Tip: Use palettes that don't burn the eyes. A blazing bright yellow and a night-black are not pleasant.

RAM Address	Length	Type	Description	Details
$7E0000	16 bytes	Misc.	Scratch RAM, is and can be used for a big number of purposes. The general purpose is temporarily preserving a value for later use in a routine. Of note is the following address, used in LM ASM hacks: $7E:0003 (16-bit) - Block number from LM Map16 editor. Also used in the custom Map16 tile change routine.
$7E0010	1 byte	Flag	If the value in it is not zero, run the actual game; otherwise, loop forever. It's set to a non-zero value during NMI, and it's set to zero after the game mode has been run, so that the game runs exactly once a frame - one NMI trigger per frame.
$7E0011	1 byte	Flag	Used to distinguish IRQ #1 from IRQ #2's code. (Inside the Morton/Ludwig/Roy room, where IRQ is used twice, although it can be used in other areas that run IRQ as well.) #$00 = IRQ #1; #$01 = IRQ #2.
$7E0012	1 byte	Graphics	Stripe image loader - value must be divisible by 3.	Valid Values
$7E0013	1 byte	Counter	"True" frame counter. Increments once per frame, except when the game is lagging. Note that $7E:0014 is better suited for most purposes.
$7E0014	1 byte	Counter	"Effective" frame counter. Stops when, for example, RAM addresses such as $7E:009D are not zero (lock sprite flag, usually indicates the player is dying, grabbing a powerup, or something similar). Inside sprite code, this address is often preferred over $7E:0013, especially in graphics routines, as graphics will not be updated when the player dies if this address is used as an index to the tilemap.
$7E0015	1 byte	I/O	Controller buttons currently held down. Format: byetUDLR. b = A or B; y = X or Y; e = select; t = Start; U = up; D = down; L = left, R = right.
$7E0016	1 byte	I/O	Controller buttons newly pressed this frame. Format: byetUDLR. b = B only; y = X or Y; e = select; t = Start; U = up; D = down; L = left, R = right.
$7E0017	1 byte	I/O	Controller buttons currently held down. Format: axlr----. a = A; x = X; l = L; r = R, - = null/unused.
$7E0018	1 byte	I/O	Controller buttons newly pressed this frame. Format: axlr----. a = A; x = X; l = L; r = R, - = null/unused.
$7E0019	1 byte	Player	Player powerup/status. #$00 = small; #$01 = big; #$02 = cape; #$03 = fire.
$7E001A	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 1 X position, current frame. Mirror of SNES register $210D.
$7E001C	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 1 Y position, current frame. Mirror of SNES register $210E.
$7E001E	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 2 X position, current frame. Mirror of SNES register $210F.
$7E0020	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 2 Y position, current frame. Mirror of SNES register $2110.
$7E0022	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 3 X position. Mirror of SNES register $2111.
$7E0024	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Layer 3 Y position. Mirror of SNES register $2112.
$7E0026	2 bytes	Misc.	Depending on Layer 3 tides being activated or not, it's either: Not activated: Layer 2 X position minus Layer 1 X position. Activated: Layer 3 X position minus Layer 1 X position. Used for various things, among which interaction with multiple layers is included.
$7E0028	2 bytes	Misc.	Depending on Layer 3 tides being activated or not, it's either: Not activated: Layer 2 Y position minus Layer 1 Y position. Activated: Layer 3 Y position minus Layer 1 Y position. Used for various things, among which interaction with multiple layers is included.
$7E002A	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 Center X position. Mirror of SNES register $211F, + #$0080.
$7E002C	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 Center Y position. Mirror of SNES register $2120, + #$0080.
$7E002E	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 matrix parameter A. Mirror of SNES register $211B.
$7E0030	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 matrix parameter B. Mirror of SNES register $211C.

$7E0034	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 matrix parameter D. Mirror of SNES register $211E.
$7E0036	2 bytes	Misc.	Mode 7 rotation. Its values are calculated and stored into the respective Mode 7 parameter mirrors at $7E:002E through $7E:0035. Values #$0000 through #$01FF are all different values, after that it's the same pattern - that is, if you add this 16-bit address with #$0200, there is a 360 degree rotation. Furthermore, this address is used in the brown chained platform code as an index to the sine and cosine tables at $07:F7DB.
$7E0038	2 bytes	Misc.	Mode 7 scaling; that is, making Layer 1 shrink or grow. Its values are calculated and stored into the respective Mode 7 parameter mirrors at $7E:002E through $7E:0035. The first byte - $7E:0038 - is used for horizontal scaling, whereas the second byte - $7E:0039 - is used for vertical scaling. Default value is #$20. The closer to #$00, the more the layer grows, the further from #$00, the more the layer shrinks. Value #$10 makes the layer twice as large as value #$20, value #$40 makes the layer twice as small as value #$20, etc.
$7E003A	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 Layer 1 X position. Mirror of SNES register $210D.
$7E003C	2 bytes	Hardware mirror	Mode 7 Layer 1 Y position. Mirror of SNES register $210E.
$7E003E	1 byte	Hardware mirror	Background mode select applied with IRQ below status bar (so the area above IRQ is not affected by this). Format: 4321pmmm. 4321 = Layer 1/2/3/4 uses 8x8 tiles when clear, 16x16 tiles when set; p = Layer 3 absolute priority (only in background mode 1); mmm = background mode # (0-7). Mirror of SNES register $2105.
$7E003F	1 byte	Hardware mirror	OAM Address, low byte. Also known as the mirror of SNES register $2102. High byte is at $00846B. Is sometimes used to alter priority of various sprite tiles, such as with the sprite backgrounds in the boss rooms.
$7E0040	1 byte	Hardware mirror	CGADSUB settings. Format: shbo4321. s = 0 for adding color layer, 1 for subtracting color layer; h = half-color enable; b = backdrop enable; o = object (aka sprite) enable; 4321 = enable Layer 4, 3, 2, 1 (Layer 3 is only affected below the status bar). Mirror of SNES register $2131.
$7E0041	1 byte	Hardware mirror	Layer 1/2 window mask settings. Format: aaaabbbb. aaaa = Layer 2 window settings; bbbb = Layer 1 window settings. Mirror of SNES register $2123.
$7E0042	1 byte	Hardware mirror	Layer 3/4 window mask settings. Format: aaaabbbb. aaaa = Layer 4 window settings; bbbb = Layer 3 window settings. Mirror of SNES register $2124.
$7E0043	1 byte	Hardware mirror	Object and color window settings. Format: aaaabbbb. aaaa = color window settings; bbbb = object window settings. Mirror of SNES register $2125.
$7E0044	1 byte	Hardware mirror	Initial settings for color addition. Format: aabb00cd. aa = main color window on/off; bb = sub color window on/off; c = fixed color add/subtract; d = direct color mode for 8bpp backgrounds. Mirror of SNES register $2130.
$7E0045	2 bytes	Camera	Column/row of Map16 tiles to use for VRAM upload when layer 1 is scrolling left/up. Its value is equal to $7E:001A (or $7E:001C if vertical) divided by #$10, minus #$08.
$7E0047	2 bytes	Camera	Column/row of Map16 tiles to use for VRAM upload when layer 1 is scrolling right/down. Its value is equal to $7E:001A (or $7E:001C if vertical) divided by #$10, plus #$17.
$7E0049	2 bytes	Camera	Column/row of Map16 tiles to use for VRAM upload when interactive layer 2 is scrolling left/up. Its value is equal to $7E:001E (or $7E:0020 if vertical) divided by #$10 (16), minus #$08.
$7E004B	2 bytes	Camera	Column/row of Map16 tiles to use for VRAM upload when interactive layer 2 is scrolling right/down. Its value is equal to $7E:001E (or $7E:0020 if vertical) divided by #$10, plus #$17.
$7E004D	2 bytes	Camera	Last X/Y value of layer 1 where VRAM upload of Map16 tiles was performed when scrolling left/up. The low 4 bits are forced to zero (AND #$FFF0) in order to get scroll values on a 16 pixel boundary. It is used to determine if a VRAM update is necessary during scrolling.
$7E004F	2 bytes	Camera	Last X/Y value of layer 1 where VRAM upload of Map16 tiles was performed when scrolling right/down. The low 4 bits are forced to zero (AND #$FFF0) in order to get scroll values on a 16 pixel boundary. It is used to determine if a VRAM update is necessary during scrolling.
$7E0051	2 bytes	Camera	Last X/Y value of interactive layer 2 where VRAM upload of Map16 tiles was performed when scrolling left/up. The low 4 bits are forced to zero (AND #$FFF0) in order to get scroll values on a 16 pixel boundary. It is used to determine if a VRAM update is necessary during scrolling.
$7E0053	2 bytes	Camera	Last X/Y value of interactive layer 2 where VRAM upload of Map16 tiles was performed when scrolling right/down. The low 4 bits are forced to zero (AND #$FFF0) in order to get scroll values on a 16 pixel boundary. It is used to determine if a VRAM update is necessary during scrolling.
$7E0055	1 byte	Camera	Direction of scrolling for Layer 1. #$00 = left (or up); #$02 = right (or down). Used to index the various camera tables at $7E0045 to $7E0048 and $7E004D to $7E0050. When handling routine $00F70D, it is set to $00 if the player's on-screen X position is less than the value of $142A and $02 otherwise. This is used to determine which side to enable spawning sprites depending which side the player is on compared to $142A. It is also temporarily set to #$01 during level load for loading onscreen sprites.
$7E0056	1 byte	Camera	Direction of scrolling for Layer 2. #$00 = left (or up); #$02 = right (or down). Used to index the various camera tables at $7E:0049 through $7E:004C and $7E:0051 through $7E:0054.
$7E0057	1 byte	Blocks	Used in the level loading code. It's the position within the subscreen. Format: yyyyxxxx, where yyyy is the Y position (units of 16 pixels) and xxxx is the X position.
$7E0058	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E0059	1 byte	Blocks	Used in the level loading routine as an indicator for the size of the object, or extended object type depending on what object is being loaded. Could be used as scratch RAM (except in ObjecTool and similar codes).
$7E005A	1 byte	Blocks	Used in the level loading routine as the object number. Could be used as scratch RAM (except in ObjecTool and similar codes).
