The secret boss from chapter 4 busts his way into Mario 64!
Originally just a model swap mod, coding help from Baconator2558 (Youtube) and @Kaktus64 (Bluesky) with voice acting from Starwarrior64 (Twitter, Youtube) it's become something a bit more than that.
THIS MOD FEATURES:
- Full recolorability
- Custom UI graphics
- Bowser moveset compatibility (Shell slide)
- Voice acting (Toggle between voice acted lines and game sounds!)
- A brand new moveset integrating the TP bar mechanic from the original game
- A tough-as-nails challenge mode that forces you to use your moveset against Bowser in a deadly game of tennis
- Optional alternate skyboxes for the bowser levels
- A small example mod to show how you can use the moveset's TP bar or rude buster in your own mod (Lancer approved!)
MOVESET
While Gerson uses the standard moveset, using the Hammer Of Justice costume will give you access to a special moveset consisting of 4 new moves.
Hammer Spin: Press Z + A mid-air to bounce yourself into a powerful hammer spin! Great for movement, good for crushing enemies. Costs 6 TP to use.
Shell Groundpound: Performing a ground pound with enough TP will send two koopa shells from your sides! Good for taking out small groups of enemies. Costs 1 TP to use.
Dive Roll: Holding Z after a dive lets Gerson roll to keep his momentum and extend the slide.
Justice Buster: Press Z + B to unleash your most powerful attack: the mighty Justice Buster! This attack costs 33 TP to use, but is very powerful against most enemies. The projectile will home in on any nearby targets and swiftly strike them down. This move is necessary against Bowser in the challenge mode!
REQUIRES WIBBLUS' BOWSER MOVESET - Shell slide: Shell slide from the Bowser Moveset. Replaces the slide kick.
TP BAR
The moveset's main feature is the new TP bar, which is used to perform Gerson's special moves. TP is spent by using moveset moves, but can be regained by collecting coins, defeating enemies, collecting stars, swinging Bowser by the tail or entering new levels. Or, if you would prefer, the mod provides a (host-exclusive) option to regenerate TP automatically at a quick rate, allowing you to use your moves as much as you please.
LANCER
Huh- Lancer?
The mod comes with a small example mod featuring Lancer. Open it up to get an example of how to use this mod's TP bar and rude buster for your own characters! This will require the Gerson Boom mod as a dependency.
