Cartoon Devil, play it again. All the chests are in the exact same places and contain the same things. ABF, the locations of hearts and shells, AS I"VE TOLD YOU BEFORE (it's as though you thought I was mistaken and didn't believe me), are in the SAME places. As for text, that's the one valid point you have. However, as I said, what the genie says was obvious enough as it is. I note that you never actually dispute my claim you never played through the game, but just phrase everything to suggest that. Did you or didn't you actually play through DX?
Oh and, I think you misunderstood me when I was talking about the statue thing. What I read you saying was that you thought the DX version made seeing which statues would come to life easier to see. However, that's not in the DX version! In the DX version you can't tell just like in the original. The only way to see that is to play the original version on a GBC, in which case a small glitch reveals it. As I said, in the DX version, the DX VERSION, the DX version, you can't tell by looking because the colors are specially set so the two statues are the same colors.
And yes, the point of the tunics IS if you use them or not. They are so in the background that you can just choose not to use them. In fact, same goes for the changes in the hints. I just gathered the beaks as per usual and went about as normal. The game isn't easier after all if you don't use the thing that is supposed to make it easier. Sheesh, how on Earth is the POTENTIAL to get them something that ruins the game for YOU, the person who knows you can avoid them and have an identical play experience?
To make it clear, I played both games side by side to compair them. I saw all the differences, and the fact is, ALL the chests, heart pieces, shells, etc. are in the SAME places in the DX version, despite what you may have read elsewhere. The ONLY gameplay changes are the dungeon and the photo gathering, and in fact you don't even enable any of the photo ops if you never meet the rat to begin with so you can basically turn off that too to get the original play mode. The dungeon too can be avoided, and when it wasn't even there to begin with I can't see how it's being easy made the game EASIER when you never saw it to start with! I don't get your logic! Anyway, the last thing is the text. While I agree that they should have left that as is, you can just not read the statues and avoid it that way. It's the same as not reading them the first time through LA normal. In other words, your complaints are pointless. There is no reason for someone who has mastered the original not to get DX save money and availability. DX is identical except in areas that can be avoided VERY easily thus not counting at all. Claims that chests and such have changed are false.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
