Game Description:
Super Mario Bros. 2 is an action platformer game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was based on a Family Computer Disk System game called "Yume Koujou: Doki Doki Panic".
Hack Description:
This is a simple patch for Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) that makes digging sand faster for all four characters, making it much faster to get through those tedious sections in Worlds 2 and 6.

This is done by halving the length of the digging animation and by applying max fall speed once a sand tile has been cleared, that way even Luigi can dig fast despite his normally slower falling speed.
