| Super Mario Bros. 2 - POW and Eye Hack |
+----------------------------------------+

Jan. 30, 2018 - v1.0
   Public release, "whites" no longer drawn.

Jun. 03, 2017 - v0.9
   Initial test release.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Just because", I graphically hacked Mario, Luigi, and Peach to have
their eyes match how they look in the menu screens. I almost always play
as Toad, so I never noticed how weird the whites of their eyes look,
especially when they flicker. Thanks to SpiderDave, now the whites are
not rendered at all, so the entire game will have slightly less flicker.

I've also bugfixed the POW block graphic: the letter "O" was misaligned
in one frame.

Feel free to pick this apart and throw it into other hacks. If you just
want the POW fix, I believe the two tiles are at 0x027410 and 0x027430.

Mix it with SpiderDave's Improvement patch for best results:

I'm going to assume you know how to use IPS patches. I'm also going to
assume you know how to obtain a ROM to patch. Please don't ask me.

The included patch will work fine on either NES U ROM revision, but
REV A is preferred, since it has a few bugfixes.
I quickly tested the E and J ROMs, and those seem to be working fine.
The beta ROM does not comply.

As with my other patches, feel free to use this as a base for your own
projects, as long as I am credited in the readme.
