Pointer Tables

Address Description Format
$05E000 Layer 1 data 0x200 levels, 3 bytes each (1,536 bytes)
$05E600 Layer 2 data 0x200 levels, 3* bytes each (1,536 bytes)
$05EC00 Sprite data 0x200 levels, 2** bytes each (1,024 bytes)

* If the long byte of the Layer 2 data is #$FF, it will get replaced by #$0C and the data will be interpreted as a BG tilemap rather than object data.
** All sprite data is located in bank 07.


Primary Level Header

The first five bytes of object data for Layer 1 is the primary level header, which dictates various information about the level. Layer 2 object data also contains this header, but it is skipped over and ignored.

Format
BBBLLLLL CCCOOOOO 3MMMSSSS TTPPPFFF IIVVZZZZ
BBB BG palette
LLLLL Length of level (number of screens, -1)
CCC Back area color
OOOOO Level mode
3 Layer 3 priority
MMM Music
SSSS Sprite GFX setting
TT Timer setting
PPP Sprite palette
FFF FG palette
II Item memory setting
VV Vertical scroll setting
ZZZZ FG/BG GFX setting


Secondary Level Header

The secondary level header consists of four bytes, spread across four seperate tables with one byte per level. Lunar Magic adds a fifth byte as well, at $05DE00.

Format
$05F000 $05F200 $05F400 $05F600 $05DE00*
SSSSyyyy 33AAAxxx MMMMFFBB IUVEEEEE LWPYX---
SSSS Layer 2 scroll setting
(Y)yyyy Level entrance Y position**
33 Layer 3 setting
AAA Level entrance Mario action
(X)xxx Level entrance X position**
MMMM Midway entrance screen number
FF FG initial position
BB BG initial position
I Disable No-Yoshi Intro flag
U Unknown/unused vertical position flag
V Vertical positioning flag
EEEEE Level entrance screen number
L Slippery flag*
W Water flag*
P Flag to use X/Y position method 2*

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.

* Added by Lunar Magic; not used in the original game.
** The capitalized Y and X bits are added by Lunar Magic when using X/Y position method 2, but are unused in the original game.


Lunar Magic also adds similar data for midway entrances when they're set to have seperate settings. This data is stored in a dynamically-located set of tables, however; they can be found in order at read3(read3($05D9E4)+$0A).

Format
Table 1 Table 2 Table 3
LWIMYAAA yyyyXXXX ----FFBB
L Slippery flag
W Water flag
I Flag to use seperate midway entrance (only the M bit is used otherwise)
M Bit 5 of midway screen number
Yyyyy Midway entrance Y position
AAA Midway entrance Mario action
XXXX Midway entrance X position
MMMM Midway entrance screen number
FF Midway FG initial position
BB Midway BG initial position
---- Currently unused


Sprite Header

The first byte of sprite data is the sprite header, which handles some miscellaneous sprite-related information.

Format
SBMMMMMM
S Sprite buoyancy
B Sprite buoyancy (disable sprite-Layer 2 interaction)
MMMMMM Sprite memory*

* Although values up to #$3F are possible, only up to #$12 are actually intended for use.


Object Data

Object data is used to define Layer 1 and Layer 2 foreground data. The Z order of the objects is determined by the order they're written; an object earlier in the data, for instance, will appear below an object written later.

The data consists of a five byte header, followed by a list of all the objects. If the first byte of an object is #$FF, it indicates the end of the data has been reached.

The "new screen" flag described in most of the below formats increases the high X position of all following objects by one. In order to decrease it or increase it by a larger amount, a screen jump must be used.


Standard Objects

Standard objects are 3 bytes long. The 'settings byte' usage varies depending on the object, but generally specifies the height and width of the object.

Format
NBBYYYYY bbbbXXXX SSSSSSSS

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.

The above list shows the usage of the settings byte for each standard object; when an object has two columns for the usage, the right column is the lower nibble while the left is the higher nibble (i.e. #$HW for most objects). The usage can also be seen in Lunar Magic's object window, next to the object ID, though LM displays them in reverse order.


Extended Objects

Extended objects function as standard object 00, and are also 3 bytes long.

Format
N00YYYYY 0000XXXX BBBBBBBB
N New Screen flag
YYYYY Y position

Screen Exits

Screen exits function as extended object 00. Unlike the rest of object data, they're 4 bytes long rather than 3.

Format
000PPPPP 0000WUSH 00000000 DDDDDDDD
PPPPP Screen number
W Water flag* (secondary exit)
U LM-modified flag**
S Secondary exit flag
H High bit of destination level / secondary exit ID*
DDDDDDDD Low byte of destination level / secondary exit ID

* Added by Lunar Magic; not used in the original game.
** Indicates the screen exit uses the secondary exit flag added by LM rather than SMW's default functionality.