$7E005B	1 byte	Misc.	Screen mode: CD----Vv. C = Collision with layer 2. D = Disable collision with layer 1. V = Vertical layer 2. v = Vertical layer 1. - = unused. This address is set by a table at $05:8417, which is indexed by the level mode setting.
$7E005C	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E005D	1 byte	Misc.	Number of screens in level.
$7E005E	1 byte	Camera	In horizontal levels, used as the level's width in screens, i.e. the screen number (plus 1) at which the camera should stop scrolling rightwards. Equivalent to the "number of screens" dropdown in Lunar Magic's "Change Properties in Header" dialogue. Not used in vertical levels; see $5F instead.
$7E005F	1 byte	Camera	In vertical levels, used as the level's height in screens, i.e. the screen number (plus 1) at which the camera should stop scrolling downwards. Equivalent to the "number of screens" dropdown in Lunar Magic's "Change Properties in Header" dialogue. Not used in horizontal levels; see $5E instead.
$7E0060	4 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E0064	1 byte	Misc.	Properties (YXPPCCCT) byte for most sprites inside levels - including the player. Exceptions to this include sprites that mess with sprite priority in a different way, such as Piranha Plants, items coming out of a box (and inside the item box) and Net Koopas behind the nets.
$7E0065	3 bytes	Pointer	24-bit pointer to layer 1 data - both level and overworld.
$7E0068	3 bytes	Pointer	24-bit pointer to layer 2 data.
$7E006B	3 bytes	Pointer	24-bit pointer to low byte of Map16 block data. Used during level load.
$7E006E	3 bytes	Pointer	24-bit pointer to high byte of Map16 block data. Used during level load.
$7E0071	1 byte	Player	Player animation trigger.	Valid Values
$7E0072	1 byte	Player	Player is in the air flag, as well as the actual pose value to store to $13E0 while the player is in midair. This is set to a certain value depending on how the player got in the air in the first place, and in what state he is currently (rising or sinking). This address is not affected by phases such as climbing. It is, however, also used in swimming animation. Notable values: #$0B = Jumping/swimming upwards. #$0C = Shooting out of a slanted pipe, running at maximum speed. #$24 = Descending/sinking. The address in general is used in many instances. For example, the game checks if this address is #$0C. If not, the player cannot ascend properly with the cape. Furthermore, the Layer 3 smash won't hurt the player if he's not on the ground (any non-zero value) and this address prevents the player from locking in place when still airborne during the Morton/Roy/Ludwig battle.
$7E0073	1 byte	Flag	Player is ducking flag. #$00 = No; #$04 = Yes. However, any value that is not zero also counts as 'Yes', SMW just stores that specific value to it.
$7E0074	1 byte	Player	Player is climbing flag: format: n--sifhb n: Net/vine flag. 1 - net, 0 - vine. Determines whether Mario can move diagonally. s: Side body collision point with climbing. If clear, block horizontal movement. i: Side head collision point with climbing. f: Feet collision point with climbing. h: Head collision point with climbing. b: Body collision point with climbing.
$7E0075	1 byte	Flag	Player is in water flag. #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E0076	1 byte	Player	Player direction. #$00 = Left; #$01 = Right.
$7E0077	1 byte	Player	Player blocked status - Used to check if player is blocked in a certain direction. Format: SxxMUDLR The M bit means that the player is in the middle of a block. The S bit indicates that the player is touching the side of the screens while horizontal screen scrolling is disabled. UDLR = up, down, left, right (contact with walls). L is checked each 4 frames when the player have negative X speed. Others frames is zero. R is checked each 4 frames when the player have positive X speed. Others frames is zero.
$7E0078	1 byte	Player	Used to hide the player partially or fully. Format: dlucapLU. d = used in conjunction with all other set bits in order to disable processes such as the star timer decrementing. l = hide lower extra player tile when in flight (hovering with the cape). u = hide upper extra player tile when in flight (hovering with the cape). c = hide regular cape tile. a = hide attributive 8x8 tile. p = hide extra player tile that is shown during the inflated P-balloon pose (does not apply if the player is small). L = hide lower half of the body. U = hide upper half of the body.
$7E0079	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E007A	1 byte	Player	Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point player X speed (fractions of 256, see code around $00D792, this handles horizontal movement with the player and when the player is on the slope). Not to be confused with $7E13DA, which handles X position.
$7E007B	1 byte	Player	Player X speed (8-bit, 2-complement signed), in 1/16s of a pixel per frame. $80-$FF: leftwards speed, with $80 fastest. $00: Not moving horizontally. $01-$7F: rightwards speed, with $7F fastest. Note: Player's maximum X speeds, while holding left or right oscillates between (inclusively) $13-$15 (walking) and $2F-$31 (dashing). The oscillation is due to the code applying deceleration when Mario is at or above the max speed, rather than just setting his speed to the max value.
$7E007C	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E007D	1 byte	Player	Player Y speed (8-bit, 2-complement signed), in 1/16s of a pixel per frame: $80-$FF: Upwards speed, with $80 being the fastest (launches the player the highest) $00: Not moving vertically. $01-$7F: Downwards speed, with $7F being the fastest. Note: $43 (when holding jump) $46 (not holding jump) is the maximum fall speed. Although $40 is the intended max speed (see at $00D7AF), the code first caps the downwards speed, and then apply the gravitational acceleration (increases Y speed by $03 or $06) afterwards. When jumping, $B3 is the normal jump speed, and #$A4 is the jump speed when fully running.
$7E007E	2 bytes	Player	Player X position (16-bit), within the borders of the screen.
$7E0080	2 bytes	Player	Player Y position (16-bit), within the borders of the screen. Note that this value may be displaced by $1888 (the screen shake), in addition to small one-pixel displacements based on Mario's powerup status and walking animation frame.
$7E0082	3 bytes	Pointer	Points to how steep the various slopes are and which parts of the slopes they represent. Points to $00:E5C8 in tilesets 0 and 7, and $00:E55E in others. The table this one points to has one byte per block, from tile 16E to tile 1D7. The value in these tables is then multiplied by 16, the lowest nibble of the sprite/player X position is added, and this is then used as an index to $00:E632 to tell how many pixels the sprite/player should move down from the nearest 16x16 tile.
$7E0085	1 byte	Flag	Water level flag. #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E0086	1 byte	Flag	Slippery level flag. #$00 = No; #$01 through #$7F = Half-slippery; #$80 through #$FF = Yes. Possible values in the clean ROM are #$00 and #$80.
$7E0087	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load. Note that this address is used as freeram by the SA-1 patch.
$7E0088	1 byte	Player	How long player goes into a pipe until he warps to another level. Also used as a timer in the castle destruction scenes for holding inputs.
$7E0089	1 byte	Player	Action to take when the player enters or exits from a pipe (see valid values). It also serves as a timer for the No Yoshi cutscenes for each controller command (for the table at $00:C848).	Valid Values
$7E008A	3 bytes	Misc.	Used for quite a number of things. Altogether, it's a 24-bit pointer to the location of the compressed graphics files inside the ROM. Furthermore, these addresses all appear to be used as scratch RAM. For example, solely $7E:008A is used as number of options to select in a blinking cursor menu.
$7E008D	3 bytes	Misc.	This forms a 24-bit pointer to part of the decompressed graphics; starts at $7E:ACFE/F and keeps decrementing. The three seperate RAM addresses have multiple purposes, however. Notes: -During code at $00E940, $8F is a backup of $72 (player in the air flag). The code at $00EC06 is used for detecting when entering doors.
$7E0090	1 byte	Player	Player Y position within a block. Calculated with $7E:0096 & #$0F. Indicates whether the player is touching the top or the bottom of the block.
$7E0091	1 byte	Player	The direction to move the player out of a block. #$01-#$07 are up, #$08-#$0F are down. Directly storing to it is ineffective as $7E:0090 will be used to overwrite it at $00:EE19.
$7E0092	1 byte	Player	Player X position within a block. Calculated with $7E:0094 + #$08 & #$0F.
$7E0093	1 byte	Player	The side of a block the player is on. It's set to #$00 for the right side and #$01 for the left side. This address is relative to the block the player is currently inside.
$7E0094	2 bytes	Player	Player X position (16-bit) within the level, next frame (calculates player position one frame ahead, as opposed to $7E:00D1). It's also used as a player X position on-screen on the overworld border.
$7E0096	2 bytes	Player	Player Y position (16-bit) within the level, next frame (calculates player position one frame ahead, as opposed to $7E:00D3). It's also used as a player Y position on-screen on the overworld border.
$7E0098	4 bytes	Misc.	Position (in pixels) of the collision point currently being processed for player interaction with blocks in the level. Also used in the creation of various sprite types/other blocks. $98-$99: 16-bit Y position $9A-$9B: 16-bit X position Note that this position is with respect to the top left of the layer being processed. Hence, if Layer 1 and Layer 2 are offset from each other, this value will differ between the two, even when Mario is at the same position with respect to the level. Also note that, in vertical levels, the X and Y position may be swapped after running certain block changing routines (e.g. $00BEB0 or the ChangeMap16 routine included with various tools).
$7E009C	1 byte	Blocks	Map16 tile to generate (used with $00:BEB0).	Valid Values
$7E009D	1 byte	Flag	Lock animation and sprites flag. Most codes will still run if this is set, but almost nothing will move or animate.
$7E009E	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite number, or Acts Like setting for custom sprites.
$7E00AA	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite Y speed table.
$7E00B6	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite X speed table.
$7E00C2	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In SMW, it's commonly used as a pointer to different parts of a sprite. More information can be found here.
$7E00CE	3 bytes	Pointer	24-bit pointer to level's sprite data.
$7E00D1	2 bytes	Player	Player X position (16-bit) within the level, current frame (as opposed to $7E:0094).
$7E00D3	2 bytes	Player	Player Y position (16-bit) within the level, current frame (as opposed to $7E:0096).
$7E00D5	3 bytes	Pointer	Pointer to X and Y positions of Wiggler segments. Table at $7F9A7B.
$7E00D8	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite Y position, low byte.
$7E00E4	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite X position, low byte.
$7E00F0	16 bytes	Empty	Used by Lunar Magic for various purposes. $7E:00FE is the current level number plus 1 (so Yoshi's Island 1 would store #$0106 here). It's used for the custom palette loading code. #$0000 means that the custom palette won't be loaded (this is probably used for castle intros and/or credits). The rest is unknown. Originally, this address is empty, and it's cleared at reset, titlescreen and overworld load.
