Hack description

This patch has a number of enhancements on top of the pre-enabled built-in "new quest."

- A new type of enemy, the "Spiny Beetle" has replaced the Goomba/Buzzy Beetle.
- Piranha plants are enabled on 1-1.
- When hitting enemies from below, they change direction much like the Spiny (instead of flipping).

An accurate description of a third quest if such a thing existed	Insane Mame Gamer (IMG)	2023-08-22	Version 1.0
During my playthrough of this one I used a patch that enables you the player to stay big after taking a hit as fiery Mario. I also used a separate character named Kevin to play through this hack, a player with a bit of a higher jump than his two siblings Luigi and Mario and was able to breeze through all 32 levels effortlessly with only dying probably once or twice. If I was aware the game wasn't going to be very difficult or as simple as it was I would have played through it normally without any addons. No real level changes or anything with this one but it was still fun nevertheless and reminded me of what it would be like playing through the original game three times in a row. Recommended for those SMB1 players who are seeking out a new challenge.
