Zelda II - The Adventure of Mario v2.0.1

Description

Update v2.0.1 is now published. This is primarily a bug fix release, the crash in the left screen of Nabooru (Fire spell town) is fixed.

Mario sets out on his most adventuresome journey yet! Explore the land of Hyrule using 100% authentic Mario 1 physics and movement. Traverse the vast overworld, defeating dangerous Iron Knuckles and other familiar Zelda 2 enemies using the spells and tricks that Mario will find along the way. It's Mario 1 in Zelda 2. What else would you expect?

Will Mario save the princess as he always does?

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... :)

**THIS IS A ZELDA 2 ROM HACK.** The patch is for `Zelda II - The Adventure of Link[U].nes` and NOT for mario 1! If the patch doesn't work, please make sure you are patching zelda 2 not mario 1.

If you have a hash mismatch and you are using zelda 2 US, then its likely just a benign header mismatch, and its safe to patch.

If the title screen looks glitchy, use a better emulator (it might be fine during gameplay though.)

This hack also has full randomizer support! Check out the zelda 2 randomizer discord for more information at z2r.gg
