RAM Address	Length	Type	Description	Details
$7E1DEF	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E1DF0	2 bytes	Overworld	$7E:1DF0 - X position of the camera when using the overworld scroll function, low byte. $7E:1DF1 - X position of the camera when using the overworld scroll function, high byte. These values are only used to determine which way the camera should go to get back to the player.
$7E1DF2	2 bytes	Overworld	$7E:1DF2 - Y position of the camera when using the overworld scroll function, low byte. $7E:1DF3 - Y position of the camera when using the overworld scroll function, high byte. These values are only used to determine which way the camera should go to get back to the player.
$7E1DF4	1 byte	Misc.	Index to intro control sequence data table.
$7E1DF5	1 byte	Timer	Timer to used for multiple purposes: - How long a particular input during the intro sequence will remain pressed. - How long the Nintendo Presents screen will remain active. - How long a Switch Palace message will remain active. - How long the player has to wait before he can dismiss the intro message.
$7E1DF6	1 byte	Overworld	Star and Warp pipe handler. It's an index of the current star/warp pipe tile you're standing on, multiplied by two. With this index, the destination coordinates are determined.
$7E1DF7	1 byte	Player	Used by the Star Road warp star on the overworld. Determines the speed with which the player is launched in the air during warping. The higher the value, the faster he gets launched in the air. By default the maximum is #$04, though this cap can be altered by editing $04:9E70/0x22070.
$7E1DF8	1 byte	Timer	Used by the Star Road warp star tile on the overworld. It controls how long the player has to stay on the ground during the warp, before he actually gets launched in the air. The player gets airborne as soon as the timer hits #$31 (as it increments).
$7E1DF9	4 bytes	I/O	SPC700 I/O Ports. Write values to play music/SFX. Note that the valid values refer to a clean rom, if using an Addmusic tool songs and sound effects are (usually) remapped (for example, with AddmusicK you can check them in "Addmusic_sound effects.txt" and "Addmusic_list.txt").	$1DF9 Values $1DFA Values $1DFB Values (Level) $1DFB Values (Overworld/Title) $1DFC Values
$7E1DFD	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld and level load (the latter two due to new music banks being uploaded). Note that $7E:1DFD is cleared twice, due to a 16-bit store to $7E:1DFC - at $04:969F/0x2189F (LDA #$0023 : STA $1DFC) and $05:C75D/0x2C95D (LDA #$0009 : STA $1DFC).
$7E1DFF	1 byte	I/O	A copy of $7E:1DFB, the music register. It contains the last value written to SNES register $2142. Probably used to keep the music playing between areas.
$7E1E00	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld and level load (the latter two due to new music banks being uploaded).
$7E1E01	1 byte	Empty	Empty, unused. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load. However, if the debug code at $00:CC86/0x4E86 is enabled, this address allows you to be in free roaming mode: the player can move in any direction, without being affected by objects or sprites. #$00 = none; #$01 = dash immediately; #$02 = free roaming.
$7E1E02	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite Y position, low byte.
$7E1E16	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite X position, low byte.
$7E1E2A	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite Y position, high byte.
$7E1E3E	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite X position, high byte.
$7E1E52	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Used as: - Y position of reappearing Boos, frame 1. Not relative to screen border. - Y speed for Boos from ghost ceiling and death bats.
$7E1E66	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Used as: - X position of reappearing Boos, frame 1. Not relative to screen border. - X speed for Boos from ghost ceiling and death bats.
$7E1E7A	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Used as: - Y position of reappearing Boos, frame 2. Not relative to screen border. - Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point Y speed of death bats.
$7E1E8E	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Used as: - X position of reappearing Boos, frame 2. Not relative to screen border.
$7E1EA2	96 bytes	Overworld	Overworld level setting flags, location within the table corresponds to $7E:13BF. Format: bmesudlr. b = level is beaten. m = midway point has been passed. e = no entry if level already passed. s = open Save Prompt when level is beaten. u = enable walking upwards. d = enable walking downwards. l = enable walking leftwards. r = enable walking rightwards. Setting the high bit of $7E:1EEB will enable the special stage features (autumn overworld palettes, etc.) in the ORIGINAL game.
