What's extra confusing (and maybe a little embarrassing) is that I can't see which changes I made to retry_table.asm before applying the patch because I have since overwritten that file. I confirmed this while playing last night, because I didn't respawn at the midway point when I died. So, my worry is that I messed something else up with the rom when applying the patch. This worked just fine, but there are dozens of other settings in the Retry System patch that are irrelevant to my needs. To have mario quick respawn after he dies. bps to SMW world, and then I applied the Retry patch (located here: ). Yes, and that's what I've already done with Kaizo Mario World 1. If I understood you well, you want to have the quick restart feature in some hacks that don't have it, yes?
