Question: How can I make a Lakitu/Magikoopa/Reappearing Boos stop following/spawning in after a certain point in my levels?

Answer: Place Sprite D2 in the level where you want them to stop. You can find this in Special Commands and Generators list of the Add Sprites Window.

Question: How can I prevent fade outs at the end of levels?

Answer: For no fade out at the goal, use this hex edit/patch and insert it with Asar.

This hex edit/patch does not disable fade outs after boss battles.

Question: Is there an easy way to fix a lot of SMW bugs?

Answer: Look through this link for bug fixes.

Question: My changes aren't showing up when I play the ROM!

Answer: Don't load from a savestate, and make sure you don't have any BPS files with the same name as your ROM in your ROM's folder.

Question: Can I rearrange the status bar?

Answer: The Status Effect tool can be used to change up the status bar. There are several patches that can be used to modify the status bar, as well.

Question: Why are my overworld paths showing glitchy tiles?

Answer: You very likely never uninstalled the title screen recording ASM. Open the Overworld Editor and go to File > Title Screen > Uninstall Title Moves Recording ASM.
