Mother 2 (Deluxe) SNES ROM

Patch v.3.0.15

NEW FEATURES:
- You can now have 6 letter names for party members! (thanks, vittorio!) Dog, Fav Food, and PK Special names also changed to being able to be much longer than 6 letters. (Major thanks to phoenixbound for answering my many ASM questions!) Some windows changed to make space for longer names. Also added 2 extra sets of Don't Care names with a TMNT theme and a "classic EB" theme.
- Added Boomerang item to optional content. Gives 28 OFF and can be used by any party member. Never misses, but cannot SMAAASH!! like a Slingshot, and hits a row of enemies like a yo-yo. (Thanks SupremeKirb and phoenixbound for answering my ASM questions!)
- Added a new Magic Cake item to Magicant and optional dungeon #5 (instead of Bento of Enlightenment), restores 40PP to the party, does not interact with condiments. This is not the same as the EB Magic Cake.

ODDS AND ENDS:
- Changed Jeff's "Check" Tool name to "Super Monster Checker" in honor of the M2 novelization.
- Added the fact that Shoot and Swing weapons cannot SMAAASH!! enemies to their associated items' Help Text.
- Ness' Demon battle sprite now wears a backpack.
- Removed an item from optional dungeon #3, rearranged some of the items there, and added a second copy of a unique item in the boss treasure room.
- Made the Hand-Aid Help Text a little more clear.
- Slightly edited the description text of Lifeup Gamma.
- Added 2 NPCS to the Xtras area: one to let you watch cast/photo sequence, and another to battle against enemies.
- Updated Title Screen to v3.0.15.

- Corrected a few missing cutscene bars in certain places.
