This update was baed on the originally released version, not the Plus version, but it aims to combine the best of either version.

Most essential changes:
- The Secret Aquarium renamed to The End
- Overhauled Dialogue
- Reduced red coins in cap stages from 8 to 6
- Made star replicas regular, permanent stars and relocated two of them
- Fixed the broken warp on overworld 2
- Made the WC entry more obvious
- Lowered final star count requirement from 53 to 30 stars
- Overhauled Dialogue
- Applied patches: Newest parallel camera, no false ledgegrabs, no lives, elevator patch, shells respawn, cap timer, slope fix, exit course while moving, hoot tweak, 46° wallkick
- Moved each a red in C2, C3, C4 and C5
- C1: Moved all reds to the lower level part and added plenty of coins
- C2: Added an invisible 10 coin box in an obvious position (cause why not, paying tribute to Peach's Memory)
- C3: Replaced jumping box at MC entrance with hidden boxes
- C4: Added a blue coin switch where the moved red was
- C6: Redesigned the red coin mission, added lots of coins to the now otherwise useless level section
- C7: Added coins, renamed "Fly Around" to "The Owl's Invitation"