$7E0100	1 byte	Misc.	Game Mode.	Valid Values
$7E0101	4 bytes	Misc.	Currently loaded sprite GFX files - stored in reverse order.
$7E0105	4 bytes	Misc.	Currently loaded layer GFX files - stored in reverse order.
$7E0109	1 byte	Misc.	When set to a non-zero value, the overworld loading routine is overridden by loading a level value stored here, minus #$24 if it's above #$24. For example, the intro level (level C5) is loaded this way by storing #$E9 to this address. Depending on whether the player is on the main overworld or a submap, the level in question is either in the 0xx or 1xx area.
$7E010A	1 byte	Misc.	Current save file number.
$7E010B	245 bytes	Misc.	Stack. The first two bytes is the current level number in most hacks.
$7E0200	544 bytes	I/O	OAM table - handles all sprite tiles. There are 0x80 (128) slots for tiles. Generally, the table is indexed from either $0200 or $0300, with $0300 being used for normal sprites (and Mario) and $0200 being used for various other sprite types. Note that tiles are drawn to the screen from top to bottom of the table; that is, a sprite in slot 0 will always appear visually on top of a sprite in slot 1. The actual OAM table consists of two sub-tables: - $7E0200-$7E03FF (512 bytes): Each slot consists of four bytes in the order of: X position, Y position, tile number, YXPPCCCT. Unused tiles are generally marked by giving them a Y position of #$F0 (which is offscreen). - $7E0400-$7E041F (32 bytes): Each slot gets 2 bits, used to handle a 9th bit of the X position (for handling sprite tiles that go past the left edge of the screen) and a "size bit" which (generally) controls whether the tile is 8x8 (0) or 16x16 (1). Since each tile only requires 2 bits, each byte of this table actually handles four separate tiles; see the details table for more information. It is not recommended that you write to this table directly, though, and you should use the table at $0420 instead. Various tiles are documented here. Note that: Code $7E0310-$7E0313 is for the player's upper half $7E0314-$7E0317 for the player's lower half $7E0318-$7E031B is for the player's hand.	$0400 formatting
$7E0420	128 bytes	Sprites	A table that determines the size of a sprite tile - 8x8 (#$00) or 16x16 (#$02). Each byte corresponds to four OAM bytes. Stores to $7E:0400-$7E:041F (where each two bits correspond to four OAM bytes.) The lowest bit (#$01) is also used for the high bit of the X position.
$7E04A0	448 bytes	Misc.	HDMA table for windowing effects, such as with the keyhole, level ending and titlescreen.
$7E0660	32 bytes	Misc.	Gets overwritten by the HDMA table for the level ending circle. If the player gets above or below the borders of the screen, it can even run into $7E:0680 and beyond. Otherwise cleared on reset and titlescreen load, but usage as empty RAM is definitely not recommended.
$7E0680	1 byte	Palettes	Index to the palette updating tables, that are uploaded every frame. #$00 = Use table at $7E:0682. #$03 = Use table at $7E:0905. #$06 = Use table at $7E:0703.
$7E0681	1 byte	Palettes	Index to the table at $7E:0682 during the time when data is stored to this table in the lightning, Magikoopa and Big Boo Boss codes.
$7E0682	19 bytes	Palettes	Used for uploading palettes dynamically. SMW uses this in the lightning/Magikoopa/Big Boo Boss palette effects. $7E:0682 holds the amount of bytes to transfer, $7E:0683 holds the color number (stored to SNES register $2121), the bytes afterwards hold the actual color values transferred to the CGRAM. Further, this table may be indexed by $7E:0681 to add more color destinations; it's terminated by a #$00. The format is the same as before, just at the new location. This table doesn't actually have to end at $7E:0694, but SMW never goes beyond this. As such, the area after this address is listed as "empty".
$7E0695	108 bytes	Empty	100 bytes used in LM 1.70+ for VRAM modification. In the clean ROM, it's empty (cleared on reset and titlescreen load).
$7E0701	2 bytes	Palettes	Background color. Used during gameplay in conjunction with $2132.
$7E0703	512 bytes	Palettes	The entire palette. It is only uploaded to CGRAM during the level loading routine. Also used during overworld load, but not all of it.
$7E0903	2 bytes	Palettes	Copy of background color $7E:0701/2.
$7E0905	496 bytes	Palettes	Copy of palettes 0-F from $0703-$08F2. Only the first half of palette F is included. It is used in overworld path events fading in ($04:EAA0), and level ending fade in/out ($00:AF9D).
$7E0AF5	1 byte	Empty	Cleared on reset and titlescreen load. Also cleared after a boss had been beaten - this can be disabled by changing [9C 5C 0A] at $00:B08D to [80 01 EA].
$7E0AF6	256 bytes	Misc.	Used for three different things: 1. Decompressed overworld graphics, animated tiles. For that it also cooperates with $7E:0BF6-$7E:0C55. 2. Iggy's/Larry's platform interaction. (16x16 tiles in a 16x16 square.) 3. Various tables for the Yoshi eggs at the credits, such as how much time must be waited until a new egg breaks, Y speed tables. See this post. In addition, Lunar Magic 3.00+ uses part of this region to support the expanded horizontal level system. Addresses are as follows: $0BEE: Used if the Smart Spawn option is set to check if the screen has scrolled horizontally this frame. $0BEF: Used if the Smart Spawn option is set to check if the screen has scrolled vertically this frame. $0BF0-$0BF1: Minimum Y offset from the screen that a sprite can be in order to spawn. Set depending on the spawn range index. $0BF2-$0BF3: Maximum Y offset from the screen that a sprite can be in order to spawn. Set depending on the spawn range index. $0BF4: Extra flags for sprites, s-----rr. s = Smart Spawn flag, rr = spawn range index, - = unused bits. $0BF5: Extra flags and horizontal level mode, tbnmmmmm. t = flags the level as using a non-background Layer 2 or 3, b = show the bottom row of the level, n = use the new sprite system, mmmmm = horizontal level mode (see here for more info).
$7E0BF6	384 bytes	Misc.	Decompressed GFX for tiles #$4A-#$4F, #$5A-#$5F of SP1. In addition, Lunar Magic 3.00+ uses this region to support the expanded horizontal level system. Addresses are used as follows: $0BF6-$0C55: Table of up to 32 24-bit pointers to the low byte of the object data in each screen. These point to locations in $7EC800. $0C26-$0C55 is used for Layer 2/3 data in levels with a Layer 2/3 foreground. $0C56-$0CB5: Table of up to 32 24-bit pointers to the high byte of the object data in each screen. These point to locations in $7FC800. $0C86-$0CB5 is used for Layer 2/3 data in levels with a Layer 2/3 foreground. $0CB6-$0CD5: Copy of the low bytes of the table at $0BF6. $0CC6-$0CD5 is used for Layer 2/3 data in levels with a Layer 2/3 foreground. $0CD6-$0CF5: Copy of the low bytes of the table at $0C56. $0CE6-$0CF5 is used for Layer 2/3 data in levels with a Layer 2/3 foreground. $0CF6-$0D35: Table of up to 32 16-bit pointers to the sprite data in each screen. These are used to change $CE-$CF. $0D36-$0D75: Table of up to 32 16-bit values, one for each screen. The low byte is used to modify the sprite's Y position, while the high byte indicates the number of the sprite within the level (or the number of sprites that have been processed in the level so far).

$7E0D84	1 byte	Misc.	Used in Player Graphics DMA routine. This holds the amount of tiles to load. Is #$0A in levels (because of Yoshi) and #$06 on the overworld. If it's set to zero, the player palette isn't reloaded. The presents screen makes use of that.
$7E0D85	20 bytes	Sprites	16-bit pointers in bank $7E for uploading the player's, Yoshi's and Podoboo's on-screen tiles. They're divided in two sets of 10 bytes, each two bytes being used for two 8x8 tiles. The first 10 bytes are for the top half of each 16x16 tile (player's head, player's bottom, cape, Yoshi's head/Podoboo, Yoshi's bottom). The latter 10 bytes are for the bottom half of each 16x16 tile (same order).
$7E0D99	2 bytes	Graphics	Holds the lower two bytes of the 24-bit RAM address (bank byte is $7E) of tile 7F's graphics; used during the player graphics DMA routine.

$7E0DD4	1 byte	Should be 00	This address is effectively the high byte of $0DD3 on the overworld and should not be touched there, though in levels it is unused. It is also referenced once as the low byte of $0DD5, though its value isn't used there. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load, and when Mario starts walking on an overworld path.
$7E0DD5	1 byte	Misc.	Used to indicate how a level has been exited, and hence what events to activate on the overworld.	Valid Values
$7E0DD6	1 byte	Player	Which character is in play. Used on the overworld. The value of this address is actually $7E:0DB3 * 4. #$00 = Mario; #$04 = Luigi.
$7E0DD7	1 byte	Should be 00	An address that is expected to be #$00 throughout the entire game. $7E:0DD6 (current player) is sometimes used in 16bit mode, so using this address for different purposes is a bad idea.
$7E0DD8	1 byte	Flag	Used to tell if the game is currently switching between Mario and Luigi or not. #$00 = Not switching between Mario and Luigi. #$01 = Switching between Mario and Luigi, during the fade-out.
$7E0DD9	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E0DDA	1 byte	Misc.	Back-up of the music register. Gets its value from the level music table at $05:84DB. Bit 7 of this address is set when the player has a star powerup or presses a P-switch; when this is cleared again, the music ends. This address is also set to #$FF when the level ends, either by beating it or by dying. Bit 6 is similar but is used to not reupload all music. This is used when changing from the Mario start screen to the level game mode.
$7E0DDB	3 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E0DDE	1 byte	Misc.	Which files to delete on the erase file screen. Format: xxxxx123. It is also used as an overworld sprite index.
$7E0DDF	1 byte	Sprites	Starting OAM index for overworld sprites. Appears to be used only by the cloud sprites.
$7E0DE0	5 bytes	Sprites	Used for the overworld cloud sprites. This table is used in such a way that clouds check each other's 16-bit Y positions. By doing this, they can maintain their speed, making it the same for all clouds on-screen.

$7E0E85	16 bytes	Sprites	Overworld sprite Z position, high byte; distance that the sprite is from the ground. Probably has no real purpose in the original SMW; it may not be anything but #$00.
