Somthing like getting different options when picking up power-ups would be pretty cool. Like you need to hold in "Select" when picking up a mushroom to make you jump farther, but not pressing select would just get you a normal mushroom. Or, like BMF's item shop, you could buy completly new power-ups:

High Jump Mushroom - Feather
Death Mushroom - Mushroom
Ice Melon (like YI) - Fire flower

I think the new power-up idea would be really cool. Like if you bought the death mushroom, it would appear in the "changing item" sprite that you put in that transparent box.

Now I can actually use layer 3! (BTW, I bet that's some kinda scanline counter. Count 208 lines, then switch layer order.)

I does not seem to be that easy, since I tried out writing some values (i.e. FFh wasn't trying too long) to it without ever seeing a change... maybe it's rather a flag register aka "bit 1 makes ... appear, bit 2 makes pumpkins look purple instead of black, ...".

Yet, your idea about "switch layer order" is interesting, seeing that in the mode where you have a status bar and an L3 image in the background, there are still some invisible/disabled scanlines (yeah, the layer mask is -not- determined by tile-to-tile boundaries, meaning there are some tiles you only can see portions of) on layer 3 which you can write to without seeing any output.

Kids, remember! knuck apparently can't remember that ROMs are necessary for IPSes that should be applied to ROMs to work.

Are you that dumb or what? IPSes are in no way illegal.
Also i can use IPS for whatever the fuck i want, not only for ROM patches.

So that is how it works? That is how I made layer 3 appear throughout the screen...

Nice discovery. Now for me to mess around with this...

Question is, is there a RAM mirror of layer 3 (besides the status bar) or do we have to muck around in VRAM?

It seems there is none, since otherwise my Layer 3 changes would be erased at the point when my custom ASM is disabled. But they aren't. Yet, I know, there is a RAM mirror for the actually used status bar area. Look up the old memory location thread (-> Sticky) for that.
But, if you want to use all of the screen, yes, you'd have to muck around in VRAM.
