This graphically-glitched flying cage can be put into the game. Similar to the above object, this floating "gold" (it actually uses the tan palette of the Monty Moles) mushroom gives the player an extra life. Red coins would not make their official debut until Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, five years later. Collecting it will give the player five coins. If Sprite Buoyancy is enabled in the current level, this object will act like the smaller floating platforms found in levels such as Yoshi's Island 4.Ī red coin that continuously moves to the right like a P-Balloon. This platform will move to the right constantly once Mario lands on it.
#SUPER MARIO RPG ROM PATCH PATCH#
There is an Asar patch to correct this problem.
#SUPER MARIO RPG ROM PATCH CODE#
There is in fact code in the game to make the stem use the same tiles as the upside-down variation, but due to a bug, it doesn't work properly. Note that the upside-down variation of this is used in Vanilla Dome 3, but its stem has been made tileset-specific to the Cave object tileset, and since both Piranha Plants share their stem tilemaps, this explains why the stem of this has been moved.Īn unused, yellow upward facing Piranha Plant variant was shown in a prerelease screenshot however. Its vine tile has been replaced in memory with one of the frames of Cheep Cheep flopping around on land, using the red palette instead of their normal yellow palette. If you've ever played a Mario game, you should know how this works. Sprite-Based Objects Classic Piranha PlantĪ classic Piranha Plant. Even more stuff from earlier builds of Super Mario World can be found in the SNES Test Program and SNES Burn-In Test Cart. None of the levels have an opportunity to do this, however.Ī gigantic number of unused graphics and objects can be found hidden in the ROM. Pressing a silver P-Switch will turn Munchers into coins, as it does for most other enemies. Same as 0C (horizontal dark BG level), but uses a vertical layout. It's possible that a set of sprite graphics existed in this bank at one point during development. GFX bank 14 contains the pipe, block, Bullet Bill cannon, and Yoshi Coin graphics seen in every background tileset, none of which are used by any sprite in the game. Index F is identical to most of the other sprite indexes, save for the SP4 GFX bank (14), which only appears in one other index (B, Switch Palace). This would have allowed for above-ground rocky levels, similar to those of World 6 in the New Super Mario Bros. Index E (Underground 3) is identical to indexes 3 and 9 (Underground 1 and 2), except it uses a forest/mountain background GFX bank. As a result, all tileset-specific objects are scrambled, making the index mostly unusable. Graphics-wise, index A (Switch Palace 2) is identical to index 4 (Switch Palace 1), except it uses tileset 3, which is normally used by underground levels and castles. Unused Background and Sprite Graphics Indexes It may have been abandoned due to the obvious lack of a background layer when using this mode, and may have prompted the later addition of a non-transparent layer 3 water mode. Their position at the end of the mode list suggests they were "hacked in" somewhat later in development.Įarly screenshots showed a flooded grassy area using mode 1F, with water on one layer and ground on the other. The game contains two translucent level modes: one for horizontal layer 1/background levels (1E), and one for horizontal layer 1/layer 2 levels (1F). It only functions in levels with the layout mode set to 05 or 06. When this object is put into a level, the level will start out with a horizontal Layer 1 section, then transition into a vertical Layer 2 section. Unused Level Modes Layer 1 horizontal into Layer 2 vertical Used in the ys_romX_0 build for when the player stomps on Georgette Jellies. 3.3 Unused Background and Sprite Graphics IndexesĪn unused sound that would be repurposed in Yoshi's Island for when the player hits Expansion Blocks, unlocks levels, and jumps on Fat Guys.3.1 Layer 1 horizontal into Layer 2 vertical.Super Mario World is the first Mario game on the SNES, rushed and hacked together in time for release.ĭespite that, it's considered a high point of the franchise, partly due to the ridiculous amount of non-linearity and secrets within the levels.