$7E0E95	16 bytes	Sprites	Overworld sprite X speed.
$7E0EA5	16 bytes	Sprites	Overworld sprite Y speed.
$7E0EB5	16 bytes	Sprites	Overworld sprite Z speed.

$7E0EE5	16 bytes	Sprites	Accumulating fraction bits for overworld sprite Z speed.
$7E0EF5	1 byte	Overworld	This would be used to check whether the Koopa Kid should activate. Most likely it was used to prevent the Koopa Kid from triggering multiple times. Uses bits 5-7 only (#$80, #$40 and #$20). This address can be used as empty free RAM if you do not use the overworld koopa kids, it is cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E0EF6	1 byte	Overworld	Indicates which of the koopa kid triggers you are standing on. By default the tiles are: #$49, #$4A and #$4B. These correspond to index #$00, #$01 and #$02 respectively. This address is unused in the original SMW and can be used as empty free RAM, it is cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E0EF7	1 byte	Misc.	If bit 7 is set (#$80-#$FF) and the player is located on a level tile, he will enter it directly.
$7E0EF8	1 byte	Flag	Yoshi has been saved for the first time flag - used for Yoshi's thank message.
$7E0EF9	55 bytes	Misc.	Status bar tilemap.	View tiles as a table Diagram
$7E0F30	1 byte	Counter	Timer frame counter. When this address reaches #$00, one second is subtracted from SMW's timer, after which this address is set to #$28. This means that a SMW second is only 40 frames - in NTSC (60Hz), three SMW seconds = two real seconds
$7E0F31	3 bytes	Counter	Timer. $7E:0F31 = Hundreds. $7E:0F32 = Tens. $7E:0F33 = Ones.
$7E0F34	6 bytes	Counter	24-bit player score: $7E0F34-$7E0F36: Mario. $7E0F37-$7E0F39: Luigi. Note: SMW stores the scores internally as the number displayed on the status bar divided by 10 ("1234560" shown is 123456 ($01E240) stored in memory). Note: This number is stored in little endian the same way 16-bit values are stored ($01E240 is [$40, $E2, $01]).
$7E0F3A	6 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E0F40	2 bytes	Counter	Amount of score to add up to the score total, at level end. Decrements as total score increments.

$7E0F48	1 byte	Counter	Mario Bonus stars.
$7E0F49	1 byte	Counter	Luigi Bonus stars.
$7E0F4A	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Is used for the castle background flame's frame to display, as well as Boo ring's speed - #$00 = still; #$01-#$7F = counter-clockwise; #$80-#$FF = clockwise. Is also used for several other sprites that are generated, such as the ghost ceiling, but not necessarily for the same purpose.
$7E0F5E	20 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load. This table was probably meant to function as a cluster sprite table, but it was never used as such.
$7E0F72	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Could be used for any purpose - in the original SMW, it holds the index of each individual Boo in a Boo ring (#$00-#$09). It is also used in the death bat ceiling to keep track of the bats' Y position.
$7E0F86	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table, used for various purposes including determining which Boo ring is which and determining whether or not a particular "death bat" is visible.
$7E0F9A	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite table. Its purpose in SMW are the following: act as a timer for determining when death bats will fly, and as a timer to freeze an active Boo in the ghost ceiling.
$7E0FAE	2 bytes	Sprites	Low byte of the angle of the Boo rings. $7E:0FAE is for the first Boo ring active; $7E:0FAF is for the second Boo ring active. Note that this is not reset on level or overworld load.
$7E0FB0	2 bytes	Sprites	High byte of the angle of the Boo rings. $7E:0FB0 is for the first Boo ring active; $7E:0FB1 is for the second Boo ring active. Note that this does not reset on level or overworld load.
$7E0FB2	2 bytes	Sprites	Boo ring center X position, low byte. $7E:0FB2 is for the first active Boo ring; $7E:0FB3 is for the second active Boo ring.
$7E0FB4	2 bytes	Sprites	Boo ring center X position, high byte. $7E:0FB4 is for the first active Boo ring; $7E:0FB5 is for the second active Boo ring.
$7E0FB6	2 bytes	Sprites	Boo ring center Y position, low byte. $7E:0FB6 is for the first active Boo ring; $7E:0FB7 is for the second active Boo ring.
$7E0FB8	2 bytes	Sprites	Boo ring center Y position, high byte. $7E:0FB8 is for the first active Boo ring; $7E:0FB9 is for the second active Boo ring.
$7E0FBA	2 bytes	Sprites	Offscreen flag for the Boo ring. If a byte is set to 01, the ring is offscreen and doesn't show up. $7E:0FBA is for the first Boo ring active; $7E:0FBB is for the second.
$7E0FBC	2 bytes	Sprites	Boo ring index to level table (see $7E:1938). They are never erased, though, so they will always be reloaded.
$7E0FBE	1024 bytes	Pointer	16-bit pointer table, indexed by Map16 tile number*2. Points to the image to use for a certain Map16 tile. Usually starts with #$8000 or $9100 (levels) or #$D000 (overworld) and the value counts up with eight per two RAM addresses. Bank byte should be #$0D (levels) or #$05 (overworld).
$7E13BE	1 byte	Misc.	Item memory settings from header.
$7E13BF	1 byte	Misc.	Translevel number, set during transfer from world map to level. This identifies the first room of the current level. To convert this to a room number (the "level number" in Lunar Magic), if > #$24, then add #$DC. In the clean ROM, the actual formula is more complex. If translevel number > #$24, then subtract #$24. Then check RAM $7E:1F11 or $7E:1F12. If the player is in a submap (not the big world map), then add #$100. The submaps of SMW use translevel numbers > #$24, and the big map uses numbers <= #$24, so the simplication is that #$100 - #$24 is #$DC; Lunar Magic forces this simplification to remain.
$7E13C0	1 byte	Should be 00	While this is never non-zero in the original SMW, $7E:13BF (level number) is sometimes used in 16bit mode, so using this address for different purposes is a bad idea To make this one become useful free RAM, change $05:D9C9 to [E2 10 AC BF 13 B9 08 D6 8D EA 1D] (header : lorom : org $05D9C9 : SEP #$10 : LDY $13BF : LDA $D608,y : STA $1DEA).
$7E13C1	1 byte	Overworld	Current Layer 1 overworld tile the player is standing on.
$7E13C2	1 byte	Should be 00	Used occasionally on the overworld as the high byte of $13C1, and thus should be kept as #$00 there. It is safe to use in levels, however. Cleared on reset, title screen load, and when walking onto a new overworld tile.
$7E13C3	1 byte	Overworld	Current player submap. #$00 = Main map; #$01 = Yoshi's Island; #$02 = Vanilla Dome; #$03 = Forest of Illusion; #$04 = Valley of Bowser; #$05 = Special World; #$06 = Star World. Note that it is sometimes inaccurate. It is wiser to use $7E:0DB3 and $7E:1F11.
$7E13C4	1 byte	Should be 00	An address that is expected to be #$00 throughout the entire game. $7E:13C3 (current player submap) is often used in 16-bit mode, so using this address for different purposes is a bad idea, unless you make sure it's cleared on overworld load. Is also cleared during the switch between Mario and Luigi. Furthermore, cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E13C5	1 byte	Counter	Increments each time a 3-Up moon is collected, serves no other purpose. (Its value is never loaded.)
$7E13C6	1 byte	Misc.	Used by SMW's cutscenes. Goes from #$01 to #$08 and these values are in the order of the boss battles, e.g. #$01 = Iggy's castle, #$02 = Morton's castle. #$08 is the value used for the credits. Set to #$FF (in conjunction with $7E1493) to end the level as a boss fight: Mario won't walk during the fanfare, and it will trigger the boss cutscene set in Lunar Magic for the current level (if any). This also works for triggering the credit sequence.
$7E13C7	1 byte	Yoshi	Yoshi color. #$04=yellow; #$06=blue; #$08=red; #$0A=green. Refreshes on level change
$7E13C8	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset and titlescreen load.
$7E13C9	1 byte	Flag	Show "Continue/End" menu flag. #$00 = Don't show it; #$01 = freeze player, but don't load the text yet; #$02 = freeze player, load "Continue/End" menu.
$7E13CA	1 byte	Flag	Show save prompt flag. It actually triggers when you get on a new level tile. #$00 = Don't show save prompt; #$01 = show save prompt.
$7E13CB	1 byte	Misc.	This has been left out in the current SMW version. When you hit a goal tape, and spawn a starman (which never happens), this is set to #$01. Now each time you switch an area in a level, this gets multiplied by 2. When this reaches #$80 (changed area seven times), you will start the area with the star power. The instruction which sets this address to #$01 is located at $00:FB5C.
$7E13CC	1 byte	Counter	The value you store here is the amount of coins that are being added up, once per frame, to the total (done by incrementing the coin count and decrementing $13CC until 0). This is originally to allow the coin incrementing animation instead of instantly showing the total. This is handled by a code at $008F1D-$008F27. Usually, $7E:13CC is either #$00 or #$01 (Sprite $7E (unused flying red coin)), but it can be set to other values in order to add up multiple coins at once.
$7E13CD	1 byte	Flag	If set to #$00, the midway point won't trigger if grabbed (it'll still make you big, but it won't set the midway flag). Never has any effect in the original SMW, probably left over from a beta.
$7E13CE	1 byte	Flag	Midway Point flag. #$00 = Midway Point not crossed; #$01 = Midway Point crossed. Also used on the overworld as a flag to to indicate the level should activate an event.
$7E13CF	1 byte	Flag	Used to override the castle/ghost house entrance cutscene after you collect the midway point. #$00 = Show castle/ghost house entrance cutscene after collecting midway point. #$40 = Don't show castle/ghost house entrance cutscene after collecting midway point. Note that any non-zero value will work, this is just what SMW uses. Change $05:D9DE to #$9C to make the cutscene play regardless.
$7E13D0	1 byte	Overworld	Index to what tile should be stored to VRAM during the castle/switch palace/fortress destruction sequence. #$00 = Pressed green switch. #$01 = Pressed yellow/red/blue switch. #$02 = Destroyed fortress. #$03 = Destroyed castle with exit. #$04 = Destroyed castle without exit. The tile data is then read from $04:EE7A through a 24-bit pointer at $7E:000A (scratch RAM).
