Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels 1986Cannons, hammers, coins, power-ups and blocks (ProcessCannons through BlockObjMT_Updater) are Super Mario Bros.'s with the poison mushroom added and one player: BumpBlock's contents table gains poison mushroom blocks and MushFlowerBlock gains PoisonMushBlock, which sets power-up type 4; PowerUpObjHandler walks types 4 and 5 like a mushroom; BlockBumpedChk checks 19 block metatiles where Super Mario Bros. checks 14; GiveOneCoin and AddToScore use fixed offsets where Super Mario Bros. indexes by CurrentPlayer; the head-collision and coin checks use the renumbered metatiles. SetupPowerUp is byte for byte Super Mario Bros.'s, though the poison mushroom now passes through it, and so are InitBlock_XY_Pos and SpawnBrickChunks; the cannons, hammers, jumping coins, brick shatter and bouncing blocks differ only in their addresses.Code
