Super Mario Bros. 3: SMB3 (Definitive Edition)

Super Mario Bros. 3: Definitive Edition is a comprehensive hack of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System game Super Mario Bros. 3. It incorporates various patches that enhance gameplay features, such as the ability to save progress, improved graphics for levels, and new item mechanics inspired by Super Mario World. Additionally, it fixes several sprite bugs and revamps animations, providing an enriched gaming experience.

UPDATE: The Straight Fireball ASM had to be omitted because of a glitch with Hammer Mario doing the same thing with his hammers. Whoops.

This hack combines SMB3 patches into one hack that basically improves Super Mario Bros. 3 as a whole.

I do not claim any credit for the actual content - only for the hard work of making it all work together.

Features:

1. Ability to save the game.

2. Title Screen Music (special thanks to Koopa on the SMB3 Prime server for giving me the code).

3. Item Slot from Super Mario World

4. Blocks, Sprites, etc in levels now have 16 frames of animation.

5. The Graphics for the Big World levels have been properly up-scaled.

6. Hammer, Boomerang, and Fire Bros. now have different sprites to tell them apart.

7. The Spiny shell bug is now fixed

8. Treasure chests in Toad Houses now look better.

9. Luigi's color palette is now darker like on the map screen in game and on the title screen.

10. The spade house map screen graphics is now animated up to 4 frames.
