Serbow's Assault

While this file isn't necessary to play the game, it does provide a little insight into the hack. As I said in the hack description, this is not one of those hacks with crazy, game-changing ASM. Nor is it vanilla. Its basically an attempt to do something that I know 

Q1. What is the story?
A1. Mario returned to Princess Peach's castle to discover it was under attack. Serbow - Mario's most obvious villain yet - was responsible and .
.this opportunity to loot all of Peach's peaches. Now Mario must set forth into the Mushroom Kingdom to retrieve them.
Also, please note that I'm not taking this story too seriously. I find most hacks have either convoluted stories that I graze over impatiently, waiting for the gameplay or simple stuff. 

Q2. How do you pronounce Serbow? 
A2. I don't care. I've been saying it as 'Serbow (rhymes with row)' but 'Serbow (rhymes with cow)' is similar to the origin of the name.

Q3. Where are there secret exits?
A3. Any red dot stage or ghost house. No other stage (yellow dot, fortress, switch palace, or castle) has a secret exit

Q4. What are the star blocks for?
A4. The star blocks are found near P-Switches. These P-Switches aren't used to unlock any secret but instead are used to reveal bonus coins near the Star Block. Therefore, carrying the P-Switch around the level is mostly useless.

Q5. My music wasn't credited in a stage
A. Some music-credit blocks are found in side areas (for example, the first reset pipe in Hop to It!). Others will be credited in stages in a later version (most notable Bowser's Castle from Mario 64). All credits are below.

Q6. Yoshi's House has been altered. Whoa!
A6. Don't worry. I have my own custom ending in mind. I don't think the normal ending would have worked anyway because a bunch of peaches would hatch into Yoshis.
