Seed mod
This is a patch that can be applied to the Dr. Mario ROM. It lets you choose a seed when playing in single-player mode, and shows the seed while playing. To set the seed, press "down" from the music selection to activate the seed selection. Left and right adjust a single digit at a time; select advances through the digits.
Level cap mod
This patch removes the level-24 cap, letting you play later levels. They are still clones of level 20, of course, but at least you get to count how high you've wrecked the game!
Speed display mod
This patch shows the combined speed instead of only the coarse speed (as described in Gravity).
SNES RNG mod
This patch modifies the random number generator to use the SNES version's RNG instead. The level generation and pill generation algorithms are not modified, but their source of randomness is improved.
