                           ADVENTURE ON GEMSTONE ISLANDS *DEMO VERSION*

Happy belated Year of Luigi! Originally known as "It's Another Hack with Mario in it! Yay!", Adventure on Gemstone Islands is a chocolate hack focused on level design rather than storytelling, trying to remain as faithful to the classic Super Mario Bros playstyle as possible.
While a tad shorter and more linear than the previous demo, this release presents a total revamp of the project, boasting new graphics, a redesigned overworld, more original music and even custom sprites!

This demo contains the first 3 worlds and 21 available exits, and has been confirmed to work on the following emulators: higan v094 x64, SNES9x v1.53, and ZSNES v1.51.
For bug reports, suggestions or whatever, feel free to send me a PM (User ID 5029). All feedback is welcome!
