This patch makes Bluto, the NPC, partially playable! The other controller always controls Bluto.
You can control Bluto (left/right) make him jump and punch, throw bottles or reach down to the level below.
Is this the first ROM-hack ever that makes an NPC playable?

Is this the first ROM-hack ever that transforms an NPC to be playable?
