Hack description

Welcome to Dr. Mario (SFC) Tournament Edition! This hack aims to bring a new experience to both the single player and versus game modes.

All modes:
* Orphan pieces will fall with MUCH faster gravity - no more boring waiting!
* Y button mirrors the rotation of the A button, rather than doing nothing

Single player:
* Hold *UP* to prevent your falling piece from moving downwards. Press buttons while holding up to make it move slowly.
* X button destroys the currently falling piece

Versus:
* X button destroys your OPPONENT'S piece - only once per round
* SRAM access has been removed from the game, which should make it play nicely with netplay and stop desyncs from happening.

Patch the following file: "Dr. Mario (Japan) (NP).sfc"

[changelog]
v0.3
*VS mode: press X to destroy your opponent's piece - ONLY once per round
