Fixed Bugs

• Prior to version 1.9.2:
  • Sun Rays would appear in front of Section Chemical Solution and Section Burst Water.
  • MM1 Statue would appear above Turbo Crates and Health and Weapon Energy Modifiers in play when they would appear behind them in the Level Builder.
  • MM1 Statue would appear in front of a number of assets such as spikes and many level objects.
• In version 1.9.0, Sun Rays would act as invisible solid in play.
  • Although this bug was fixed in 1.9.1, playing levels with Sun Rays placed in 1.9.0 would crash the level in 1.9.1 or 1.9.1.1. This was later fixed in 1.9.2.

Trivia

• Conditions for placing certain decorations (such as the Crash Orb and the Water Pressure) were removed in version 1.9.2.
• For decorations added in version 1.9.0, Luigi assisted Meka by ripping the sprites from their source games.