$7E13D1	1 byte	Overworld	Holds the value of the listed castle/fortress/switch tile that must be destroyed, by checking which event it uses (table at $04E5D6). For example, event #$06 (Iggy's Castle destroyed) makes this address hold value #$00 (it's the first slot in the table). This address is then used as index to the address where the destroyed tile is uploaded to VRAM.
$7E13D2	1 byte	Misc.	Color of the currently pressed switch palace, or #$00 for None. It's set to #$01 when the player hits a switch palace, and then set to the correct color (#$01 for Yellow, #$02 for Blue, #$03 for Red and #$04 for Green, others are oddly colored and/or flipped) by the message box routine. It creates both the ! blocks in the message boxes and on the overworld.
$7E13D3	1 byte	Flag	Timer that disables Start from flipping the Pause flag when its value is not #$00 (thus, #$01-#$FF). If it is #$00, being able to press Start to get into the Pause mode is possible.
$7E13D4	1 byte	Flag	The pause flag for levels, and the "look around the map" flag on the overworld. In a level: #$00 = off, #$01 = Paused On the overworld: #$00 = off, #$01 = Look around, #$02 = Return to Mario
$7E13D5	1 byte	Misc.	A flag that determines whether or not Layer 3 should scroll with the screen. If this is zero, Layer 3 will scroll depending on the tileset and tide setting; if it is any other value, Layer 3 will always be at the same position relative to Layer 1. Also used on the overworld as accumulating fraction bits for player X speed (see $04:9801).
$7E13D6	1 byte	Timer	Amount of time to wait until the score-incrementing drumroll begins when you beat a level. Any time you enter a level, this address is set to #$50. Once you beat the level and the number of bonus stars you won and the score is displayed (or just the score if you didn't cut the goal tape), this timer will decrement itself once per frame. Once it reaches a negative value or zero, the drumroll will commence. Once the drumroll ends, this is set to #$30, and then set to zero upon going to the overworld. It serves the same purpose after you beat a boss as well.
$7E13D7	2 bytes	Overworld	Y position fraction bits for the intro march (walking to Yoshi's House). Treated as 16-bit, but the high byte is effectively unused outside of being written to. With Lunar Magic v3.00, this address gains a new purpose in horizontal levels, being used to hold the height of the level data (in units of pixels). For example, in the original level sizes, this value is set to 0x01B0 (for 0x1B blocks tall). Because the level screen is always 16 blocks wide, this is also the number of blocks per screen column.
$7E13D9	1 byte	Pointer	A pointer to various processes running on the overworld. Also used in the level end march.	Valid Values (Overworld) Valid Values (Level end)
$7E13DA	1 byte	Player	Accumulating fraction bits (fractions of 16; bits 4-7 used while bits 0-3 are always zero; #%XXXX0000) for fixed point player X position (not to be confused with $7E007A). This is used mainly for player's X speed position movement to enable increments for less-than a pixel. Handled via a routine at $00DC4F.
$7E13DB	1 byte	Player	Player walking frame pose. While walking, it gets the values from the table at $00:DC78, indexed by $7E:0019, which eventually becomes the player pose if the player does nothing else. The duration of each frame is read from $00:DC7C, though $7E:13DB plays no role in this. Note that this never is #$02 if the player is small. $7E:13DB plays a role in determining which walking frame should be raised one pixel - see $00E35D.
$7E13DC	1 byte	Player	Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point player Y position. Same format as $7E13DA but Y position instead of X.
$7E13DD	1 byte	Player	Pose used while the player is on the ground and turning around with a non-zero X speed. Uses same format as $13E0. This address can be used as a flag for when the player is turning, but note that it only gets set if the player is moving horizontally already; if the player turns from a stand-still, it will not be set. $1499 can be used to check this instead if the player is also holding an item.
$7E13DE	1 byte	Player	Poses used on overworld map and during credits by the player. The animation uses three frames, namely: this value, this value + 1, and this value + 2. Can also be used as a "Player is looking up" flag. That's cleared every frame, and it's set to #$03 when holding the Up arrow and standing still. The graphics routine is the only code that actually reads it.
$7E13DF	1 byte	Player	This address controls which image must be shown of the cape. This obviously only has effect when the player has a cape at all. While walking and sprint-jumping, frames 3 through 6 are cycled through, while 7 through A are used when falling downward. Pose zero is used for both standing still and jumping straight upwards, but is never shown without being preceded by frames 2 and 1. Note that when the player is swooping/flying with his cape, $7E:13E0 will override the cape image. See also the diagram shown under $7E:13E0, poses #$2A through #$2F. Whatever value $7E:13DF has will be irrelevant during this phase. Cape images beyond #$0A are not recommended for usage, as they are glitched.	Diagram
$7E13E0	1 byte	Player	This address controls the "main" poses of Mario and Luigi. Adjusting it will adjust the player's image as such. Of note are the following poses. Poses #$40 and #$41 are blank - the player is "invisible". These are indicated with a large red cross in the diagram. Poses #$2A through #$2F absolutely require the player to have a cape powerup, otherwise they aren't shown correctly. Pose #$42 (inflated, small) can be shown regardless of powerup. It is obviously not recommended to be used as such. The same can be said about pose #$43 (inflated, big). Poses #$00, #$3D and #$46 are all used in the powerup animation. Poses #$14, #$20, #$21, #$27, #$28 and #$29 are all used during Yoshi riding. Any pose beyond #$46 is not recommended to use, as they can be glitchy.	Diagram
$7E13E1	1 byte	Player	What kind of slope the player is on (also set when flying with a cape).	Valid Values
$7E13E2	1 byte	Player	Spinjump fireball timer. It increments every frame when the player spinjumps, if he has fire power. If the lowest four bits are clear, the player will throw out a fireball. The fourth bit (#$10) is the direction in which that fireball will move.
$7E13E3	1 byte	Player	Player is wall-running flag.	Valid Values
$7E13E4	1 byte	Player	Player dash timer/P-meter. Increments with #$02 every frame the player is walking on the ground with the dash button held, otherwise decrements until it is zero. #$70 indicates that the player is at its maximum running speed, and also means that the player is able to fly with a cape.
$7E13E5	1 byte	Player	This is the index used to index the table at $00DC7C, to determine how many frames to store to the player animation timer, at $7E:1496. It changes depending on the surface the player is standing/walking/running on.	Possible values
$7E13E6	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E13E8	1 byte	Flag	Cape spin interacts with sprites flag. #$00 = don't interact; #$01 = do interact.
$7E13E9	2 bytes	Player	Cape interaction X position within the level. It's adjusted when the cape attack is used.
$7E13EB	2 bytes	Player	Cape interaction Y position within the level. It's adjusted when the cape attack is used.
$7E13ED	1 byte	Player	Player pose on a slope when sliding, is set to #$1C. This value is also negative (bit 7 set) when landing from flying, which allows the player to slide.
$7E13EE	1 byte	Player	What kind of slope the player is on.	Valid Values
$7E13EF	1 byte	Player	Player is on ground flag. Set to #$01 on Layer 1, #$02 on Layer 2, and #$03 when on both. If he's running fast enough up a slope, that value is doubled. Is only set when touching an actual floor, and not when running up walls. Does not work correctly in blocks, as the value still has to be calculated at that point. Instead, the value is copied over to $7E008D during that time. If Layer 1 interaction is enabled, that address is also doubled.
$7E13F0	1 byte	Player	Used to calculate the index to the direction the player faces while using a climbing net door. The formula is $7E:149D << 1 & #$0E \| $7E:13F0. This address gets its value from $7E:13F9.
$7E13F1	1 byte	Flag	Vertical Scroll enable flag. #$00 = disabled; #$01 = enabled. Not to be confused with $7E1412 (for most ASM codes, to enable/disable vertical scrolling, using $1412 is recommended instead).
$7E13F2	1 byte	Empty	Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld, and cutscene load, as well as at $00F8A7. (TODO: What exactly is this routine?)
$7E13F3	1 byte	Timer	When you get a P-balloon, this is set to #$09. Each frame afterwards, this is decremented until it gets to #$01, at which point the player will begin to show his inflated frame.
$7E13F4	5 bytes	Blocks	A byte assigned to each row of blocks in the coin bonus game. Updated as blocks are chosen by the player to decide whether a life is given or not. If the value is #$FF, a life will be handed out. $7E:13F4 is for the uppermost row, $7E:13F5 for the one below that, etc.
$7E13F9	1 byte	Player	Flag that sends Mario behind layers. 01 will send him behind objects, 02 will send him behind objects and sprites, and 03 will only send him behind sprites. Setting to 01 also treats Mario as if he's behind a net, meaning he'll only interact with sprites also behind nets. 02 and 03 will disable sprite interaction altogether.
$7E13FA	1 byte	Player	Whether the player is capable of jumping out of the water immediately or not (so just below the surface). #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E13FB	1 byte	Player	Player is frozen flag. This includes controls and animation. Other sprites still move and can interact with the player, but contact with them should be avoided, as it would freeze the game. This may be useful for cutscenes to eliminate the jumping sound.
$7E13FC	1 byte	Misc.	Currently active boss. Used for determining which graphics to load, as well as checking for various other purposes (like when the player should have priority over certain sprite backgrounds, that can be found in the boss rooms). #$00 = Morton; #$01 = Roy; #$02 = Ludwig; #$03 = Bowser; #$04 = Reznor Note that Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy and Larry don't make use of this. Cleared on level->overworld transitions, and possibly at other times too.
$7E13FD	1 byte	Flag	When the L/R button is pressed, this address gets set to #$01 which briefly freezes the screen while the screen scrolls in whatever direction you pressed. It's cleared again when scrolling is done.
$7E13FE	1 byte	Misc.	#$02 = scroll right, #$04 = scroll left. Used when L/R is pressed.
$7E13FF	1 byte	Player	Player direction ($7E:0076) times 2. Used in the L/R screen-scrolling routine to determine when the screen will stop scrolling.
$7E1400	1 byte	Camera	Controls if the camera should move to be at the proper place compared to the player. If this is set, L and R are ignored. #$00 = normal case, don't move camera automatically, keep it in place (assuming L/R aren't used). #$08 = move camera right. #$0A = move camera left.
$7E1401	1 byte	Timer	Increments with one each time one of the L/R buttons is pressed, until the timer hits #$10 (at which the L/R screen scroll is activated) or if the buttons are released.
