Description:	This patch allows Mario to shoot Yoshi's Fireballs, similar to when you get that special secret item in DW:TLC. However, it has more abilities: first, it has a block flag, so you can restrict the fireball shooting in certain levels with the aid of UberASM; second, but not least, it has a cooldown timer. There's a distinction with the buttons: the X button is responsible for the Yoshi's Fireballs shooting by default. To be assembled with asar, tested both with LoROM and SA-1. Credit is greatly appreciated. v1.1 change: Now lets the user swap tilemaps with the Flopping Cheep-Cheeps in order to accommodate the Fireballs' tiles into SP2, making them compatible with every tileset.

I'm removing the 'bug fix' check for this. First off; the fireball graphics not being global was never a bug to begin with, it's just how the game was designed. Besides, yoshi's egg and his throat swallow 8x8 tile aren't global as well.
And second, this is a whole feature being added! It's not a bug fix patch.

I don't really know, as I certainly did not checked this option when I submitted. Perhaps it's because it moves the Fireballs' GFX so they can be used with all tilesets.

Why is this is a bug fix?

Other than the new feature, the patch code is identical to the previous version. The change works fine. Remapping the fireballs to SP2 definitely makes more sense since this is a global ability.

This is a very interesting idea for a mechanic and I'd love to see a hack make use of it. This revision of the patch is vastly improved from the original version, both in functionality and ease of use.
