Description: Sauna is back! Compared to my first hack this one has more levels, more chocolate, more secrets, more silliness, and it’s probably a bit more difficult. My goal was similar, to keep levels intuitive and fun, but I let myself get a bit crazier with level themes and ideas.

There are secret exits with hints that will guide you to the right direction, but they aren’t that hard to find even without the hints. Also, portrait rooms are back for people who enjoy looking around for secrets.

Get comfortable, grab your chilled beverage of choice, and get ready for löyly. I hope you’ll have a good time!

Absolutely fantastic hack and easily become one of my favourites. Pnaha does a fantastic job in taking a idea/mechanic, sticking to a theme and creating some really fun, fast and super creative setups. At times the hack was tough, but it was the perfect challenge for myself and nothing overstayed it's welcome. While the early levels were good, the flow, speed and movement required in some of the later levels - made these some of my personal favourite levels i've ever played. Great job Pnaha, love to see it.

Very fun hack, really liked the first one but this one is even better.
Thank you for making this 5/5*!

Very fun and well-crafted hack. Creative levels with great flow and readability. Tough enough to be interesting, but never brutally difficult. Just a good, solid, chill intermediate romp.

Very fun . Great set ups. A bit more challenging than the first one but great overall.

Excellent hack: it flows extremely well with no weak levels whatsoever.

One thing I really liked was
forcing the player to follow the non-secret paths before allowing them to access the secret exits.
It created a little mystery you don't often see in hacks.

Easy recommend, for both this and Sauna 1.

Had a wonderful time with this hack. First hack was already great, but sauna 2 shows improvement in every element.

Fantastic hack with really creative setups, a good variety of different level themes and mechanics and love to details. All in all a well polished hack with awesome levels. 5/5

This is a really fantastic hack. Every obstacle feels super polished and readable. Each level has a unique theme, but at the same time there's a cohesive style throughout the hack. Easy recommendation for all kaizo players.

Wonderful hack with setups that are equal parts inventive and intuitive. Flows beautifully.

I will offer one bit of constructive criticism. The bosses are a weak point of the hack. They needed more variety in their behavior. For a final boss, the danger should escalate over the course of the fight. Think of vanilla SMW, the GPW series, Storks, etc, where the fight evolves as you damage the boss.

Anyway, that's a fairly minor critique of what is an otherwise excellent romhack. Easy 5/5.

Thank you! Yeah, you're right about the boss, it could've been more interesting. I just wanted something simple and especially for the last part I wanted something players can beat in like 5 minutes. Connnnair was also nice enough to make the asm for free, so I tried keeping my requests easy and simple to not take more of their time.

... and twelth points go to.... FINLAND!
Käärijä, Windows95man and pnaha - the list of recent Finnish great Entertainers becomes longer and longer!
This is just a masterpiece of hack: It's completly polished, you can see from the very beginning how much work you've put into this. Your art style is so unique: Vanilla on the one hand, but so polished in every detail. The cleanness is so perfect: So little indicators, but still every jump is absolutely clear. Difficulty is just perfect for me - and also the chocolate is so well-balanced: More janky setups are shortend, so you'll never get salty.
Thank you so much for your effort - I've had such a great time with it and will play it (like the first sauna) multiple times for sure!

I have played the first Sauna Mario World many times and I love it. So I came here with big expectations.
And the expectations have been surpassed. Amazing levels. This is really art. Level design like its music composition. There is flow all the way through, you understand the beats and the harmony and then bang: a nice unexpected joke, that makes my face go like it does when listening to a good jazz solo.
I think the level design is on par with GPW2, but with a lower difficulty. Which is a good thing. For GPW2 I had to put in at least an hour per level (up to multiple days), while here I can enjoy it without investing time I don't have.
Only a few rough edges here and there, but mostly it's very polished. I didn't like the boo fight.
He just leaves. The feeling of chasing the orb and then chasing the boo is wasted. (though I lolled when the music changed xD)

tão boa quanto a primeira....parabéns
Sakaya From older version: Sauna Mario World 2 Link
I think it´s a big improvement to the first Sauna game. It was a joy to play through. The flow is amazing, the music is exactly my taste and yeah. One of those hacks you have to play. Thanks for the work <3

A more than worthy successor to Sauna Mario, full recommendation! The final boss kept me busy for a good while though and was a bit frustrating, but nothing to complain about all the rest of the hack
callmedoor From older version: Sauna Mario World 2 Link
The fact that this and Baker's Dozen came out in short order is a testament to how good and creative hacks can be. Sauna 1 was a top tier hack and this one is even better. The level design is solid and the tricks are cool and different.

Some very solid, tried and true setups mixed with some truly unique setups with some head scratching to how to do them. Play Sauna 1 and this and be happy!
LightAligns From older version: Sauna Mario World 2 Link
Very fun and well done hack. Feels like a great progression from Sauna 1, both in quality and ambition. Setups had great flow and felt intuitive, with a few figure-it-out sections that were interesting and not frustrating. Easy recommend.

This hack is absolutely great.5/5

YOU'VE just been GNOMED!

Pnaha has made an impressive and, more importantly, incredibly fun hack. If you played Sauna 1, you know what kind of setups to expect, only this time everything is bigger, faster, and in many ways, better. It is a very fast paced hack that will keep you moving around like crazy and using fresh setups and some of that chocolate that makes it especially good. Please do not sleep on this hack, you won't regret it!

Pnaha, I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best hacks I've played, and now one of my favorites. You have created something amazing that is able to follow up your previous hack which is already awesome. Thank you so much for all your hard work, and thank you for using my silly drawing as the art for it. I am forever grateful #w{<3}