$7E1F02	15 bytes	Overworld	Overworld event flags. The table works bitwise - if a bit corresponding to an event is set, that event has been run. If it's clear, it hasn't been run yet. There's a little formula for finding out what event number corresponds to which bit. Take the event number, divide by eight and use that as index for this table. Take the remainder, and that number (0-7) is the position of the bit inside the indexed byte (left to right). Example: Finding event #$13. Division by eight turns #$02 as index (so $7E:1F04) and #$03 as the remainder. It's bit 4 of $7E:1F04 (xxxx xxxx). Not bit 3, because of the "reversed" AND tables that are used with this table - bits are not counted from right to left, but from left to right instead.
$7E1F11	1 byte	Overworld	Current submap for Mario. #$00 = Main map; #$01 = Yoshi's Island; #$02 = Vanilla Dome; #$03 = Forest of Illusion; #$04 = Valley of Bowser; #$05 = Special World; #$06 = Star World.
$7E1F12	1 byte	Overworld	Current submap for Luigi. #$00 = Main map; #$01 = Yoshi's Island; #$02 = Vanilla Dome; #$03 = Forest of Illusion; #$04 = Valley of Bowser; #$05 = Special World; #$06 = Star World.
$7E1F13	4 bytes	Player	Player animation on the overworld. $7E:1F13/4 form Mario's image and $7E:1F15/6 form Luigi's image. Note that the high bytes of the two (bytes 2 and 4, $7E:1F14 and $7E:1F16) are actually unused.	Valid Values
$7E1F17	2 bytes	Player	Overworld X position of Mario.
$7E1F19	2 bytes	Player	Overworld Y position of Mario.
$7E1F1B	2 bytes	Player	Overworld X position of Luigi.
$7E1F1D	2 bytes	Player	Overworld Y position of Luigi.
$7E1F1F	2 bytes	Player	Pointer to Mario's overworld X position. Value is Mario's regular overworld X position divided by #$10 (#16).
$7E1F21	2 bytes	Player	Pointer to Mario's overworld Y position. Value is Mario's regular overworld Y position divided by #$10 (#16).
$7E1F23	2 bytes	Player	Pointer to Luigi's overworld X position. Value is Luigi's regular overworld X position divided by #$10 (#16).
$7E1F25	2 bytes	Player	Pointer to Luigi's overworld Y position. Value is Luigi's regular overworld Y position divided by #$10 (#16).
$7E1F27	4 bytes	Flag	Switch palace activation flags. $00 = off (outline passable switch palace blocks), $01 = on (solid switch palace blocks): $7E1F27: Green $7E1F28: Yellow $7E1F29: Blue $7E1F2A: Red Note: effects to the blocks will only apply during level loading when these flags are changed.
$7E1F2B	3 bytes	Empty	Empty. Unlike most empty addresses, this one is saved to and loaded from SRAM, so it's effectively cleared only at reset and new game.
$7E1F2E	1 byte	Counter	Number of events triggered. Can be used as a levels beaten counter.
$7E1F2F	12 bytes	Flag	"Collected five or more Yoshi Coins" flags, for each level. Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level. If a bit is set, no Yoshi Coins will reappear in that level. The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level. For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table at $05:B35B. That bit will be the flag for the level. 0 = clear bit, less than five Yoshi Coins collected; 1 = set bit, five or more Yoshi Coins collected. An example: checking if five or more Yoshi Coins were collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105. Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index. After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01. This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6. So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1F34) in the table is set, five or more Yoshi Coins have been collected in level 105.
$7E1F3B	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and at the game over screen.
$7E1F3C	12 bytes	Flag	"Collected invisible 1-Up flags", for each level. Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level. If a bit is set, no invisible 1-Up will reappear in that level. The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level. For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table at $05:B35B. That bit will be the flag for the level. 0 = clear bit, invisible 1-Up not collected; 1 = set bit, invisible 1-Up collected. An example: checking if an invisible 1-Up was collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105. Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index. After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01. This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6. So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1F41) in the table is set, an invisible 1-Up has been collected in level 105.
$7E1F48	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E1F49	141 bytes	Overworld	Buffer for $7E:1EA2-$7E:1F2E. SRAM transfer of those bytes goes via this buffer.
$7E1FD6	12 bytes	Sprites	Unused sprite table, cleared at individual sprite load. (1 slot each.)
