instructions:'''</span>
This plugin relies heavily on notes to help users understand how to use codes.


<span style="font-size: 15px">Prerequisites: You must have the latest version of Luma already installed. I will not provide support on this topic.</span>
These notes contain important information such as button activators, which are necessary to properly use each code.

# Download the latest version of the plugin as a .3gx file from [https://github.com/DarkFlare69/NSMB2-Plugin/raw/master/NSMB2-Plugin.3gx here].
This is some strange problem with CTRPF, Luma, and NSMB2 when they're all together.  
# Find the title ID for your game. Since there are so many different title IDs for this game, I'm not going to provide all of them here. You can find your title ID by launching the game, opening the Luma menu (L+Select+DPad Down), and then clicking on Cheats.
