Blocks |
Multiple coin block timer - amount of time until the multiple coin block turns into a used block. Keeps decrementing until it's #$01, after that it stays that value until the block is hit again, at which it's turned into a used block. Then, this address gets set to zero. |
|
$7E186C
|
12 bytes |
Sprites |
Sprite off screen flag table, vertical. For sprites in bank 1, if the sprite is set to be two tiles high (with $190F), then bits 0 and 1 correspond to the top and bottom tiles respectively.
The routine that sets this address in bank 2 and 3 has an error, however; this address instead does the 2-bit functionality if bit 5 of $1662 (which is one of the bits in the sprite clipping value). As a result, some sprites will register as vertically offscreen when they're actually just at the top of the screen. |
|
$7E1878
|
1 byte |
Sprites |
Indicates where the player is on the X axis in relation to the currently-active revolving net door sprite. If this is #$00, the player is perfectly centered on the sprite horizontally. It will be positive if the player is toward the left side of the sprite (the farther left, the bigger the positive number) and negative if the player is toward the right side of the sprite (the farther right, the bigger the negative number).
Is used to calculate the player X speed as the net is turning around sideways. |

|
$7E187B
|
12 bytes |
Sprites |
Miscellaneous sprite table. Has the following purposes:
Sprite stomp immunity flag table - enables stomp immunity for sprites if the flag is set.
Additionally, the changing item sprite uses it to determine which sprite it is (#$00 = mushroom, #$40 = fire flower, #$80 = feather, #$C0 = star), the goal tape determines by this address whether it activates the normal or secret exit, the radius of rotating chain sprites is held by this address, certain Yoshi abilities are handled, etc. More information can be found here.
$7E:1884 is also used to determine what background should be used during the Morton/Roy/Ludwig battle scene. #$00 = Ludwig; #$01 = Morton/Roy.
There is also a bug with the background flames during the Ludwig battle, as they seem to change color upon this address not being #$01. This is responsible for a palette glitch in the original SMW, where the fire turns a greyish blue very briefly. Change $02:8380 to #$80 to fix the bug. |

1 byte |
Flag |
Flag that determines if the game should keep updating the tile and YXPPCCCT data for the sprite background tiles in the Morton/Roy/Ludwig room.
#$00 = Keep updating; #$01 = Stop updating. |
|
$7E188D
|
1 byte |
Misc. |
Used during the calculation of the X position of the background in the Morton/Roy/Ludwig room. It starts by copying the value from $7E:001A (8-bit) and getting the lowest bit from $7E:001B by using the carry bit. So first, this address is $7E:001A (9-bit) > 1.
This address is then, after it's inverted with EOR #$FF : INC A, used for $7E:0006 (scratch RAM, used for X displacement of all tiles). |

Frame counter for Yoshi's walking frames. It goes from #$00-#$02, forms an index for the image table at $01:EDEE, and becomes #$02 when it gets lower than #$00 (frame counter decrements).
This address is comparable with the player's version, at $7E:13DB. |
|
$7E18AE
|
1 byte |

Timer |
Write a value to here, and sparkles (like the ones from the stars) will fly around the player for that amount of frames. However, it is never used in the original game.
Note that if the player has an invincibility star, this timer will wait until the star runs out. |

|
$7E1922
|
1 byte |
Should be 00 |
High byte of $7E:1921. This is never any value other than #$00 in the original SMW, but since $7E:1921 is sometimes loaded in 16-bit mode, it's not a good idea to use it if you're using the original Bowser battle. Cleared on reset, title screen load, and overworld load. |

$7E192A
|
1 byte |
Misc. |
RAM address used to hold some information from the level entrance. Format: swaaaaaa. s = slippery level, w = water level, a = player action. If one of bits 3-5 is set, the player action will be "vertical pipe exit downwards, water level".
Note that the s and w bits are cleared after being transferred to $85/$86, so they'll be 0 when read mid-level. |
|
$7E192B

|
$7E1934
|
1 byte |
Should be 00 |
While this is never non-zero in the original SMW, $7E:1933 (current layer) is sometimes used in 16bit mode, so using this address for different purposes is a bad idea. |
|
$7E1935
|
1 byte |
Flag |
When set to a non-zero value, it'll overwrite tiles #$4A-#$4F and #$5A-#$5F with graphics which it gets from $7E:0BF6 on level load. Used by the MARIO START! sign. Flag is immediately cleared after that. |
|
$7E1936

