  ===========================================================
  
  Change Log v1.1
 
 [AESTHETICS]
 -Every level has new custom terrain.
 -Some color palettes have been modified for clarity and appeal.
 -Every level is tested for colorblind accessibility (deuteranopia & tritanopia).
 -Some sprites were given a new look to better align with their hitboxes.
 -One sprite (no spoilers) was given a clearer indication that it is different from the others.
 -All shell tricks now have same-colored coin indicators to help beginners. (i.e. red shell, red coins)
 -Misleading coin trails have been redesigned.
 -Some color palettes were brightened to reduce eye strain.
 -Fuzzies have been given a custom bright boarder so they do not get lost on the background. (Stage 6)
 -I added custom numbered indicators to help with the "puzzle" in Stage 3.
 -I ensured that all all bushes go behind Mario instead of in front of him.
 -Robfather's Hideout (Yoshi's House) has more fun details.
 -The 2nd overworld's paths were touched up.
 -A total of five portrait rooms have been added.
 -The weird graphical glitch / cloud appearing on the rotating platform in Stage 6 has been fixed.
 -An issue with suddenly-appearing and/or disappearing sprites in Stage 7 has been fixed.
 
 
 [GAMEPLAY]
 -There is a whole new boss fight.
 -Boring stretches of terrain were either shortened or replaced with obstacles.
 -Stale and/or overused obstacles were replaced with new ones.
 -Blind obstacles have been altered to give the player a better chance at first-try success.
 -Some needlessly tight obstacles were adjusted by a block or two.
 -Obstacles that would be considered "walls" by some beginners were adjusted to be easier and more engaging.
 -Some areas that required waiting on Timed Platforms have been changed so Mario can jump off earlier.
 -More obstacles have been optimized for speed-run strategies.
 -Some cheese has either been removed or balanced with a fair risk-reward ratio.
 -Some non-essential Timed Platforms were replaced with Falling Platforms to reduce confusion.
 -Overworld movement speed is now twice as fast.
 -Stage 7 was extended in length by a few obstacles.
 -Some obstacles redone to provide more variety and smoother flow.
 -Stage 10 was given a a facelift, more vatiery in obstacles, and an extended second half. 
 
 
 [SPECIAL WORLD AND SECRETS]
 -The quest to start the secret world is described in plain writing instead of a riddle.
 -Directional hints have been replaced with graphical "treasure maps".
 -Each hint provides clear directions on what to do with the treasure map pieces.

 -Secrets are now easier to discover.
 -After finishing the last Special World level, Mario properly loops back to the entrance and is given a save prompt.
 
 
 [TEXT AND LORE]

 -The credits now include additional lore and a nod to the sequel.

  Thank you
  ===========================================================
 
  Special thanks to everyone who tagged me in random streams 
 just to say good job. It means the absolute world to me. I
 loved making this game, the experience surrounding its
 feedback, and engaging in the community. You are all really
 lovely people and I think that's rare to come by. If you are
 interested in making your own ROM hacks, don't hesitate to
 ask me where to get started. I'll be starting on the sequel
 of Robfather World, which will pick up in difficulty where
 the first left off. I look forward to all the experiences
 that project will bring, and meeting all the people who want
 to contribute.
 
  Last, but not least, thank you to Robfather and
 LexLuthorVandross (StankBriefs) for welcoming me into the
 community. It all started with a raid from Ryukahr, which
 lead to trying to make an emote for Rob. These guys gave me
 an outlet for my creativity. If you happen to see them, 
 floating around the interwebs, drop them some ryukLove.
 
  Thank you for playing!
