Mario Rescues the Golden Mushroom

History (up to Demo 2).txt

HISTORY:
--------

This hack originally started as a vanilla hack (with no custom palettes, sprites, music and ExGFX) and would be only 1 world long. It had the name "Super School World" (this version was never released) because the W1 levels were made on a school computer.

After finishing all of the W1 levels, I added custom palettes, some ExGFX, custom music (all of them were from VLDC7 and VLDC8) and custom sprites. I also replaced the game's font with a custom font by WhiteYoshiEgg. The hack's name was then changed to "Quest on Mushroom Island".

Demo 1 initally had a custom Iggy boss because of the Minimalist Course Clear patch. However, once reaching Iggy, the player is stuck there because that Iggy boss cannot be damaged with jumps. It was then replaced with imamelia's Giant Goomba boss.

While working on Demo 2, I ported everthing to a new ROM due to PIXI and it now has the SA-1 patch applied. The song selection was entirely redone. The palettes were also changed because the old ones were too saturated. I also changed the name to "Mario Rescues the Golden Mushroom" because the name in Demo 1 was similar to the name of a hack called "Quest on Full Moon Island" (another SMW hack), by Storm Kyleis.

From Demo 2 onwards, you can only play as Mario.