In an unmodified SMW, if the last screen exit in the data has the secondary exit flag set, all screen exits in the level will be interpreted as secondary exits.
Additionally, in an unmodified SMW, the high bit of the current level is used as the high bit of the destination level / secondary exit ID.


Screen Jump

Screen jumps function as extended object 01, and change the high X position of proceding objects to a specified screen. They can be used to skip over screens if no objects exit on them, or to move back a screen to change the Z ordering of an object crossing over a screen boundary. Like standard and extended objects, they consist of three bytes.

Format
000PPPPP 0000---- 00000001
PPPPP Screen number
---- Currently unused


Lunar Magic Objects

Lunar Magic adds some additional objects under standard IDs 22-28, with 29-2C additionally reserved for future use, and object 2D reserved for user-defined objects.

Object 22/23

Object 22 and 23 are used for direct tiles from Map16 pages 0 and 1 respectively. They're four bytes long rather than three.

Format
N10YYYYY 001BXXXX HHHHWWWW bbbbbbbb
N New Screen flag
Bbbbbbbbb Map16 tile number
YYYYY Y position
XXXX X position
HHHH Height
WWWW Width

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.


Object 24/25

Objects 24 and 25 are deprecated objects used to handle the old GFX bypass system, which used a list system for specifying ExGFX files. The new Super GFX bypass renders these unnecessary.

Format
Object 24 N10-SSSS 0100ssss FFFFFFFF
Object 25 N10-UUUU 0101uuuu AAAAAAAA
N New Screen flag
SSSSssss GFX list to use for sprite GFX, plus 1
FFFFFFFF GFX list to use for FG/BG GFX, plus 1
UUUUuuuu Unused? Stored to $FA.
AAAAAAAA GFX file for AN2, plus 1 (values greater than FE can't be used)
- Currently unused

Note: the GFX list for FG/BG graphics does not include the extra files BG2 and BG3.


Object 26

Object 26 handles the music bypass.

Format
N10-UUUU 0101uuuu MMMMMMMM
N New Screen flag
MMMMMMMM Song ID to use, plus one.
UUUUuuuu Unused? Functions identical to the M bits.
- Currently unused


Object 27

Object 27 handles Map16 objects other than those handled by object 22/23. There are four different forms of the object, depending on how the tiles are selected and stretched.

Format
Single-screen, single tile N10YYYYY 0111XXXX HHHHWWWW 00BBBBBB bbbbbbbb
Multiple tiles unstretched N10YYYYY 0111XXXX hhhhwwww 01BBBBBB bbbbbbbb
Single-screen, multiple tiles N10YYYYY 0111XXXX HHHHWWWW 10BBBBBB bbbbbbbb hhhhwwww
Multi-screen N10YYYYY 0111XXXX WWWWWWWW 11BBBBBB bbbbbbbb hhhhwwww HHHHHHHH
N New Screen flag
BBBBBBbbbbbbbb Base Map16 tile number
YYYYY Y position
XXXX X position
HHHH(HHHH) Height*
WWWW(WWWW) Width*
hhhh Height of Map16 selection
wwww Width of Map16 selection

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.

* Although the height and width of multi-screen objects are 8-bit, only values up to #$80 are valid due to the way their routine is coded.


Object 28

Object 28 handles the time limit bypass.

Format
N10-BBBB 0001CCCC R---AAAA
N New Screen flag
AAAA Ones
BBBB Tens
CCCC Hundreds
R Force timer reset flag
---- Currently unused


Object 2D

Object 2D is reserved by Lunar Magic for 5-byte custom user-defined objects. Although it's parsed by LM's hijacks, it's not actually tied to any routines normally.

Format
N10YYYYY 1101XXXX SSSSSSSS AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB
N New Screen flag
YYYYY Y position
XXXX X position
SSSSSSSS Settings
AAAAAAAA Extension byte A
BBBBBBBB Extension byte B

ObjecTool uses extension byte A as the custom object number, while byte B is left free for use.

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.


Background Data

When Layer 2 is stored as a background tilemap (see the note on the pointer table), it's written as a raw tilemap with no header, compressed in the LC_RLE1 format.

Format
RLLLLLLL ...
R RLE flag
LLLLLLL Length
... If the RLE flag is clear, the following (length + 1) bytes are intepreted as direct tile data.
If the RLE flag is set, the following byte is repeated (length + 1) times.

The entire left half of the BG is stored first, then the right half. A command of FF FF indicates the end of the data.


Sprite Data

Sprite data consists of a single-byte header, followed by a list of all the sprites. If the first byte of a sprite is #$FF, it indicates the end of the data has been reached.

Format
yyyyEESY XXXXssss NNNNNNNN
Yyyyy Y position
EE Extra bits
XXXX X position
Sssss Screen number
NNNNNNNN Sprite ID

In vertical levels, the X and Y position values are swapped.


Secondary Entrances
