====Gameplay====
*The leveling curve has been migitated so 10 EXP is required to Level up from LV 1 to LV 2, then increases by multiples of 5 every future level up (15, 25, 40, 60, 85, and so on and so forth). The adjustment helps cut down on grinding, so playing through every stage once is enough to beat the game.
*Rather than each unit having strengths over very specific enemies, a secondary typing is introduced. Each enemy now has power over one secondary type along with primary typing.
**Basic (Goombas, Shy Guy, Fly Guy, Biddybud)
**Shelled (Koopas, Buzzy Beetle, Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, Spiny, Horned Ant Trooper)