Misc. |
Used by Lunar Magic v3.00+ to hold the screen size minus one tile. Effectively equivalent to $13D7 - #$10. |
|
$7E1938
|
128 bytes |
Sprites |
Sprite load status within the level.
Loaded sprites' indices to this table are stored in the sprite table at $7E:161A. Shooters' indices are stored to $7E:17B3.
All sprites are set to #$00 when the player enters a new area, meaning they are marked to be loaded.
If a sprite's value is set to anything else, for example if it's killed, it will not reload until the player exits and re-enters the area.
Note that indices 0 to 63 (#$00 to #$3F) are cleared on level load, index 64 to 127 (#$40 to #$7F) are not. This can be fixed by changing $02ABF3 to #$7F. |
|
$7E19B8
|
32 bytes |
Misc. |
Exit Table. This connects doors and exit-enabled pipes to their correct entrances.
The index for this exit table is the position of the exit (relative to layer 1) divided by 256. If layer 1 is vertical, then use the Y position of the exit, else use the X position. This is also known as the current screen number.
For primary exits, the value in this exit table is the low 8 bits of the level number of the destination room. For secondary exits, the value in this exit table is the index to the secondary entrance ROM tables; and ROM table $05:F800/0x2FA00 provides the low 8 bits of the room number. |
|
$7E19D8
|
32 bytes |
Misc. |
Exit Table, flags + high bit. Format: HHHHwush
h = Bit 8 of the level number for normal exits (0 = level 0xx, 1 = level 1xx).
HHHHh = Bits 8-12 of the secondary exit number.
s = Secondary exit flag.
u = LM-modified flag. If not set, the entire byte is ignored and SMW's original exit system is used.
w = Water flag (secondary exits) / Midway flag* (non-secondary exits).
* Only used if the level has "use seperate settings for midway entrance" set.
This table is only used when Lunar Magic is done with the ROM. The original game does write the h bit, but never uses it. |
|
$7E19F8
|
384 bytes |
Misc. |
Three tables of 128 bytes each for remembering which items have been collected (item memory settings). If the corresponding bits are set (items are collected), those objects will not be reloaded.
The tables are split up like this: every screen number has 4 bytes designated to it. The first byte is for the left half of the top subscreen, the second byte for the right half, and the third and fourth are for the bottom subscreen. Each vertical column within these regions uses one bit.
Item memory setting 3 doesn't actually exist in the original game, but LM still allows you to select it. As of LM 1.8, it is apparently possible to use item memory setting 3 as well, but it only means "make everything respawn" and doesn't remember anything. |
|
$7E1B78
|
2 bytes |
Overworld |
This is used on the overworld to determine if a hard coded path should be processed. This flag is set and read in 16-bit mode, it can have the values #$0000 or #$0001. #$0001 means that a hard coded path/event is processed.
Also used by Lunar Magic in levels for the "Fix Layer 3 scroll sync" option, but only when the option is on. |
|
$7E1B7A
|
2 bytes |
Overworld |
This address serves as index to $04:9086 which is used to get what hard coded tile to use for the current tile the player is walking on. This address plus one is also the index to $04:90CA.
Also used by Lunar Magic in levels for the "Fix Layer 3 scroll sync" option, but only when the option is on. |
|
$7E1B7C
|
1 byte |
Overworld |
Accumulating fraction bits for the Layer 1 X speed on the overworld, used when the camera returns to the player after having been in free scrolling mode. This address handles incrementing the Layer 1 X position when it overflows. |
|
$7E1B7D
|
1 byte |
Overworld |
Accumulating fraction bits for the Layer 1 Y speed on the overworld, used when the camera returns to the player after having been in free scrolling mode. This address handles incrementing the Layer 1 Y position when it overflows. |
|
$7E1B7E
|
1 byte |
Overworld |
This address is a mirror of $7E:13C1 (tile the player is on in the overworld) and it's used to check whether the player is walking on a complementive corner tile (those small corners used with the paths, a list of all tile numbers can be found at $04:A03C) while settling on a level tile.
Appears to be designed to allow for (very) curvy paths leading to level tiles, found in for example Star World and the path to the warp pipe from Chocolate Island 2.
Depending on the complementive corner tile in question, the player image and position are altered when settling on a level tile. |
|
$7E1B7F
|
1 byte |
Empty |
Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
This address could be regarded as the "high byte" of $7E:1B7E, however it is never used (AND #$00FF is applied) and only stored to on the overworld. Thus, it is safe to use this address as free RAM outside of the overworld. |
|
$7E1B80
|
1 byte |
Overworld |
Player is on a ladder or vine flag (tiles 3F-41).
#$00 = Player is not on a climbing tile.

