This is the first version of the project to publicly be called "Mushroom Kingdom Fusion"! There are a massive amount of new features added since v0.1 Beta RC2 almost three months before, so here's the Readers' Digest Condensed version:

*Four playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Tails, each with their own unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
*Thirteen new levels, including Birabuto Bash and Corpse of the Behemoth!
*New powerup: Megaman Suit, the Coalition has the power of the Megaman world at their disposal!
*The MK Coalition HQ: Switch out your characters and save your progress in this special map building.

Other major changes:
*All-new external sound engine, which will eliminate all problems in the past with mp3's not playing on older versions.
*Spartan Suit now has a rechargeable energy shield. It can sustain one hit, requiring seven seconds to recharge. Getting hit while the shield is depleted will result in the loss of the suit.
*Particle effects added for flame projectiles.
*Game-speedup features such as Detail Mode toggle, Color Depth change
*Swimming now emulates the Super Mario World mechanic. Holding up or down will make your character swim at different vertical speeds.
*The Spade Roulette on the map makes a return!

KNOWN ISSUES:

*Tails can stomp enemies while flying. This will be addressed in future updates.
*Slopes still need work. Mario style sliding will be added when complete.
*Only the Yellow Switch Palace works. DO NOT ENTER ANY OTHER SWITCH PALACE OR ELSE THE GAME WILL MESS UP.
*Levels with SMB1-style bricks will have flashing bricks, which contain items.
*Megaman-style ladders are imperfect. Right now, you have to hold DOWN then Jump to climb down a Megaman ladder you are standing on.
*Mushroom Blocks and SMB2 Bomb Plants have various issues at the moment.
*Sonic and Tails can get hung in the screen edge when Spin Dashing all the way to the edge. Jump and move repeatedly to recover.
*Luigi's and Sonic's Megaman Suit powers have not been implemented yet, so each will get an existing replacement powerup instead.
*Collision detection still has flaws. Occasionally players may get stuck in the wall. Use F11 to suicide and start over. Sorry for the inconvenience.
*Separate key for firing guns will be implemented in future releases.
*Due to the sheer volume of feedback and limited resources to answer, all feedback regarding these known issues will receive no reply.

==================

Please note that this is a Release Candidate version of a Beta release. This was released to tide people over for the full beta release. It also gives an opportunity for open beta-testing to take place. As such, there may be some significant bugs, glitches, or other issues that the development team did not catch. This is where you come in. Your feedback will help in the full release of v0.2.

Thank you all for your support!
