*Yoshi 6 - Brown is Tan in the intro instead.
*Yoshi 7 - more Red.
*1.0 - 1.2 Only:
*Black Yoshi is in Secret Stage

A simple premise executed well marred by overstepping creative boundaries	isaac (U) (Rev 1).fds	2023-06-14	Version 2.1
I'll never understand improvement patches that bundle other improvement patches with no way to opt out. While I understand things like the red coins being obscured and (perhaps most infamously of all) Baby Mario's crying are very popular fixes for this game, they already existed as patches made by other users that could easily be applied separately. Luckily, this hack comes with some earlier revisions that do not include these fixes as a bundle. The same cannot be said for the gaudy Yoshi sprite changes. No matter how far you go back, those are included with the hack regardless. They're not very good sprite edits. The stylized "lack of legs" look for Yoshi was never a major issue for me, so it's quite jarring to see someone try to rectify what really isn't a problem. The subtitle change also doesn't really work, and if the author of the hack couldn't figure out how to change the palette indexing for the text in the logo, it probably would have been better to just not change it altogether. At least, in my opinion. If this hack were just Baby Luigi substituting for Baby Mario and the textboxes being updated accordingly, it would have been an easy recommendation. Simple, to-the-point, a good bit of fun. But unfortunately it's one of those hacks that tries to "improve" a dozen or so things and even throw in someone else's patches too as a bonus that you can't really opt out of without rolling back what patch version you use.
