A downloadable mod

  • Access to Teleport and Avoid from the start of the game, allowing for fast travel and reducing unneeded random encounters from the start of the adventure.
  •  Less clutter with Psynergy items and messing with classes via changes included new default Psynergy, along with the ability to sell and rebuy Psynergy Items as needed.
  • Party members start off the adventure with access to more Psynergy without items and regardless of class

  2.  Jenna now starts with utility Psynergy...
    1.  New Psynergy... Sunshine, acting like Growth, regardless of class
    2.  Her default class has the new Psynergy, Thermal, acting like Whirlwind outside of battle.
    3.  Other classes that have ties to both Jupiter and Mars will also learn this skill.
    4. In addition, she now has access to Avoid by default.
      1. This allows reduction of random encounters early on, though they will still appear if you are under-leveled.
  3. Sheba now has access to Cyclone and Teleport from the start
    1. Teleport when used on the overworld allows you to warp between any towns you've previously visited creating a pseudo-fast travel system.

  4.  Piers has access to Chill and Rain, utility exclusive versions of Frost and Douse respectfully, no matter his class.

  • Brand new equipment replaces the Tremor Bit, Cyclone Chip, and Teleport Lapis as you now have access to those skills by default...
  1. Tremor Bit has been replaced with the Gia Boots, brand new equipment to boost Earth Power.
  2.  Cyclone Chip has been replaced with the Tornado Boots, brand new equipment to boost Wind Resistance.
  3.  The Teleport Lapis has been replaced with the Soul Ring, a powerful Ring that existed but was never implemented into the vanilla game, 
    1. It allows you to revive a downed ally, the same way you'd use other ring items.
  • All utility exclusive Psynergy (except for Retreat and Avoid) will cost 0 PP to use

Bonus Music Patch...

 Thanks to leader music patch provided by the Golden Sun Hacking Community, this version of the anniversary mod  allows you to set the battle theme based on who is the "leader" in your party...

 Each party member has a battle theme associated to them and if they're in the very front of the party you will hear their theme in battle.

  1.  Felix and Issac have their normal themes.
  2. Jenna's theme will play if she's in the front of the party.
  3.  If Sheba is in the front of the party the Non-Adept Battle theme will play.
  4. If Piers is in the front of the party, the Boat Battle theme will play.
  5. If Garet is in the front of the party, the Colosso Battle theme will play.
  6. If Ivan is in the front of the party, the Linked Battle theme will play.
  7. If Mia is in the front of the party, Saturos's Theme will play.

(It is worth noting that music from this patch will overwrite all other battle music, including those in major fights.)

New "No Summon mode" Addition:

Added to version 1.1, there are two new patches to pick from that remove the summons, only resulting in elemental power boost when used.  These modes exist for people looking for an extra challenge in their playthrough and is not recommended for casual play. There is both a patch with and without the leader altering music patches.
