I was doing some debugging on Mario vs Luigi and stumbled across this.
If you force the time value to 0, the game will actually end and this will appear. The values do not display the wins of each player, they just seem to be set to 0.
I don't remember seeing this text anywhere in the game either.

Maybe that's an unfinished/unused object that shows up when the game tie?

That MAY be a win counter for when they used the flagpole as the finish. That would explain why when you grab a flagpole it doesn’t count a win tword either bro

Funny how the texts "Mario" and "Luigi" are capitalised. That usually only happens to English words in the Japanese version of NSMB.

Wait a tic
That's the mysterious A_hyouji_8bit_ncg.bin file!

Pallete seems to be deleted though...

There is also an unused text that displayed the "Mario Start" text in the e3 versions of the game if i remember right.

Just noticed, the *garbled text* Loses is in Blue, while in the final version of MvL, it's red for Mario, and Green for Luigi.
