Quick mechanics update. As I mentioned before (somewhere, not sure where), this game is being modernised in terms of mechanics and what not. As a result, the following are all now gone from the game:
Lives (like in Odyssey, you have infinite lives)
Points (no score system is present at all)
Bonus Stars (you could never reach the bonus game anyway, since Super Mario Bros 3 style goals don't give you them)
Time (there's no timer at all)
And the coin counter is going to be adjusted to give players more than 99 at a time, for spending purposes.