$7E1402	1 byte	Blocks	A flag that is set when the player is on a note block that is currently going down, i.e. the bounce sprite is moving downwards. If this wouldn't be set, the player would be pushed away from tile 152 (the tile that temporarily comes into place of the note block).
$7E1403	1 byte	Misc.	Settings for current layer 3 tide. #$00 - Not a tide image #$01 - Water level changes #$02 - Water level doesn't change
$7E1404	1 byte	Flag	If "vertical scroll at will" is enabled, then this flag controls if the screen should scroll up to the player. If you set this to a non-zero value every frame, it can be seen as a temporary alternative to setting $00:F878/0x7A78 to #$80, since the latter is permanent.
$7E1405	1 byte	Flag	Indicates that the player is just about to warp to another level via a pipe, and whether or not Yoshi should be drawn at that point. It is set as soon as $7E:0088 reaches zero, and if Yoshi is inside the warp pipe too, his graphics will be hidden.
$7E1406	1 byte	Camera	This is set to #$80 if you bounce off of a springboard or a purple triangle (while on Yoshi, that is), and is cleared when touching the ground. The game uses this, along with some other RAM addresses, to determine if the screen should scroll up with the player or not.
$7E1407	1 byte	Player	Player flying with cape phase. Controls player pose as well (table at $00:CE79).	Valid Values
$7E1408	1 byte	Player	Used to index the cape gliding table at $00:D7D4 to see what the next step should be in the cape gliding phase. That value is (eventually) stored in $7E:1407. #$00 = Make player rise. #$01 = Make player sink (eventually swoop down). #$02 = Holding off left/right button, make player sink, but not swoop down. #$03 = Holding off left/right button, swooping down, make player sink less. #$04 = Holding off left/right and X/Y buttons, terminate cape gliding.
$7E1409	1 byte	Player	Keeps track of the furthest stage the player has been diving during flight. Possible values are: #$F8: the stage when not holding the right or left button #$F4: Partially aiming towards floor #$F0: Almost completely diving #$C8: Diving completely, the stage where you cause an earthquake where you land. When set to #$C8, the player will gain the large upwards boost (instead of the little normal boost) when cathing air.
$7E140A	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and during part of the cape flight routine.
$7E140B	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load, cutscene load and level load.
$7E140D	1 byte	Flag	Spin Jump flag. #$00 = normal jump (or on ground); any other value = spinjumping.
$7E140E	1 byte	Sprites	Layer 2 is touched flag, which is used in the Layer 2 sinking/rising upon touch scroll sprite. #$00 = Layer 2 not touched; #$01 = Layer 2 touched.
$7E140F	1 byte	Flag	Keeps incrementing in the Reznor battle room. It is used as a flag to determine that a different OAM index needs to be used for a smoke sprite or a puff of smoke, to make sure there's no conflict with the platform tiles. However, since this keeps incrementing and thus sometimes hits #$00 again, it can occur that a platform tile disappears for one frame when a smoke sprite is shown.
$7E1410	1 byte	Flag	Yoshi has wings flag #1 (the other is $7E:141E). #$01 would mean that the player with a fire flower powerup can shoot fireballs while on Yoshi (never occurs in the game), whereas #$02 indicates Yoshi has wings. Note that this one only handles graphics of the wings (value #$02), and that it disables the Yoshi tongue action (value #$01). The value from $7E:141E is stored here each frame.
$7E1411	1 byte	Flag	Horizontal scroll settings from header flag. #$00 = Disable; #$01 = Enable.
$7E1412	1 byte	Misc.	Vertical scroll settings from header. #$00 = Disable; #$01 = Enable; #$02 = Enable if flying/climbing/etc.
$7E1413	1 byte	Misc.	Horizontal scroll setting for Layer 2. #$00 = none; #$01 = constant; #$02 = variable.
$7E1414	1 byte	Misc.	Vertical scroll setting for Layer 2. Lunar Magic v3.00 and above add values 04-07; the original game and older versions only allow 00-03.	Valid Values
$7E1415	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load.
$7E1417	2 bytes	Camera	The base vertical offset of Layer 2 from Layer 1, when vertical scrolling is enabled for it. This is calculated based on the type of vertical scrolling set in $1414, using the initial FG/BG positions stored to $1C and $20: If $1414 is #$01 (constant), then this is: $20 - $1C If $1414 is #$02 (variable), then this is: $20 - ($1C / 2) If $1414 is #$03 (slow), then this is: $20 - ($1C / 8)
$7E1417	2 bytes	Camera	The distance to scroll layer 2 vertically if that kind of scrolling is enabled. This is calculated based on the type of vertical scrolling set in $7E:1414. The scrolling is calculated as follows: If $7E:1414 is #$01 (constant), then $7E:1417 is: $7E:0020-$7E:001C If $7E:1414 is #$02 (variable), then $7E:1417 is: $7E:001C >> 1 ^ #$FFFF + 1 + $7E:0020 If $7E:1414 is #$03 (slow), then $7E:1417 is: $7E:001C >> 3 ^ #$FFFF + 1 + $7E:0020
$7E1419	1 byte	Yoshi	How Yoshi should go inside a pipe. #$01 = Duck a little (horizontal pipe). #$02 = Face the screen (vertical pipe). #$FF = Don't change image, only go behind layer (shooting out of slanted pipe). Note that this will probably work with all values #$03-#$FF. An immediate effect of this is that Yoshi goes beyond layer 1 with any non-zero value. Also, Yoshi's tongue isn't shown either. This is still set even if the player isn't mounted on Yoshi, it also affects the position of carrying sprites through pipes.
$7E141A	1 byte	Counter	Counter that increments every time a new level is entered (with a door or pipe) - this enables you to distinguish the 'mother'-level from sublevels, as this always is zero at the start of a level. Note: Don't enter a sublevel within a level 256 times, or a glitch will occur.
$7E141B	1 byte	Flag	Determines if you have played the bonus game before in the same level before. If it is non-zero (meaning you've played the game before), all blocks in the coin game will always be incorrect. Note that if you don't hit a single block the first time playing the game, then this will be zero, and you can play the game again.
$7E141C	1 byte	Flag	What type of goal tape has just been hit, for deciding which event to activate after the goal walk is finished. Although this value will still be written in vertical levels, it has no effect due to the goal walk not occurring.	Valid Values
$7E141D	1 byte	Flag	Whether "Mario/Luigi Start!" should be shown or not. Used for castle entrances and the likes. #$00 = enable; #$01 = disable.
$7E141E	1 byte	Yoshi	Yoshi has wings flag. The only possible value for this address in the original is #$02, but setting to #$01 will allow the player to throw fireballs if on Yoshi, even if he is not fiery. This will, however, disable flight as well as Yoshi's tongue attack. It's recalculated each frame.
$7E141F	1 byte	Flag	Disable No Yoshi Intro flag. #$00 = regular behavior (depending on the tileset, the No Yoshi Intro is either shown or not). #$80 = the No Yoshi Intro is disabled, regardless of tileset.
$7E1420	1 byte	Counter	Yoshi Coins collected. Does not affect amount of Yoshi Coins on status bar.
$7E1421	1 byte	Counter	Counter used by the invisible 1-Up checkpoints. Starts at zero, and increments with one every time the next checkpoint has been touched. Resets to zero when a checkpoint has been touched that can't be checked yet, for example checkpoint #2 when #1 hasn't been touched yet.
$7E1422	1 byte	Counter	Amount of Yoshi Coins to display on the status bar. Values #$01 through #$04 are the values where it will display that number of Yoshi Coins, otherwise none are displayed.
$7E1423	1 byte	Misc.	Indicates which switch palace switch is being pressed. Its value also varies depending on which side of the switch was pressed. (Left side -> it uses the first value, right side -> it uses the second.) 01/02 = green, 05/06 = yellow, 09/0A = blue, 0D/0E = red. The bottom halves also set this, but this doesn't trigger anything.
$7E1424	1 byte	Timer	Used to determine whether or not the victory walk should display the number of collected bonus stars. If it is zero (see also $7E:1900), the amount of collected bonus stars is not displayed. Otherwise, it is. $7E:1900 is stored to it, causing this address to decrement as well. Also note that this value does NOT have any effect on the rest of the bonus text.
$7E1425	1 byte	Flag	Bonus game flag. If anything non-zero, the bonus game will commence after the level has been cleared.
$7E1426	1 byte	Misc.	Message box trigger. #$00 = none; #$01 = message 1; #$02 = message 2; #$03 = Yoshi thanks message.
$7E1427	1 byte	Misc.	Bowser clown car image. #$00 = Regular. #$01 = Blinking. #$02 = Hurt. #$03 = Angry face. Higher values makes it cycle through the above ones.
$7E1428	1 byte	Sprites	Used as an index for the frames of the Bowser propeller. Valid frames range from #$00-#$03.
$7E1429	1 byte	Sprites	Used to calculate which palette to use for Bowser. Valid values range from #$00-#$07. This value is calculated based on the Mode 7 scale factor, with the table at $03:A265.
$7E142A	2 bytes	Player	Where the player has to be on the screen in order to justify moving the screen. If the player X position relative to the screen is less than $142A - #$000C, then the screen will move left. If the player X position relative to the screen is greater than or equal to $142A + #$000C, the screen will move right.
$7E142C	4 bytes	Camera	Two 16-bit addresses, $142C and $142E, are set to $142A - #$000C and $142A + #$000C respectively during the screen-scrolling routine, read from to determine whether or not to scroll the screen.
$7E1430	1 byte	Blocks	Lowest tile that's solid for sprites from below (in addition to 111 through 16D). It's on page 1.
$7E1431	1 byte	Blocks	Highest tile that's solid for sprites from below (in addition to 111 through 16D) plus 1. It's on page 1.
$7E1432	1 byte	Flag	Directional coin activation flag. This is set to #$01 when the sprite changes the music, and it is used to prevent the player being able to spawn any more than one instance of the sprite in an entire level, as it carries across sublevels.
$7E1433	1 byte	Timer	Scaling factor of the circle for the windowing HDMA effects used with the titlescreen, level ending and keyhole. The closer to zero, the smaller the circle. Loads titlescreen when value becomes #$F0 or higher.
