I've been working on a MM1 Hack for a while, and just now tested all the levels, and they seem to work fine, except the ending is a big, glitchy mess. And all I did to the ending was just change some text. Do any of you know what the cause of this glitch might be and how to fix it?

If you change the text back, does it go back to normal?

You may have messed with one of the text control codes that come at the beginning and end of lines of text. Just be careful with changing those values. I've not looked into them, so I don't know their format. It looks like there's a #$22 in every one; I recommend not changing that byte. I don't remember what it has to do with, but I think I saw stuff like that elsewhere with drawing to the screen. Might be address-related.

Allright, thanks! I think I'll try changing the text back, and then maybe I won't change it so much. That should probably work.
EDIT: It worked!

You can still change it a lot, but be mindful of those codes. If you fiddle with them a bit, you'll probably be able to figure out the format enough to have a lot of freedom with your text editing.
