The Invasion 2 is a Super Mario Bros. X episode. It was created by Redigit.
Unlike the original Invasion, it has only 7 bonus levels as opposed to 12 and adds the "Star Palace", an area with many bonus items for the player to collect if they have enough Stars. It also introduces names for worlds and map warps.
It is often recognized as one of the best episodes ever made, and considered a classic due to its presence as the only default episode in the 1.2 and 1.3 eras of SMBX.
Pwnhammer
"Pwnhammer" is the general name for a series of levels in the Invasion and Invasion 2. They are uniquely Metroid-themed and feature special weapons for the player to use, such as the Billy Gun and the Super Flamethrower.
The levels featured in the Invasion 2 are Pwnhammer (level15.lvl) and Pwnhammer Duece (level25.lvl). The latter is notable for including a hidden battle against Mother Brain. The original Invasion also included a third level, Revenge of Pwnhammer, but it is not included in the Invasion 2.
Invasions
Four levels carrying the Invasion name are also included in the episode. There is one in the Koopa Kingdom, one in the Hurtful Hotlands, one in the Rawest Forest, and one in the Wet Water Zone.
All four levels use the Corneria track as their stage music and feature a large amount of airships and moving layers.
The Invasion 4 is notable for being the only level in the Invasion 2 to feature Clown Cars.
Dungeons
Four dungeons are featured as boss levels in The Invasion 2.
The Dungeon of Pain is found as the last level of the Mushroom Plains and is Super Mario Bros. 3 styled. The boss is a single Boom Boom.
The Dungeon of Agony is found as the last level of the Subcon Underground and is Super Mario Br'os. 2 styled. The boss is Wart.
The Dungeon of Strange Happenings is found as the last level of Dino Island and is Super Mario World styled. The boss is Ludwig von Koopa, or, in an earlier version of the episode, six Reznors, bosses from
The Dungeon of Inappropriate Phrases is found halfway through the Koopa Kingdom and is Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels styled. The boss is SMB1 Bowser.
Final Level
The final level, known as The King of Koopas, is a long, difficult castle featuring many foes, such as SMW Ninjis, Thwomps, and Bowser Statues. At the end, the player must battle SMB3 Bowser first by forcing him to break through his own floor, then by tricking him into jumping into a pit after manually removing Donut Blocks.

old memories.- First Dungeon, is equal to the first dungeon of SMB3.
- Level 6, "Subcon Nightmare Land", is similar to the first level of SMB2.
- Level 20, "Go go Goomba" is somewhat similar to the first level of SMB1.
- Level 36, "Underground Battle Arena" is an epic game like "Mario Bros." of 1983.
- Level 49, "King of Koopas", is similar to the last level of SMB3, until Bowser appears in almost the same battle.
