Bug Fix: No
Featured: No
Description: This is a minor patch that slightly modifies some code near the 'Kill Mario' routine at $00F606 to do the following:
1) Remove the STZ to $188A at the tail end of the routine (which is normally cleared during powering down and upon dying), allowing it to be used as proper intra-level freeram, and
2) Adds a couple defines to allow storing zero to a different ram address on death (but not on powerdown) if desired. By default, the patch will disable vertical scrolling to more efficiently replicate this uberasm.

Added lorom tag.

A fairly simple patch. Usually, such a patch would be redundant by a hex edit (simply replace $00F625 with an RTL) but being able to clear RAM after a death (and only death since $188A also is cleared after soaring) does make it useful for other purposes such as disabling the scrolling of the screen during death.
