About:
------
This hack does the following changes to the game:
* Adds sound effects to the title screen demo.
* When Fire Mario takes damage, he turns back to Super Mario instead of Small Mario.
* Edits the ending text to clarify how to select worlds for hard mode (and changes "we" to "I").
* Fixes lives display when having 10 or more lives.
* Fixes the Spiny egg behavior.
* Reduces the amount of hammers Bowser throws, making it easier to dodge them when jumping over him.
* Changes the exclamation point graphic's height to be consistent with the other characters.
* Flips Bowser's fire to the correct direction.
* Adds a block above underwater exit pipes, preventing Mario from clipping there while big or with flower and getting stuck there until time runs out.

* Changes the castle at the start of 5-1 to the large one.
* Adds animations to ? blocks, coins, brick blocks, water/lava, castle flag and podoboo.

* Changes Small Mario's jump sound to be the same as Big Mario's.
* Fills the outline of the cloud/bush.
