THIS HACK NEEDS A NAME!!

Thank you for playing, and no, it's never going to have an actual name.





VERSION HISTORY (Spoiler alert)

v2023.1 (4/--/2023)
 - Fixed Luigi's fireballs not being the correct colors in certain areas.
 - Added on to the secret "Star Chamber" areas, making each one more unique.
 - Various minor level edits/fixes, including removing the hurt blocks in the Jukebox's Dungeon of Disorder area that weren't supposed to be there.

v2023.0 (4/9/2023)
 - You can play as Luigi now! He jumps higher and falls slower, but runs slower and can't turn around as quickly. Also his fireballs travel straight.
	*at the cost of removing the option for a 2 player game, because I don't know how to make the physics and graphics different for each player, so instead I just made two separate versions.
 - The story has been rewritten and is now more coherent.
 - Added a few completely new areas here and there. Some already existing levels and areas have been redesigned/replaced completely.
 - If the secret exit to a castle is found, its number sign on the world map will change to red.
 - Worlds 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 each have their own unique "above ground" graphics.
 - Three new custom music tracks: "Yogurt Yard" in world 4, "SMW Cave, Icy Remix" in world 5, and "Top Man" in world 7.
 - ExAnimated palettes for levels such as Disco Dungeon are less obnoxious. ExAnimated tiles for hurt blocks and such are synched properly.
 - The final level of the Expert World went through some changes... The scrolling screen of offensive and edgy text was changed. Boss battle is less flashy.
 - The Multiverse (grand final post-117 exit challenge) went through a lot of visual and level design changes. Completing it will count as the 118th exit!
 - The jumping sound effect was removed cus I think it's annoying.

(End spoilers)





TIP

You can make the two versions share the same save file. Just put the two ROMs in separate folders, but have the ROM files share the exact same name.





KNOWN ISSUES THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX

 - Some overworld tiles won't change/show up when they're supposed to (ex: after beating Castle #2, the door to the volcano won't open at first, but if you come back outside then it's open.)
 - Luigi will not go up the purple triangles unless he is running at full speed.
 - Luigi's altered physics make for some hilariously screwy castle destruction sequences.
- Yoshi will not go into the screen scrolling pipes (FuSoYa's old ones.)
