The big JADDE update is finally here! Due to its size, I decided that 1.1.0 instead of 1.0.1 was appropriate.
Before we do get into the changes, however, I would like to thank two users in particular for their massive support and various suggestions.
While not all of the suggestions I've gotten (theirs and others) were implemented, hopefully what I've added here is enough to satisfy you all and constitute a "big update." Enjoy!

Reverted Mama Bear to be in her default skin in Zone 3
Gave Mama Bear's boss form red glowing eyes
Removed the short delay in the audio of Mama Bear rolling in her spiked ball form
Two of these changes in particular I want to elaborate on
"Extended the length and speed of Lucky's speed boost"
"Altered the bulk of the Zone 3 lighting to be redder"
Initially, I was against making these sorts of changes at this point (large-scale lighting reworks and difficulty changes), but I thought it could be fun to just throw them in. I think it's universally agreed that Mascot Mayhem deserved more, so I wanted to give it some special treatment in this mod. I should state however that the Zone 3 lighting change is intentionally unfinished. The way this line of modding works, I'll have to redo it all whence we get Chapter 5, so I didn't want to go overboard making it perfect right now.
Can I be real with you? The length of these patch notes is unreal to me. Like I was looking back at the updates I used to do for JAMMM and even the launch release version of JADDE. They're nothing compared to this. This is without question the largest update I've made for any of my mods, and I can't believe all the work I've been able to do. While it's possible, I'll touch this mod again before Chapter 5 (part of me is expecting the need for a quick hotfix patch soon after this goes live), don't count on anything this abundant.
Thank you for reading, and have a great rest of your day. Goodbye!
