Tip: Use this patch to fix the bug where editing the upper right 8x8 tile of the sideways walking Koopa Troopa in GFX01 makes the coin sparkles look glitchy.
Unlike Iceguy's patch, this patch remove several stuff that he left out:
-forgot to remove score sprites that appear when you hurt/kill enemies.
-the last "0" on the status bar.
-not to store tile $FC every frame, this is noticeable if you put custom counters on the space where the score was.
This means you don't have to use external tools to remove all score-related stuff in the game, this patch does it all for you.
credit goes to me and WhiteYoshiEgg (he made the disable score sprite code), and yes, I got his permission:

2020-01-24 update:
Fixed a rather small oversight that the score code will STILL write blank tiles if the first n tiles/bytes at $0F29-$0F2E contains the value #$00 (which that displays the "0" graphic). This is because the people who wrote at $008EDB ($008E1A on the ROM map section) forgot to double-check the code just after $008EDB and $008F09 that checks the digit tiles, from left to right, if there is a leading 0, replace it with #$FC.
