Fix Jank with Highest Sprite Slots This tweak fixes some issues that happen with sprites occupying slots 10 and 11 (20 and 21 on SA-1), which originally are only used by reserve items and berries but are more commonly used with custom codes that spawn sprites.

Fix Vertical Level Priority Makes layer 1/2 priority against sprites work in vertical levels.		Details
Remove Lava in Iggy/Larry's Boss Arenas This series of hex edits removes the lava in the boss arenas of Iggy and Larry Koopa. Do note that the vanilla Larry fight has three podoboos, which just jump out of nowhere awkwardly. You can remove them in Lunar Magic. iggy larry mode 7		Details
Enable Continuous Yoshi Flight Makes winged Yoshi continuously ascend when jump is held, as if Mario has cape, even if he doesn't. yoshi		Details
Remove Score Sprite Delay For some reason, there is a small delay between a score sprite appearing and the score actually registering. For example, if you have a goal tape in a vertical level and you get the 3-up prize from getting 50 bonus stars, the 3-up won't actually register. Same thing if you die while collecting a 1-up shroom or 3-up moon at the same time. This hex edit should remove that delay, thus fixing this bizarre issue. However, if you collect a fishin' Lakitu's 1-up in the death animation, the 1-up still won't register.		Details
Change "Nintendo Presents" Timer Changes how long the Nintendo Presents screen will remain active. Timer is given as the number of frames, and a value of 0 will last for 256 frames instead. change nintendo-presents timer	Timer:	Details

Non-solid Reznor platforms This tweak makes the Reznor platforms non-solid after Mario hits their Reznor from below, making him unable to stand on them physics		Details
Throw Block Splash Fix Fixes Throw Blocks spawning with the wrong X high position, which can result in them interacting with blocks offscreen for 1 frame (which usually results in a water splash if buoyancy is enabled). throw block		Details
Change Exits Count Changes the number of exits required to display the "☆96" tiles on the file select menu.	Exits:	Details
Sprite Interaction on Left Edge of Screen Fix Causes sprites to retain interaction with Mario even while marked horizontally offscreen. This is only needed for sprites which don't already interact with Mario every frame (like platforms). This is especially noticeable for large sprites, like Banzai Bills, which will be marked offscreen and not interact with Mario when their left edge is offscreen, even though much of the rest of the sprite is still visible. bugfix sprite		Details
Remove "TIME UP!" Removes the "TIME UP!" message when Mario dies after timer reaches zero.		Details
Allow Climbing with Item This gives the player the ability to climb while holding an item. You will no longer need to throw the item up, stay on something scalable, and then grab it again. net vine		Details

Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro Throwing Hammers on Lava Fix This fixes a bug that if you defeat an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro and it falls into lava, the sprite will still throw hammers. bugfix		Details
"S" Letter with Misplaced Palette Fix This fixes a bug where the letter "S" in the "MARIO/LUIGI START!" message uses palette row 8, instead of palette row A like the other letters. As you might guess, this will make the "S" also use palette row A. Note that newer versions of Lunar Magic already fix this. bugfix		Details
Remove Bonus Star Timer 1-UP Removes the weirdly specific feature where if the tens digit of the player's bonus stars matches with the timer's tens and ones digits when finishing a level, they will be rewarded with a 1-UP. This can and will also happen if the player has less than 10 bonus stars and they clear a level that has no time limit (since the tens digit of the bonus stars matches with the timer, 0 - 00). This tweak removes this feature, fixing the issue mentioned earlier. bonus stars goal		Details
Change Dragon Coin Worth Changes how many coins the player gets from collecting a dragon coin. coin dragon coin	Coin worth:	Details
Disable Star Flashing Palette Disables the flashing palette from the star powerup. Useful if you want to have a custom graphic for it that shouldn't flash. palette powerup sprite		Details

Change Starting Lives Changes the amount of lives the player will have when the game starts. Note that values greater than 100 will cause the lives counter to show glitched graphics.	Lives:	Details
Double Key Jump Fix This mitigates a very niche glitch that prevents Mario from jumping when interacting with the top of two keys at the same time. More detailed explanation: When $1471 is set to #$02, it will force a specific behavior used by the Portable Springboard and Pea Bouncer sprites, which lets the player stand but be unable to jump. This is because those sprites are intended to "release" Mario automatically. When Mario steps on a Key/P-Switch, it doesn't force $1471 to a static value of #$01 like other rideable sprites; it increments the value instead. So if two Keys are simultaneously touching Mario, the value is set to #$02 instead and locking Mario's jump. These modifications force the behavior to apply to negative values of $1471 instead, and then forces the Portable Springboard and Pea Bouncer to write a value of #$FF instead of #$02 to $1471. This may require some tweaks to disassemblies or sprites based upon the Springboard/Pea Bouncer sprites. If you wish to detect this hijack within custom resources: Code if read2($00D60E) == $0E30 ;; hijack detected endif bugfix double key		Details
Change Menu Selection Sound Effect Lets you change the sound effect when you choose an option in the Title screen menu ($1DFC) choose menu sound	SoundID:	Details
