Weather effects (Mario Adventure)
Item shop (Mario Adventure and Luigi vs Mario)
Exploration heavy (Luigi's Coin Quest)
Traversing and backtracking worlds across the entire game with no cutscenes (Luigi's Coin Quest)
Hidden collectibles to gain access to blocked areas (Luigi vs Mario)
And so much more!
Overall, this is an ambitious projects that has involved:
Completely custom level format
A tile collision system built from the ground up
Object handling system rewritten from scratch
Every enemy rewritten from the ground up
4 brand new power-ups and expansions of 4 returning power-ups
New graphics effects including weather, new debris types, and displaying more colors than the NES can normally handle
