They just use the 'L' and 'R' buttons instead.
I think part of the idea is that then in would be able to store more and the sprites would be at a higher bitage with (possibly) more layers. Also, there are some useful things like the "map" that tells you what levels you have completed the normal/secret exits and if you got all the Dragon Coins. Also, it has the Peach coins, and saving without having just beaten a fortress/palace/castle. Since you can probably beat the levels you past relatively easily, or it is the kind of hack in which you use savestates, which means it just helps you against the annoyingness of beating a level over and over again. Also, it has both Mario and Luigi. That means it would be easier to create two characters like in Mario & Luigi Co-op Adventure. For a hack like Dr. Redrawn it would be perfect because of the menu. Worst comes to worst, there are a few things that need to be move around, etc. because of the change in screen size. Of course, Mario & Luigi can change thier field of vision.
Of course, it could just be for the purposes of emulation.
