Super Mario World - Super Mario Advance 2 DX ROM

Super Mario World – Super Mario Advance 2 DX is an enhancement hack for the GBA version of Super Mario World. It contains various improvements and bug fixes.

Features

• The high scores on the title screen start at 0.
• Removed a button combo showing a build date at the beginning of the intro.
• The game saves, which save data, were saved last.
• The Yoshi coin in the second intro level changes into a Peach coin once they are unlocked.
• The status of the two intro cutscenes (color palette, sprite set, Yoshi coin) now changes depending on what is unlocked in the last used save data.
• Checkpoints get reset when you save & quit the game to make collecting Yoshi coins easier.
• Save and choosing back to return to the overworld can be used in Yoshis House and Top Secret Area at any time.
• The save prompt no longer appears after beating a ghost house, the ghost ship, or a level in the special world because you can save at any time by pressing Start.
• Wrap around (pressing up while on the top entry in a menu puts the cursor to the bottom entry and vice versa) has been added on several menus that didn’t have it before.
• Mushrooms no longer overwrite flowers and feathers in the item inventory.
• Items in the inventory no longer auto-drop when Mario/Luigi becomes small (to prevent Mario/Luigi from being unable to get the item).
• A sprite that was carried over the goal no longer gets changed into a red mushroom if Mario/Luigi is already big and the inventory is not empty. It gets changed to a 1-up mushroom instead.
• Mario/Luigi get 100p for collecting a regular coin (like in virtually every other Mario game). Coins from a coin block also give 100p each.
• Several sprites (red mushroom, flower, feather, star, p-balloon, etc.) get changed to a coin when they’re on screen while Mario/Luigi enters the goal (inspired by SMA4/SMB3). This does not happen to items in the inventory.
• Yoshi now stays in the Lakitus cloud even when Mario/Luigi unmounts him.
• Removed the time limit in Top Secret Area.
• Yoshi now swallows null sprites immediately, because he is not able to spit them out in SMA2 anyway.
• ?-Block with Yoshi inside and star blocks respawn after resetting the area (coin counter for star block still gets reset after getting a 1-up out of it).
• 3up moons and hidden 1ups reappear when reentering a level instead of having to reload the save file.
• The background in Forest Secret now moves more slowly.
• The smasher in several fortresses is behind other sprites (like in the SNES version).
• Line guided Fuzzy can be killed and eaten by Yoshi like the other Fuzzies that move around blocks.
• The reward chain when enemies are on the screen while touching the goal now starts at 1000p and gets increased by 1 step at a time instead of starting at 100p and getting increased by 2 steps at a time (inspired by SMA4/SMB3).
• The reward chain when killing multiple enemies with a shell or a star or stomping on multiple enemies in a row now caps at 5ups instead of 1ups.
• The reward chain when collecting silver coins now caps at 5ups instead of 3ups.
• The reward for collecting more than 5 Yoshi coins in a level caps at 5ups instead of 1up.
• Ups get added much faster to the counter.
• When Mario/Luigi touches a checkpoint while being at least big and the inventory is empty, a mushroom gets in the inventory.
• The speed at which an item that a sprite gets changed to when carrying it through the goal was reduced to prevent it from going offscreen and despawning.
