Interesting hack, fun to spot differenceszstandig2023-02-14Version 1.0

I like the attention to detail. Replacing the little '?' ball that BoomBoom drops with a key makes more sense as the gate that gets removed had a key hole.

The flicker fix is a great improvement and the usage of Mario Maker sprites is a great idea

This recent hack is my favorite for several reasons.Vallenatero20152022-12-26Version 1.0

This hack is amazing, suddenly I tried it on top of a Zynk Oxhyde hack (my other favorite hack) called Super Princess Peach 3 and suddenly it works great (except for some bugs not fixed yet). Now time runs slower than in the original, which allowed me to do infinite lives in world 1-2. It also allows you to use the items saved as in Super Mario World. What I really needed, that's why I recommend it. Thanks to the hacker who did everything possible to improve Super Mario Bros. 3.

Nice additons! But Picking and choosing would be betterr1ggles2022-11-27Version 1.0

There's a few things in here I could do without, like the item slot hack and maybe some of the graphical changes, but they're fun enough for a different playthrough. The biggest thing here that I'd love as a separately provided patch would be that bottom left flicker fix. Hope that's in the pipeline :D great work on each addition!