$7E1FE2	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite table that decrements once per frame, and is used for multiple purposes. All standard sprites have it briefly set after spawning. Primarily, it disables water splashes from showing when the sprite enter or exits water, and disables interaction for the sprite with capespins, quake sprites, cape smashes, and net punches. Some sprites use it for miscellaneous purposes, as well. More information can be found here.
$7E1FEE	12 bytes	Flag	"Collected 3-Up moon" flags, for each level. Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level. If a bit is set, no 3-Up will reappear in that level. The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level. For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table. That bit will be the flag for the level. 0 = clear bit, no 3-Up moon collected; 1 = set bit, 3-Up moon collected. An example: checking if a 3-Up moon was collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105. Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index. After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01. This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6. So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1FF3) in the table is set, a 3-Up moon has been collected in level 105.
$7E1FFA	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E1FFB	1 byte	Palettes	Lightning flash color index. Only #$00-#$07 are actually used. #$07 is the brightest shade of white, the lower the value, the closer to black it gets. This address gets its value from the table at $04:F700.
$7E1FFC	1 byte	Timer	How long to wait until the next lightning flash is generated. Gets its value from a table at $04:F6F8, which in turn gets its index from a "random" value in the routine of $04:F708 & #$07. This address decrements after the previous lightning flash has ended.
$7E1FFD	1 byte	Timer	How long a lightning flash should last, per color change. Is set to #$08 frames for the first color flash (the most bright one), then it's set to #$04 frames for the following color flashes which are becoming less and less bright. Decrements every frame.
$7E1FFE	1 byte	Flag	Whether to update the background in the first part of the credits, or not. #$00 = Don't update the background. #$01 = Do update the background.
$7E1FFF	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E2000	23808 bytes	Graphics	GFX32 decompressed. Written while the Nintendo Presents logo is shown and never modified after that, but often read.
$7E7D00	12288 bytes	Graphics	GFX33 decompressed. Written while the Nintendo Presents logo is shown and never modified after that, but often read.
$7EAD00	3072 bytes	Graphics	GFX file decompression buffer. Decompressed as 3bpp (3kb) for unexpanded GFX and as 4bpp for expanded. Also used for Lunar Magic's extra animated tile space. $7E:B900 is also used as additional buffer kilobyte.
$7EB900	1024 bytes	Blocks	Layer 2 tilemap, low byte. Format: First two 16x27 rectangles, then 160 25s that are never read. Also used on the overworld during the switch block events for various purposes: $7EB900-$7EB927 = Switch block X position, high byte $7EB928-$7EB94F = Switch block Y position, high byte $7EB950-$7EB977 = Switch block Z position, high byte $7EB978-$7EB99F = Switch block X position, low byte $7EB9A0-$7EB9C7 = Switch block Y position, low byte $7EB9C8-$7EB9EF = Switch block Z position, low byte $7EB9F0-$7EBA17 = Switch block X speed $7EBA18-$7EBA3F = Switch block Y speed $7EBA40-$7EBA67 = Switch block Z speed $7EBA68-$7EBA8F = Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point switch block X speed $7EBA90-$7EBAB7 = Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point switch block Y speed $7EBAB8-$7EBADF = Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point switch block Z speed
$7EBD00	1024 bytes	Blocks	Layer 2 tilemap, high byte; same format as $7E:B900. Writing to this area with the gfx+2 patch installed generates BG garbage and should never be done.
$7EC100	1408 bytes	Empty	Empty, untouched RAM on an unhacked ROM. Lunar Magic uses it to store ExAnimation graphics data if the ExAnimation file is larger than 0x1400 bytes. Maximum size is 0x1B00, or enough for 0xD8 4bpp 8x8 tiles, in which case all of $7E:AD00-$7E:C7FF is used.
$7EC680	96 bytes	Misc.	Tilemap of Mode 7 bosses (Ludwig, Roy, Morton and Bowser).
$7EC6E0	288 bytes	Empty	Empty, untouched RAM on an unhacked ROM. In a hacked ROM, it may be occupied by ExAnimation data (see $7E:C100).