$7E1434	1 byte	Timer	Set to #$30 to end level via keyhole. Works as a timer of some sorts, to indicate how long the keyhole sequence should last - but in SMW, this value is never set to anything other than #$00 or #$30. Also, this address freezes player and sprites by storing its value to $7E:13FB, resp. $7E:009D.
$7E1435	1 byte	Flag	Keyhole growing/shrinking flag. #$00 = growing; #$01 = shrinking.
$7E1436	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. Keyholes use it as the X position of the keyhole animation. The Iggy/Larry boss fight uses it to control the player's X position when on the ground. The overworld also uses it when spawning switch palace blocks. $1436 is used as the current base index to the tables at $7EB900; it increments by 0x08 with each set of blocks up to 0x28, at which point it resets to 0x00. $1437 is used as a timer for waiting between spawning each set of switch blocks.
$7E1438	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. Keyholes use it as the Y position of the keyhole animation. The Iggy/Larry boss fight uses it to control the player's Y position when on the ground. The overworld also uses it when spawning switch palace blocks. $1438 is the base OAM index of the current block set. Increments by 0x20 with each set of blocks, then resets to 0x00 once it reaches 0xA0. $1439 is a counter for how many sets of blocks have been spawned. It stops spawning at 0x08, but keeps counting up to 0x0C, at which point the spawn routine ends.
$7E143A	1 byte	Flag	When set to a value that is not zero, this will make the game overwrite tiles #$00 through #$05, #$10 through #$15, #$4A through #$4F and #$5A through #$5F with data it gets from $7F:977B-$7F:9A7A. These are uploaded during V-blank (NMI). Is used to write the graphics for "MARIO START!", "LUIGI START!", "TIME UP!", "GAME OVER" and "BONUS GAME".
$7E143B	1 byte	Misc.	Which death message must be displayed. #$14 = "GAME OVER"; #$1D = "TIME UP!".
$7E143C	1 byte	Timer	Death message animation timer. Amount of time until the two segments come together, such as with "GAME OVER", where the animation goes like this: GAME --> <-- OVER. Is set to #$C0, decrements by four at a time.
$7E143D	1 byte	Timer	Timer for the "TIME UP!"/"GAME OVER" death message - how long it should stay active after the two words have come together. Is set to #$FF, decrements by one at a time.
$7E143E	1 byte	Sprites	Scroll command number. Also used during castle cutscenes. Iggy/Ludwig/Roy use it to indicate the switch was hit, Wendy uses it to indicate when the castle is fully erased, and Morton/Lemmy/Larry use it for deciding how to move the castle.	Valid Values
$7E143F	1 byte	Sprites	Scroll command number used on layer 2. This address serves as a complement to $7E:143E. This address is set by the init routine of the layer one of each scroll address. Also used during castle destruction cutscenes as a timer for animations, as well as a few miscellaneous wait timers.
$7E1440	1 byte	Sprites	The starting Y-position of the current scroll sprite, left-shifted twice and with the extra bits still added. (Format: --YYYYEE, where Y = Y position and EE = extra bits). Regularly adjusted inside the scroll sprites. It can be particularly useful for determining what type of scrolling should be applied with this scroll sprite. This address is used for Layer 1 scrolling. Also used during the castle destruction cutscenes as a frame number for various animations.
$7E1441	1 byte	Sprites	The starting Y-position of the current scroll sprite, left-shifted twice and with the extra bits still added. (Format: --YYYYEE, where Y = Y position and EE = extra bits). Regularly adjusted inside the scroll sprites. It can be particularly useful for determining what type of scrolling should be applied with this scroll sprite. This address is used for Layer 2 scrolling. Also used during Iggy, Ludwig, and Roy's castle destruction scenes as a timer for the explosion.
$7E1442	1 byte	Misc.	Various flags used in the Yoshi's House portion of the credits scene. Used values: #$00 = Player and companion walks in #$01 = Various Yoshis duck and watch in excitement. #$02 = Eggs are shattering, one by one. #$03 = Yoshis get up and "THANK YOU" appears on Yoshi's house. #$04 = Yoshis jump in excitement, then screen fades out. 24-bit pointers for these actions are located at SNES $0C:A1DE. Also used in the castle destruction sequence as a pointer to what actions should be taken. Each castle destruction has its own pointer table for this address. $0C:C9A5 is a pointer table which points the the pointer tables of each castle. Used in scroll sprites for tracking what type of scroll it is currently doing, usually depending on $7E:1440/$7E:1441. This is the Layer 1 counterpart of $7E:1443.	Castle Sequences Actions
$7E1443	1 byte	Sprites	Used in scroll sprites for tracking what type of scroll it is currently doing, usually depending on $7E:1440/$7E:1441. This is the Layer 2 counterpart of $7E:1442. It's also a castle destruction sequence text timer. Starts at #$FF when the 'Welcome' music starts, and a new line of text appears every #$20 frames after that. (#$DF, #$BF, #$9F, etc.)
$7E1444	1 byte	Misc.	Layer 1 scroll command pointer/timer. This timer serves no defined purpose on itself, but is generally used for waiting a specific number of frames before updating scroll properties such as speed. For example, with the Layer 1 auto-scroll, this value being #$00 indicates the auto-scroll has finished. Also used during the castle destruction scenes as an indicator to show the white surrender flag. Also used as a flag on the overworld to indicate if the player is on a level tile. Value is #$00 when on a path tile, and #$01 when on a level tile.
$7E1445	1 byte	Sprites	Layer 2 scroll command pointer/timer. This timer serves no defined purpose on itself, but is generally used for waiting a specific number of frames before updating scroll properties such as speed. Also used during the castle destruction cutscenes for various purposes. Lemmy uses it as a timer for the hammer animation, Ludwig and Roy uses it as a counter for the ? marks (0-3 for Roy and 4-7 for Ludwig), and Wendy uses it to decide how the broom should move.
$7E1446	2 bytes	Sprites	Layer 1 X speed used in the scrolling codes. #$0001-#$7FFF = move left; #$8000-#$FFFF = move right. #$0000 means there is no movement. Effectively, it's the X speed to give the player when he's touching the side of a screen, during a level which does not have regular Layer 1 scrolling. Values are different depending on the type of (auto-)scroll. This value divided by #$10/#16 is stored into $7E:007B. Additionally used during the castle destruction cutscenes for various purposes. $1446 is used in Morton/Roy's scenes to show the huff cloud at the end and as the Y position of the broom in Wendy's scene. $1447 is used in Ludwig's scene as the vertical speed of the castle as well as a counter for the dust animation when it hits the hill, and in Larry's as the vertical speed of the castle as well as a timer for when it crashes.
$7E1448	2 bytes	Sprites	Layer 1 Y speed used in the scrolling codes. #$0001-#$7FFF = move upwards; #$8000-#$FFFF = move downwards. #$0000 means there is no movement. $1449 specifically is also used as a timer in Wendy's castle destruction scene for pausing between shifting broom directions or moving Mario to the side.
$7E144A	2 bytes	Sprites	Layer 2 X speed used in the scrolling codes. #$0001-#$7FFF = move left; #$8000-#$FFFF = move right. #$0000 means there is no movement. $144A specifically is also used in the castle destruction cutscenes to indicate what sprite Mario is holding, if any, 00 indicates the egg, 01 indicates nothing, and anything greater indicates something else (e.g. the hammer or broom).
$7E144C	2 bytes	Sprites	Layer 2 Y speed used in the scrolling codes, particularly in the Layer 2 scroll command (sprite EA). #$0001-#$7FFF = move upwards; #$8000-#$FFFF = move downwards. #$0000 means there is no movement. $7E:144D also controls the time until you can press a button to end the castle destruction sequence (after all text has been generated on-screen).
$7E144E	2 bytes	Sprites	This is used internally by the scroll sprites for updating the layer 1 X position. In particular, the routine at $05:C4F9 uses it to add the current speed to. Furthermore, $7E:144E is used on the overworld to determine after how many frames the player should face the screen again after settling on a level tile. $7E:144E is also used in the credits, as a timer that is set to #$06 and decrements every frame. If this is zero, bit 0 of $7E:144F will get flipped, causing Peach's image during the walking phase to bounce. $7E:144F is a flag that makes Peach bounce during the time she walks in the credits. #$00 = Peach frame 1, upright; #$01 = Peach frame 2, one pixel lower.
$7E1450	2 bytes	Sprites	This is used internally by the scroll sprites for updating the layer 1 Y position. In particular, the routine at $05:C4F9 uses it to add the current speed to.
$7E1452	2 bytes	Sprites	This is used internally by the scroll sprites for updating the layer 2 X position. In particular, the routine at $05:C4F9 uses it to add the current speed to.
$7E1454	2 bytes	Sprites	This is used internally by the scroll sprites for updating the layer 2 Y position. In particular, the routine at $05:C4F9 uses it to add the current speed to.
$7E1456	1 byte	Sprites	Used by the scroll sprites as an index for what layer to process. #$00 is Layer 1, and #$04 is Layer 2. The RAM addresses indexed include the entire area of $7E:1446-$7E:1455.
$7E1457	1 byte	Flag	This flag is set and used to determine whether to upload the multicolor Yoshis in the ending cutscene. The surprised Yoshi image (when the eggs are hatching) will appear regardless of this address, but the jumping Yoshi images require this flag to be #$01. If anything else, they will not be drawn on-screen.
$7E1458	2 bytes	Misc.	Used in the Layer 3 images to control the X speed of Layer 3. This address is primarily used for the tileset specific images (not #$01 or #$03), for example the goldfish and the ghost house fog.
$7E145A	2 bytes	Misc.	Used in the Layer 3 images to control the Y speed of Layer 3. This address is used primarily for the rising/falling Layer 3 tide.
$7E145C	2 bytes	Misc.	This is used internally by Layer 3 images for updating the Layer 3 X position, which is used in (for example) the goldfish and ghost house fog. It's also used as accumulating fraction bits for the Layer 3 Y speed during the rising/sinking Layer 3 tide. $7E:145D is also used as a timer to determine when to move to the next game mode after the Yoshi house credits scene. Is set to #$F0 the moment all eggs hatched.
