SUBARASHII

SUBARASHII title screen

SUBARASHII (also known as SUGOI 2, full title: Oh My God! It's Joseph Joestar In SUBARASHII: X-Mas Mode In July; stands for Sonic Uncovers Banning And Realizes Anime Spoilers Hurt Intricate Ideas) is the second entry in the SUGOI series, a series of collaborative level packs created by community members under the supervision of TehRealSalt. It contains 48 levels created over the course of December 2016 and features work by more than 60 different contributors. In addition to regular levels, this edition of SUGOI also asked mappers to create their own Special Stages. As a result, SUBARASHII includes seven Special Stages, each of which utilizes Lua scripts to create its own unique playstyle. The level pack was initially released on July 27th, 2017.

This, along with it's predecessor SUGOI and it's sequel KIMOKAWAIII, is part of the combined v2.2 remaster of the SUGOI trilogy.

Levels

As with SUGOI, the levels in SUBARASHII are accessed via a hub stage, Joestar Manor. The levels are presented in the form of paintings hanging on the walls of the manor. Jumping into a painting selects the respective level. In Coop mode, players can vote on whether or not to enter a selected level – the level is only entered if the majority of voters agree. At the beginning, only one level is accessible, with the others in five closed-off rooms that can be unlocked by collecting emblems. One emblem is awarded for completing each stage, while many of the stages also contain hidden in-map emblems and/or Record Attack emblems. Collecting 35 emblems unlocks the final boss fight, Final Tower Zone. Excluding the boss fight, there are 37 main levels, although the six levels in the bedroom are not considered part of the main progression since they are unlocked after the final boss fight.

Collecting Special Stage Tokens in the main levels allows the player to access the seven Special Stages, which are located in the basement of the manor. Each attempt at a Special Stage costs one token. Beating a Special Stage awards the player a Chaos Emerald. If the player enters Final Tower Zone with all seven Chaos Emeralds, a door will open up that leads to the secret final boss fight, Star Genesis.

Finally, SUBARASHII includes two bonus levels that are unlocked by completing special requirements, as well as several auxiliary maps that are used for cutscenes or unlockables.
