Introduction: Mario and Luigi are gaming icons who need no introduction. But I couldn't find an open-sourced quality download of the duo boss for FF2, I did some digging and found the old one most servers use, but the models look a little bit off to me and I really like the RPG games. I also wanted to try my hand at balancing myself.

Luigi rigged by my good friend

Mario rigged by yours truly, though this was my first ever boss rig so I may go back and weight re-weight-paint him, and clean up some materials such as the top of his shoes being pitch black.
I couldn't get moving eyes working because source engine sucks, so I edited the VTF/VMT for M/L's eyes to be static. Also, I added in skin families for Fire Mario and Fire Luigi as their uber variants, making the textures myself for their overalls and hat, but the Smash-parry-style eyes were already made.
Batfoxkid for his incredible contributions to FF2 as a whole
Frixu for helping me clean up their configs

Installation:
Duo boss installation is a bit funky, so here you go.
In characters.cfg, BOTH BOSSES must be listed.
Whether or not they are blocked in the /ff2boss list is not just based on that .cfg, but also on the boss's .cfg.
(for example, Luigi.cfg has the attribute "blocked" "1" to ensure he cannot be chosen or picked at random.)
Gameplay:
HTML Code:
TBA. Will post youtube link when done balancing :)
