Difficulty: 6

Get Rich Quick is a hack where you have to collect a certain amount of coins as fast as you can. The levels are generally traditional, and beating them is not particularly hard, but getting a platinum time is going to be a serious challenge that would often involve various kaizo tricks.

Version history: 1.0.3: Fixed a music change bug, and adjusted some hint wording. 1.0.2: Fixed a slight visual bug with the timer in Grand Prix stages. 1.0.1: Updated Grand Prix levels to not contain the -S rooms.

The changes are largely designed to remove annoyances during regular gameplay, but retain roughly the same mechanics for high-level gameplay.

- Wallclips have been patched by removing the solidity of blocks that have another solid block above. Blocks still have their vanilla pushing behaviour.
- Camera always behaves as if you have takeoff.
- Yoshi berries are less janky.
  - Eating a berry immediately puts it onto the tongued state, removing the ability to glitch them.
  - Double-eats are patched by removing the ability to tongue-eat a berry whilst it is being mouth-eaten.
- Eating a dead (state < 8) sprite with Yoshi no longer swallows it.
- Cape has turnaround fix + 8 frame float.
- Block duplication is patched by queueing the hit block position.
- Block double-hits are patched by instantly overwriting the block instead of waiting for the bounce sprite to do it.
- Most crashes are turned into no-ops.
  - Invalid sprite IDs are instantly despawned.
  - Invalid powerups are a no-op, but still place items into the item box.
- Sprite spawning is vanilla.
