Thank you two everyone who had fun with my first hack! I didn't think people would play my hack



IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE PLAYING, PLEASE READ THESE:                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                        
-If you plan on playing this hack, I strongly recommend you play and finish the first hack as the story follows after that one but I can't control you, so do whatever you want.                                        
 Otherwise, thanks for downloading my hack!                                                                                                                            

-The speech bubbles with exclamation marks are just info boxes, hit them from below like you would normally.

-The level design might not be the best, that's because I'm still learning about level design. It's definitely better than my first hack (that isn't saying much). I tried my best with the levels. 
 I think they came out pretty good, but you might not. Hopefully my next hack will have better level design.
 
-Yoshi is only in 2 levels, his sfx mess up with most of the music so I only included him in two levels (even though they still sound weird in one of them) and I thought it would be better
 to have levels designed around Yoshi. He is still allowed in one level (5-1), but he isn't found in it.
                                                                                                                                                                      
-If you're wondering why there is no bonus game, well the small hitbox on the 16x32 player somehow prevents you from having any collision with the blocks. I had to    
 remove it because of that.                                                                                                                                            

-The green outlines indicate hidden blocks (there's no Green Switch Palace)
 
-The propeller block sprite is super glitchy, don't drop one in a bottomless pit as it will spawn like 4 other propeller blocks and delete the other sprites in the level.
                                                                                                                                                                      
-There are certain levels that you would expect to have low gravity, but don't. I don't like low gravity gimmicks so I didn't include any.

-Some levels have big doors that are a bit weird to get into, that's because the big doors are exclusive to the castle tilset and I'm not using that tilset for those doors. You just have to enter them from one
 of the sides as if each half was a seperate door.

-There is a bit of slowdown in some levels (mostly vertical ones). I tried to reduce it as much as possible. The only way I found to prevent the slowdown completely was to remove all sprites, so you can see
 why I didn't do that...

-(This one might count as a spoiler, so you can stop reading). The special world can be beaten before World 5, so the Museum level might spoil some things for you. I recommend not playing that level until after
 you have beaten the final boss.




PATCH NOTES:
This isn't the first verison of this hack. This one fixes a few issues and changes some things. I didn't change the
version number on the title screen as the previous version wasn't released (it would be weird for the hack to release on V 1.1 instead of V 1.0)

Changes:
-Three Star Coins have been moved a little (one in 3-1 Snifit Stroll, one in 4-3 Ectoplasm Manor and one in EX-3 Volcanic Depths)
-Certain music tracks (specifically the noticeably loud ones) have had their volume lowered, I didn't know how to do this before :/ (there were also some really quiet ones, but they were already on max volume)
-Reduced slowdown in most levels (where it was very noticeable)
-Removed some decoration as it was distracting in two levels (6-1 Hypothermia and Ex-1 Darkened Peak)
-Made the layer 3 fog slightly clearer where possible (didn't affect other things that shared the palette)
-Made certain background objects a little darker/different color to avoid confusion
-Fixed spelling (I have no excuse for bad spelling, English is the language I use the most)
-Added 2021 to the title as I forgot the year changed :/
-Revamped the visuals in 6-5 The Crystal Prison to make it look nicer (I hated the way it looked before so I decided to change it, I have no idea why I kept the old visuals for so long)
-Changed the arena for the boss of world 3, Princess Pansy (she would get stuck before)
-Used less Pansers in 3-4 Panser Palace (fireballs turned invisible when there were too many on screen)
-Changed the fire palette for the Ninji as some people couldn't tell the difference
-Removed a few enemies that were annoying (some Ice Bros and the Rocky Wrench in 5-4. If you know which one it is, then good for you)
-Changed the gfx for the frozen Heart and Fire Flower as "it looked like tooth paste"
-Longer timers
-Coins to direct you (no more blind jumps, unless I forgot some)
-Story is still pretty dumb
-Added Herobrine
-Removed Herobrine

Version 1.1 Changes:
-Made a lot of the small bubbles bigger in Spindrift Clouds and Celestial Tower
-Added 3-up moons in all of the special levels
-Added a ledge after the midway in EX-1 Darkened Peak so that you don't have to spinjump on the saws
-Added a reset door in EX-2 Perilous Pipes for the key section
-Removed some bouncing skulls in EX-3 Volcanic Depths
-Added a feather block in Celestial Tower at the midway, an extra mushroom in the P-balloon room and extended the ledge
after bouncing on the Wiggler in the room after the midway
-Added a feather block outside the Save Hut
-Added one more scene in the cutscene in EX-5 Celestial Tower
-Changed the Ninjis in EX-5 Celestial Tower to pink ones to distinguish them more
-Added a reset door in the P-balloon section of Celestial Tower
-Added an extra room before the checkpoint in 6-5 Crystal Prison and a new enemy
-Added one more cutscene and a secret room in 6-6 Hall of Memories
-Better scrolling in the propeller block sections
-Cape is now (mostly) attached to the Ninji
-More throw blocks in boss battles
-Nature's Wrath received some nerfs (less HP, less annoying attacks)
-Removed the Bullet Bills in the Crystal Queen battle
-Cutscenes no longer have a timer
-Super Ninji now has a falling animation (it didn't have one before, but the small Ninji did)
-The file select now says Ninji instead of Mario

Version 1.2 Change:
-The path above Panser Palace was already open, so I fixed it

SPECIAL HELP:
Counterfeit - helping with the postion of the hammer sprite and the position of the cape. I wasn't sure where to put their name in the credits, I went with ASM



Sorry if I somehow forgot someone's name in the in-game credits, 
even if you don't care, I believe that everyone should be credited

W7 - The Crystal Prison
EX - Extra World (Incredibly original)



NEW ENEMY NAMES:
Middle-Class Pokey - Pokey with a hat
Card Throwing Chuck - Self explanatory
Flailing Ninji - Fighter Fly reskin
Singing Star - Rip Van Fish reskin 
Astro Guy - Astronaut Shy Guy
Lil' Blizzard - Hopping snowball
Flutterby - Pink Butterfly
Brimstone Beetle - Pink Buzzy Beetles (I know actual brimstone is yellow, but I couldn't find a pink rock that starts with B)
Crystal Bouncer - Diagonal Lava Bubble reskin
------------------------------------------
Sergeant Bomb - Bob-omb Boss
Ninji Leader - Ninji Boss
Princess Pansy - Panser Boss
Bowser Junior - Boss
Kamek - Boss
Mario - Boss
Nature's Wrath - Final Boss 
Crystal Queen - Extra Boss



Random fact: there are 151 EXGFX files used, I'm clearly bad at managing the graphics...



Hope you liked my hack!
