Hack description

Bust-M-Up is a hack made for the SNES version of Bust-A-Move. Do not use this patch with a Puzzle Bobble ROM. Even though they appear to be the same game, there are minor differences which will render the patch useless given the wrong game. Easiest way to tell if you've got the right ROM is to open it up and read the title screen. Anyway...

What is changed:
-All 100 levels re-mapped
-4 bubbles in a row to pop (instead of the usual 3)
-Credits changed
-Boss takes 10 hits (used to be 12), but has a new "arena"
-Brown bubbles and invisible bubbles can't be popped, so they present a new challenge to the game

I think this hack is thought provoking and worth trying as it makes a fundamental change to the gameplay - requiring 4 bubbles minimum connected to make a match instead of 3.
