Super Mario Advance SNES Color Restoration 1.0

This is a rom hack for Super Mario Advance, the port of the SNES version of Super Mario Bros 2. In the porting process to GBA, the colors were brightened substantially to compensate for the original GBA not having a backlit screen (this was common with most if not all SNES-to-GBA ports). Unfortunately this renders the game's colors extremely bright and washed out on any screen that does have a backlight (including later models of the GBA which implemented a backlight). This patch will restore the GBA port's colors back to the original SNES version. It was created by Asaki, who created a similar hack for the GBA version of Super Mario World. All credit goes to him.

This patch was created for the Europe version of the Super Mario Advance rom only. Only apply the patch to a European Mario Advance rom. Applying it to a Mario Advance rom from another region will likely cause glitches and/or crashes.

This archive originally came with patches to restore the colors of Breath of Fire GBA as well as a Doom GBA un-censoring patch. Unfortunately i don't have these anymore and all known links to said files have apparently been deleted and lost. I was only able to salvage the Mario Advance patch. If Asaki is reading this by any chance, please feel free to correct any info here or upload the missing files.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
