Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts – Knight/Maiden Artoria Edition v3.0 Released

GoodLuckTrying has released version 3.0 of Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts – Knight/Maiden Artoria Edition, making the hack more than just a sprite hack.

Version 3.0 is a ground-up remake and full Artoria conversion, now available for both the USA and Japanese versions. The update introduces redesigned sprites, unique titlescreens, improved dialogue, armor and death-sprite fixes.

The biggest addition is a new Player 1 Secret Menu, accessible by holding L + Start on the EXIT option in the Options menu. It includes optional gameplay features such as Chest Hints, a Slower Timer, Enhanced gameplay, Better Armor, Weapon Collect, Better Shield, and 1-Up Fix.

The hack also introduces a 16-board ranking system, with separate CLEAN, MINIMAL, ENHANCED, and OTHER leaderboards across four difficulty levels. Settings and rankings are saved through SRAM.

Additional FastROM patches are included, along with the Basket 3.0 patch, which restores Artoria's original idle sprite while using the basket.
