06/16/02
* World 4 is done! World 5 is next...
* I made a few changes to Worlds 3-3 and 3-4.
* It's been so long that I don't remember what I needed help for/with/on, so
  I'm no longer looking for help...
* I've also updated the Contact section.

08/05/00
* Whee! I've finished up to World 3-4! World 4-1 is next...
* An interesting note: I don't know if this only happens in the 3-4 castle,
  or in all castles, but when you die, you start your next life with whatever
  time was left on your timer...
* I'm looking for a little help here. If you know alot about hacking SMB1, and
  possibly SMB1 pointers as well, please let me know...
* Also, I've added a Contact section to this file. How could I have forgotten
  it?

07/15/00
* Everything up to World 2-4 is finished. World 3-1 has not been started yet.

05/30/00
* OK, first of all, the version number will tell you what worlds are finished.
  The final version will be listed as v1.00 instead of v0.84.
* This patch is for the Title vesion of Super Mario Brothers.
* World 1 is finished. World 2-1 has been started, but just barely.
* A lot of graphics have been changed.
* I'm trying to think of a name for this hack... As soon as I get one, I'll
  hack the Title Screen.

Koopas. Bowser, who has managed to capture the Princess again, now has to
defend himself from his former lackies.
