* SillinessSwitch: The option to play as Leaf -- the female avatar -- was not removed, but NPC's will still say that you look exactly like Red, who is a boy.
* SnowMeansDeath: One of the major changes with the hack is the ubiquity of falling snow whenever the player is outside (though it could also be volcanic ash, similar to Mt.