$7EC800	14336 bytes	Blocks	Map16 Low Byte Table. For horizontal levels, $1B0 tiles per screen, where each screen can be indexed using the format ------y yyyyxxxx. $7E:FE00-$7E:FFFF are unused. For vertical levels, $200 bytes per screen, with the format --sssssx yyyyxxxx. All bytes are used. If layer 2 or 3 is interactive in the level, it uses screens 10-1F (0E-1B in vertical levels). On Lunar Magic version 3+, refer to this document for the blocks format for other level dimensions. On the overworld: $7E:C800-$7E:CFFF (2048 ($800) bytes) is used as the Layer 1 tilemap for the overworld. To index this table, use $7E:1F11, $7E:1F1F, and $7E:1F21 to find Mario, or use $7E:1F12, $7E:1F23, and $7E:1F25 to find Luigi. X position / 16: %---- ---- ---X xxxx Y position / 16: %---- ---- ---Y yyyy Index to this table: %---- -SYX yyyy xxxx * If Mario is on a submap, the S bit is set. $7ED000-$7ED7FF (2048 bytes) is used as a table that contains the translevel numbers for every Layer 1 tile, in the format of $7E13BF. $7ED800-$7EDFFF (2048 bytes) is used as a table that contains the path direction settings for every Layer 1 tile, in the format of $04D678. $7EE400-$7EEBFF (2048 bytes) is used for uploading the Layer 1 tile map to VRAM in 2KB chunks. One chunk is uploaded per frame for four frames during transitions between the main overworld and submaps. Data is refreshed after each DMA.
$7F0000	16384 bytes	Overworld	Layer 2 event tilemap of the overworld. $7F:0D00-$7F:3FFF is empty (untouched) RAM on a vanilla ROM, but LM uses it to hold the expanded layer 2 event tilemap on a hacked ROM. LM also uses $7F:0000 and upwards to store title screen movement (three bytes every time a key is pressed or released, or if the same keys are held for #$FF frames), and $7F:0B44-$7F:1343 are also used as buffer for dynamic sprite graphics because of them being uploaded during V-Blank.
$7F4000	16384 bytes	Overworld	The Layer 2 tilemap of the whole overworld (including submaps, starting at $7F:6000). It does NOT affect the event tiles. The tiles are also 8x8. The tilemap starts from the top left corner of the main overworld. Format is as following: [Tile number], [Tile properties] This table is also used for a RAM buffer for the credit cutscene backgrounds.
$7F8000	387 bytes	Sprites	Unrolled loop which, executed once per each frame, writes to OAM to put all sprites outside the screen (this clears the OAM slots by setting their Y positions to #$F0). Note: Not executed during pause.
$7F8183	504 bytes	Empty	Empty, untouched RAM. ~420 bytes used in LM 1.70+ for VRAM modification.
$7F837B	2 bytes	Misc.	Current length of the $7F837D stripe image, excluding the FF terminator. Used to allow two subroutines to write to $7F837D in the same frame.
$7F837D	5118 bytes	Misc.	VRAM upload table, as a stripe image. Used for things that change in the middle of the screen, such as ? blocks. Uploaded and reset every frame; most frames, it's empty. Not all of it is used during normal gameplay, so $7F:8600+ shouldn't be dangerous to use. See here for more info.
$7F977B	768 bytes	Misc.	Mario/Luigi Start, Game Over, Time Up etc. messages Graphics, decompressed.
$7F9A7B	512 bytes	Sprites	Position of Wiggler's segments.
$7F9C7B	11141 bytes	Empty	Empty RAM which is entirely untouched. This area is used by many SMW hacking tools, so hacked ROMs are likely to use some of the addresses found here. A list of RAM addresses used by several SMW hacking tools can be found here. A few more addresses are documented here. [TODO: Merge those into SMWiki once it unlocks.] An additional list can be found here.
$7FC00A	1 byte	Flag	Lunar Magic's animation settings for the current level. Format: ptlg---- 0=Enable, 1=Disable p = SMW's default Palette Animations Flag t = SMW's default Tile Animations Flag l = Lunar Magic Level Animations Flag g = Lunar Magic Global Animations Flag - = Unused
$7FC800	14336 bytes	Blocks	Map16 high byte table. Same format as $7E:C800. $7F:FFF8 through $7F:FFFD are also used by Lunar Magic's title screen recording ASM.
