D. Features

  1. Designed for use with the established speedrun categories with infinite olives that use the Game Genie cheat code.
  2. Removes the need to enter the cheat code, and more—read on.
  3. Know whether you’re playing Infinite Olives anywhere in the game, including on the title screen and the screens for name/password entry.
  4. Rather than always showing “99” olives, a different approach is used to approximate the infinity symbol (“∞”). This conveys to the player and/or stream/VOD viewers that it’s not just max olives in a vanilla run with no cheats.
