CTM is a fighting game adaptation of Chrono Trigger. You play as one of the game’s main characters (Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Robo, Ayla or Magus), and face other characters and bosses.

The title screen

Includes characters, stages, lifebars and more.

Each character has their own special and supermoves based on the original game.

Some elements are interpreted to be in a less top-down view.

Characters

Each character has its separate project page.

Crono

Silent protagonist.

Marle

The energetic princess.

Lucca

Childhood friend and mechanical genius.

Frog

The chivalrous amphibious knight.

Robo

Repaired automaton from a doomed future.

Ayla

Tough leader of the Ioka village.

Magus

Installation and Configuration

CTM is based, as the name suggests, on the MUGEN fighting game engine. You just download it and run the mugen/mugen.exe file to launch the game.

Music

The code for background music is already there (including appropriate loop points). However, the game’s music is not included to avoid blatant copyright issues.

If you happen to have Chrono Trigger’s OST as mp3 files, include the following songs (with these exact names) in the mugen/docs folder.

• Battle 1.mp3 (originally “Battle”)
• Battle 2.mp3
• Battle With Magus.mp3
• Black Dream.mp3
• Boss Battle.mp3
• Boss Battle 2.mp3
• Confusing Melody.mp3
• Critical Moment.mp3 (also known as “A Shot of Crisis”)
• Fanfare 1.mp3
• The Brink of Time.mp3
• The Trial.mp3
• Tyranno Lair.mp3
• Undersea Palace.mp3
• Wings That Cross Time.mp3
• World Revolution.mp3
