|  Info          |
------------------

This hack was started in early 2021, and I thought I had it mostly wrapped in September 2022, but got stuck on a game breaking bug and not knowing how to make an overworld.

Three years later, I decided to pick it back up and finish it.  After a name change, and extensive revisions, this is the result. I did not hold back with my recent revisions, and "nerfed" a ton of sections, even deleted half of one level and brought back a section that was previously scrapped.

This hack is dedicated to all the games that had an impact on me growing up, or even as an adult.  Every song, every custom graphic (in the secret rooms), and the dumb story all make for a tribute of sorts to my upbringing in the NES and SNES era.

There are a few secret rooms throughout the hack.  They serve no purpose other than to provide a moment to listen to the music and enjoy the scenery. Some of them don't even have message boxes. Just take a moment to rest in these rooms, no need to find any deep meaning or usage from them.

You cannot start+select to exit levels, use the "EXIT" option in the retry menu.  Yes, it's the old school retry menu. 

Press "select" at any time on the overworld to save your progress, INCLUDING checkpoints.  You will also get a save prompt after every level.

Thank you for playing and I hope you enjoy my hack!
