Just what I was looking for	gravitygoesup1	2020-10-04	Version 1.0
This patch is exactly what I was looking for. I had no idea how to make the enemies jump higher and it's all right here in this simple patch. It even includes a patch for expanded ROMs using Editroid! The author of this patch was really thoughtful when they put this together. I will now be able to make hacks with enemies that actually work!
