Hack description

This patch replaces coins with spikes that injure the player, thus damaging big Mario and killing small Mario. The code was originally found in a ROM from an old Japanese board.
The spike sprite was ripped from Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.

v.1.1 Added the letter K tile back since it's being used in the castle completion text

Really useful. I always hated instant death spikes. Making them just hurt is a genius move.

Coins can still be collected from boxes.
