Hack description
Kamikaze Mario DX+ is the final hack released by 79, one of the great Japanese SMB hackers of the early 2000s. This hack features graphic changes, new power ups, and all enemies are changed to either bullet bills or piranha plants. There are many secrets and puzzles, including 5 hidden worlds. This "DX+" version has 4 more worlds than the previous "DX" version.
Unfortunately the original DX+ rom does not work properly on modern emulators or real hardware due to some mapper implementation issues. This release includes a rom which fixes that issue. The original game also features a Mario sprite which is not wearing any pants. There is an optional "with pants" rom included for those who'd rather not know Mario quite that well. The sprites have been modified as little as possible to retain the original look.
There are three patch files included in this package:
Kamikaze Mario DX+.ips -
The original rom released by 79, which does not work in most modern emulators

This rom fixes the mapper issues but has no other changes
