Castlevania III Myth: The Meat Has The Power To Heal

I've gone through my whole life thus far believing that the mystery meat is what heals Trevor & friends. It turns out all this time I have been mistaken. The meat does nothing! It's the wall that heals you.

There is an actual Mystery Meat object in CV3. It's object #90. If the player tries to pick it up, it simply disappears. There is no code associated with it other than, quite literally, "do nothing." 

When you bust down a wall and see the meat drop, or any other item, what you are really seeing is the wall itself, just with a different sprite. If you see a multiplier drop from the wall, it's not really a multiplier, it's still just the wall. If you see a big heart drop from the wall, it's not really a heart, it's still the wall. 

We've been lied to this entire time!
