Hack: Super Mario Infinity 2 - The Cursed Gem
Created by: Reading
Release Date: 2007

Fixed by: SimFan96

This is the fixed version of Super Mario Infinity 2 - The Cursed Gem. This version fixes the latest released version of the hack to be compatible for accurate emulators.

Fixes provided:
* Fixed broken music included in the game originally which would crash accurate emulators and on actual SNES hardware.
* Fixed issues involving incompatible code in Jonwil's Palette-changing blocks which would change colors upon touched. In accurate emulators, the displayed palettes would not display correctly, this has been fixed. The blocks have been replaced with UberASM to run code during NMI when the player passes through the original Y coordinates for the block's original position. 
* Spritetool code fixed that caused sprites not to initalize properly.
* Multiplication/Division code fixed to work accurately on accurate emulators.
* Fixes a 1 frame flash that occurs on the Nintendo Presents and Mario/Luigi Start Screen on accurate emulators. 
* In order to perserve the original hack as best as possible, I've included two bps patches, one which is only compatibility fixes and the other is playability fixes which intends to make the hack more playable. Do NOT patch the playability fixes to the Super Mario Infinity 2 music fix only ROM, and apply it to an unmodified Super Mario World ROM if you intend to play that version.

Playability Patch Fixes:
* There's a screen-scrolling pipe in Glass Secret 2 that instantly kills the player upon entering it. The player will now no longer be able to die by entering the pipe.
* If the player presses down on the D-Pad in the overworld on the level tile "Vacant Void 5" without the star warp being revealed, Mario would get stuck requiring a game reset. The "Enable Down" flag has been disabled for the level. However, you can still reach the star warp by going through the left path and pressing down when reaching "Vacant Void 3" and then moving to the right. The player will then be able to walk on both paths to the star warp.
* Slopes in cloud levels would not behave correctly and behaves as an incorrect block which would cause the player to walk or slide incorrectly on these slopes. This has been fixed so the player can now walk or slide matches the slope's design.
* Fixed issues with some levels not having correct sprite headers.
* Extreme FastROM to reduce slowdown.
* Crash fixes that involve L+R scrolling into an autoscroller sprite and collecting a cape above the screen during an autoscrolling level.
* SRAM Expand in order to save Mario/Luigi's "star trinkets" (or, star points) whenever the game is saved, and will be saved in the game save when the console is reset/turned off. 
**SPOILERS AHEAD** This makes it much more easier as collecting 100 star trinkets is required to activate the green switch, and is therefore required to complete the game.
**Spoilers end here**

Known issues:
* There are some music issues when it comes to percussion instruments not reloading immediately after Star or P-Switch music has finished.
* Some slowdown issues still persist.

If you find any other issues with this fixed version of the  
hack don't hesitate to message me at the user SimFan96 of  
SMWCentral and Talkhaus. Thanks for reading!