|
$7E1B84
|
2 bytes |
Timer |
The 16-bit address is used to determine whether the large event tiles (6x6) are uploaded or the small event tiles (2x2). It's #$0900 or higher if it's the latter. It gets its values from the table at $04:DD8D.
Solely $7E:1B84 is a timer used for handling castle/fortress destruction on the overworld, as well as the timer used for a level tile being revealed (the flash sprite). |
|
$7E1B86

Overworld |
A timer that increments every frame, used for the blinking arrow on the give lives (between players) screen. If $7E:1B8B & #$18 gives a non-zero value, the arrow is shown. If the result of that is zero instead, a blank is shown. |
|
$7E1B8C
|
1 byte |
Flag |
Used as a flag to determine whether you are at the first or second iteration of the pointer to $04:DB18 ($7E:1DE8 is #$00 or #$06). #$02 is fully cleared, #$00 is fully blacked out. Needed to make the windowing HDMA fade out at first, then fade back in when the submap switching process is done. |
|
$7E1B8D
|
2 bytes |
Overworld |
Used in the calculation of the X positions for the overworld fade in/out windowing HDMA transitions. Removing stores to this address will make it only active in the Y direction. Starts at #$0000 (completely black) and ends at #$7000 (cleared, except for the sides which are hidden under the overworld border). |
|
$7E1B8F
|

1 byte |
Flag |
This flag is set to #$02 as soon as the Yoshi wings animation (#$08 of $7E:0071) brings you above the screen ($7E:0080 = #$FFC0), which means you will be heading for level C8 or 1C8.
A bycoming effect is that Yoshi will have wings in that level, and that you can't die from falling into the depths. Moreover, as you enter the level, Yoshi will always be blue. It's also the only way you can "die" with Yoshi without losing him on the overworld. |

Empty |
This address is only stored to once in all of SMW, and that's in code that was originally never used (the fifth scrolling command, sprite #$EC). It was going to have some unknown use when you reached the last screen of the level. Because SMW never executes the code that writes to it (unless that command is used), this is a safe address to use.
Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load. |

Graphics |
Background Scroll Activated flag. The unused orange platform (sprite 5E) sets it to #$01, and the flying turn blocks (sprite C1) set it to #$08.
If set, triggers the fast BG scroll sprite, as well as making the flying turn blocks move. |
|
$7E1B9B
|
1 byte |
Flag |
Used to check if Yoshi should not reappear for the next room (castle intro cutscene and the likes). These cutscenes set the flag to #$01, which makes Yoshi not reappear for the next room, but it does keep Yoshi on the overworld. Automatically set to #$00 when the overworld is loaded again. One could use this RAM address to disable Yoshi for one room, but re-enable him in the next again. |

Music has to be altered on the overworld during a 2-player game flag.
#$00 = Do not alter music.
#$01 = Do alter music.
It's set when the players are switching, but also when you go from submap to submap, the latter even when it's a 1-player game. But this flag is never read if it's a 1-player game. |

Misc. |
One of two screen numbers used in the level loading routine. This one points to where the next tile will be placed and is often changed inside an object loading code. The other screen number is $7E:1928.
Although referenced at $03:DF58 (Bowser's code), its value isn't actually used there. |

$7E1BA2
|
1 byte |
Sprites |
Bits 0-6 form the index to the tilemap for the Mode 7 bosses, which read from the table at $03:D9DE, 16 bytes per image. Bit 7 is used to control the X-flip of the tiles. What actually happens then, is that the odd graphic tile is used instead of the even graphic tile, since all Mode 7 graphics are decompressed into a regular and flipped tile. For example, tile #$01 in VRAM is the same as tile #$00 except it's flipped. |
|
$7E1BA3
|
64 bytes |
Graphics |
A buffer that is used for uploading Mode 7 tile data to VRAM in non-platform Mode 7 bosses. The buffer is enough to fill in an entire 8x8 tile, as each 8x8 tile requires 64 bytes in Mode 7 8bpp.
$7E:1BB2 is also used as a buffer in the graphics upload routine. The use seems to be for converting 3bpp to 4bpp format.
$7E:1BBC is used as a flag in the graphics upload routine to alter 3bpp to 4bpp conversion depending on the graphics file that is being uploaded. |

s = open Save Prompt when level is beaten.
u = enable walking upwards.

$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. |

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. |

"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. |

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. |

$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.] |
|
$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. |
