#### Quality of Life Changes
* Choosing CONTINUE at the game over screen while in a palace will restart you at that palace. Careful, if you game over outside of a palace, you will go back to the start of the game.
* When in the spell menu, press UP + SELECT to enter the game over menu. You can use this to CONTINUE and reset your lives before starting a palace (but be warned you will lose your EXP!)
* Instant text boxes
* Your most recent spell is stored, so you can continue to cast it with SELECT until you change spells
* And many more... :)
If the title screen looks glitchy, use a better emulator (it might be fine during gameplay though.)

Amazing. Just played through the whole thing and had a blast. One thing though: having the ability to break bricks with your head can allow a softlock on the first key in Palace 1 since you don't have the Tanooki or glove yet to break bricks sideways. Happened to me the first time, I got stuck in a vertical column right above the key location. Maybe you shouldn't be able to break bricks with your head without the glove?
Super fun hack. Just beat it a little bit ago, glad I saw that you updated it and fixed the crash in Nabooru. You should collab with Hoverbat and make this a feature in his Z2 remake, it'd be super cool to play through it as Mario with the same mechanics.
Uploaded v2.0.1 which fixes a crash in nabooru and a few other small fixes.
I uploaded version 2.0 which fixes the softlocks in palace 3. Also adds lots of new features and I started the beta test for the randomizer release! Check it out at z2r.app/mario
@mamaluigi Its on bandcamp! I updated the description to include the link.
@blazingraven495 There is a way to break blocks as small mario that you unlock later in the game. I am brain storming ways to work around this before you get the power up still, and I'll push a new update when I think of something good.
