 Ver. 1.5.2:

 - Gargoyle's Cliff: Made two jumps more tighter and harder to cheese or be skipped.

 - Qubasa Sport Field: Added extra munchers to avoid skips.

 - Forgotten Library: Fixed the ending screen. If you jump in the corners, you would be teleported to the boss fight.

 - Yamato Bamboo Field: Added a cement wall next to the end of the second half to avoid the player from walking to death. Colliding with an enemy in the right corner of the boss arena damages the player.

 - Kyushu Bridge: Changed enemy placement to avoid the despawn of a yellow koopa.

 - Mechanical Oedo: A lot of nerfs and adjustments. Basils are reverted to hurt only, instead of instakill. Removed a cheese from the first half. Second half now contain two reset pipes. Enemy placement adjusted. Removed slowdown in a certain spot. Added powerup remover in a certain spot to avoid players of cheesing the next obstacles. Adjusted 1-up checkpoint placement.

Known Bugs.txt

VERY KNOWN BUGS:

 --- LEVEL SPECIFIC BUGS ---

 - Qubasa Sport Field: The visual of the baseball bat hitting enemies is incoherent with the animation, however, the sprite still functions as it should.

 - Yamato Bamboo Field: Colliding with an enemy in the right corner of the boss arena damages the player. I have no idea how to fix that issue.

 - Gorgeous Stage Fort: Sometimes the boss will spawn in T-Pose until the health bar fills up. This is just a very minor weird behavior. The boss works as usual.

 --- MINOR GRAPHIC GLITCH ---

- Miscellaneous: Hitting the brick blocks with small Mario will cause them to use weird colors. It's just a minor graphical glitch, the blocks work fine.

--- MESSAGE / NPC BUG ---

  - At the end of Nocturnal Glacier and Kyushu Bridge, the two NPCs may not show their dialogue first time the player interacts with them, 
   but talking to them again, will show the message normally;*
   
* The same thing happens with the message box at the end of Mutsu Mountainroad. Hitting it again will make the message appear as normal;
