| Description: | This patch rewrites the handler that sends players to level 000/100 or 0C8/1C8 when collecting 100 Bonus Stars or collecting the Yoshi Wings, respectively. With this patch, you can define the destination level numbers for any level, or let it randomize which one you're sent to. For "static" bonus games, you can specify the originating level as well as the destination level, as well as whether or not it's a standard Bonus Stars bonus game or a Yoshi Wings bonus game. For "random" bonus games, you merely specify the destination level and which of the two bonus games it is. |

This patch is written well enough and provides a collection of useful options, but its implementation seems somewhat "particular," in my opinion. There are a number of layered conditions at play that I could see confusing users despite the patch's instructions, which is doubly noteworthy as it's possible to configure this patch in a way that locks the game on entering a bonus/wings level. That all said, the patch ultimately performs just as advertised, and is still easily worth accepting.
Note that this patch allows entering arbitrary levels as bonus game levels. Some of the various quirks and caveats of doing this are outlined here. It would be nice in a future update if the Normal/Yoshi level parameter could be expanded into a full "properties" byte of sorts, with flags to control toggling $1425/$1B95 in the destination level.
Tested with Asar 1.81, Lunar Magic 3.33, SA-1 1.40, Snes9x 1.59.2, BSNES Accuracy 0.7.1.
