Hack description

This patch re-enables an unused feature in Yoshi's Island which keeps track of the player's life count between resets, similar to the GBA version of the game. This means that you'll start the game with however many lives you had when the game was last saved, instead of starting with 3 lives.

NOTE: Yoshi's Island saves in the following situations:
- After completing a stage for the first time
- After getting a new high score on a stage
- After playing a bonus minigame
- After playing a bandit minigame

There are four patches included. Pick the one which matches your ROM's version (1.0 or 1.1) and type (headered or unheadered).
Patch using your IPS patcher of choice. (I recommend using Floating IPS)

This patch is also available as a configurable ASM file over on SMWCentral.