$7E145E	2 bytes	Misc.	Used by Lunar Magic to hold various settings, mainly related to Layer 3: $145E: yyyyyose - yyyyy: Initial Layer 3 Y position. Equal to the value shown in the "Initial Y Position/Offset" box divided by 2. - o: Make sprites beyond level boundaries interact with air instead of water. - s: Enable Layer 3 scroll sync fix. - e: Enable advanced Layer 3 bypass settings. $145F: yyyyxxxx - yyyy: Vertical Layer 3 scroll setting. - xxxx: Horizontal Layer 3 scroll setting. Empty in original game. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load.
$7E1460	1 byte	Misc.	Layer 3 vertical scrolling direction. #$00 = downwards; #$01 = upwards. Also used by Lunar Magic when a level is set for auto layer 3 vertical scrolling, in which case it combines with $7E:1461 to hold Y accumulation bits.
$7E1461	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load. This byte functions as the "high byte" of $7E:1460. SMW does not actually use this byte, however it is overwritten during level load (see $05:BE92). Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld, level (with the exception of boss rooms) and cutscene load.
$7E1462	2 bytes	Misc.	Layer 1 X position, next frame. Much similar to $7E:001A, maintaining the exact same values, with the difference being the usage of their values. This is more notable in auto-scroll commands, for example, if $7E:1462 were to remain static while there was a Layer 2 auto-scroll going, the image would stay, but the level would move. Is also used for temporary storage to determine how much the screen has moved horizontally in the current frame. ($7E:001A - $7E:1462 = $7E:17BD)
$7E1464	2 bytes	Misc.	Layer 1 Y position, next frame. Much similar to $7E:001C. Is also used for temporary storage to determine how much the screen has moved vertically in the current frame. ($7E:001C - $7E:1464 = $7E:17BC)
$7E1466	2 bytes	Misc.	Layer 2 X position, next frame. Much similar to $7E:001E. Is also used for temporary storage to determine how much the screen has moved horizontally in the current frame. ($7E:001E - $7E:1466 = $7E:17BF)
$7E1468	2 bytes	Misc.	Layer 2 Y position, next frame. Much similar to $7E:0020. Is also used for temporary storage to determine how much Layer 2 has moved vertically in the current frame. ($7E:0020 - $7E:1468 = $7E:17BE)
$7E146A	2 bytes	Misc.	Used to determine how much layer 3 has moved horizontally in the current frame. This address is only used during the credits while displaying the enemies for the windowing HDMA. Also used by Lunar Magic to hold the Layer 3 Initial X position/offset.
$7E146C	4 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load.
$7E1470	1 byte	Flag	Carrying something flag. Very similar to $7E:148F, with the difference that, if this flag is set, the player's graphics don't change, and throw blocks can still be picked up as long as $7E:148F remains zero. If used in a carryable custom sprite to check if the player is already carrying something, definitely combine it with $7E:148F to assure there are no exceptions. #$00 = Carrying nothing; #$01 = carrying something.
$7E1471	1 byte	Misc.	Whether the player is on top of a solid sprite, and what kind of sprite that is. #$01 = Standing on top of a floating rock, floating grass platform, floating skull, Mega Mole, carrot top lift, etc. This one calculates the player's position based on the next frame. #$02 = Standing on top of a springboard, pea bouncer. This one calculates the player's position based on the next frame. There's a check at $00:D60B so that the player can hold the jump button pressed for a longer while to jump higher. #$03 = Standing on top of a brown chained platform, gray falling platform. This one calculates the player's position based on the current frame.
$7E1472	1 byte	Sprites	Left window X position of the top of the spotlight. It's always #$78. This is the value stored that is stored to $7E:147A every four frames.
$7E1473	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1474	1 byte	Sprites	Right window X position of the top of the spotlight. It's always #$87. This is the value that is stored to $7E:147C every four frames.
$7E1475	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1476	1 byte	Sprites	Left window X position of the extreme bottom of the spotlight. Please note that this position is for the imaginary scanline #$FF, whereas there are normally only #$E0 scanlines on a screen. That means that the value here is never equal to the left window X position on the very bottom of the screen, unless $7E:1476 is equal to $7E:1472, forming a straight vertical line.
$7E1477	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1478	1 byte	Sprites	Right window X position of the extreme bottom of the spotlight. Please note that this position is for the imaginary scanline #$FF, whereas there are normally only #$E0 scanlines on a screen. That means that the value here is never equal to the right window X position on the very bottom of the screen, unless $7E:1478 is equal to $7E:1474, forming a straight vertical line.
$7E1479	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E147A	1 byte	Sprites	In the spotlight code, the left window X position of each scanline is calculated and temporarily stored here, after which this address stores its value to an even byte of $7E:04A0. What is left at the end of every frame is the left window X position on the very bottom scanline. This is used once in every four frames, probably to reduce lag.
$7E147B	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E147C	1 byte	Sprites	In the spotlight code, the right window X position of each scanline is calculated and temporarily stored here, after which this address stores its value to an odd byte of $7E:04A0. What is left at the end of every frame is the right window X position on the very bottom scanline. This address used once in every four frames, probably to reduce lag.
$7E147D	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E147E	1 byte	Sprites	Used by the spotlight to calculate whether or not to move the left window on a particular scan line into the direction of the resulting X position on the bottom left. It works by adding the width from $7E:1480 to itself (starting at #$00 initially), and if the resulting value is higher than #$CF (or even overflows, setting the carry bit), the left window moves a pixel into the direction of the resulting X position on the bottom left.
$7E147F	1 byte	Sprites	Used by the spotlight to calculate whether or not to move the right window on a particular scan line into the direction of the resulting X position on the bottom right. It works by adding the width from $7E:1481 to itself (starting at #$00 initially), and if the resulting value is higher than #$CF (or even overflows, setting the carry bit), the right window moves a pixel into the direction of the resulting X position on the bottom right.
$7E1480	1 byte	Sprites	Width between the top left window ($7E:1472) and the bottom left window ($7E:1476) of the spotlight. This value is always positive, and its sign flag is saved at $7E:1484.
$7E1481	1 byte	Sprites	Width between the top right window ($7E:1474) and the bottom right window ($7E:1478) of the spotlight. This value is always positive, and its sign flag is saved at $7E:1485.
$7E1482	1 byte	Flag	Used as a flag in the spotlight code to skip initialization of the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right RAM addresses. #$00 = Run initialization; #$01 = Do not run initialization.
$7E1483	1 byte	Sprites	Used as a flag for the current direction the spotlight is moving. #$00 = spotlight is moving right; #$01 = spotlight is moving left.
$7E1484	1 byte	Sprites	A flag used in the spotlight code to determine which side of the top left window border the bottom left window border is on. #$00 = bottom left is more to the left; #$01 = bottom left is on the same position, or more to the right.
$7E1485	1 byte	Sprites	A flag used in the spotlight code to determine which side of the top right window border the bottom right window border is on. #$00 = bottom right is more to the left; #$01 = bottom right is on the same position, or more to the right.
$7E1486	1 byte	Sprites	Unused, set to #$01 in the dark room spotlight sprite. Change $03:C544 to EA EA EA (NOP #3) to change this into free RAM. If that patch is performed, this address is safe for other uses. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load.
$7E1487	4 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E148B	2 bytes	Misc.	Used by random number generation subroutine to determine the next output. Do not use these if you want a random number. Use $7E:148D instead.
$7E148D	2 bytes	Misc.	Output of random number generation routine, located at $01:ACF9.
$7E148F	1 byte	Player	Flag used to detect if the player is holding an object (throw block, key, shell, etc.) Also adjusts the player image, different from $7E:1470. This address does store its value to $7E:1470. If the player is carrying something, this address should usually (not always, regarding the glitch) prevent the player from holding a second item. #$00 = Carrying nothing; #$01 = carrying something.
$7E1490	1 byte	Timer	Star power timer. Decrements every fourth frame, except when lock flag ($9D) AND while the freezable frame counter ($14) has a value divisible by 4, will decrement each frame (assuming it's a glitch). The music will revert when this timer reaches #$1E.
$7E1491	1 byte	Sprites	Amount of pixels on the X/Y axis a sprite has moved in the current frame. It is set after every call to update sprite position based on speed, and the routine that updates both X/Y position based on speed will leave $7E:1491 with the movement on the X axis in this address. Very often used for rideable sprites as this address can be added to the player position to move the player in tandem with the sprite.
$7E1492	1 byte	Timer	Player peace image timer.
$7E1493	1 byte	Timer	End level timer. Setting to #$FF will end the level as a goal sphere / boss fight (use in conjunction with $7E13C6). Peace sign is shown here when the timer hits #$28. The switches (yellow, green, red and blue) set it to #$08.
$7E1494	1 byte	Palettes	Direction of the color fading at level end. Only the highest bit is ever read. #$00 = getting darker; #$80 = getting brighter.
$7E1495	1 byte	Timer	Timer that controls fading and the level end scorecard. Increments and stops when it hits #$40. While it's ticking, the colors will fade; when it's done, $7E:003A through $7E:003D won't be read and the Layer 3 scrolling will be locked.
$7E1496	1 byte	Timer	Player animation timer. This controls a lot of things such as the walking/running animation rate, how long the death animation should last, how long to stay invisible for after getting the cape, the alternating player images when the player is walking over slippery surfaces, etc.
$7E1497	1 byte	Timer	Flashing invulnerability timer - not to be confused with the star timer. This is activated when the player gets hurt. Controls both interaction (player should not interact with sprites again) as well as the blinking graphics.
$7E1498	1 byte	Timer	Time to show player picking an item/object up pose.
$7E1499	1 byte	Timer	Time for player to face the screen. Normally, only set while Mario is Mario is turning with an item or entering a vertical pipe.
$7E149A	1 byte	Timer	Time to show player kicking something pose.
$7E149B	1 byte	Timer	Time for the player to change through palettes, as if he got a fire flower. Only ticks when the "get flower" animation is active, and is just a flag otherwise.
$7E149C	1 byte	Timer	Time to show player shooting a fireball pose.
$7E149D	1 byte	Timer	Side flipping climbing net sprite flag and timer. Whenever you punch the flipping net, this gets set to #$1E and decrements every frame till it's zero. That's how many frames the spinning animation lasts. It also determines the X speed the player has while he's on the climbing net sprite - this means that it should be decremented every frame in order to avoid issues.
$7E149E	1 byte	Timer	Player punches while climbing on a net flag and timer. Every time you punch a net this is set to #$08 and decremented till it's zero again. During the time it's not zero, the frame is displayed that shows the player punching the net. If you store #$08 or greater to it every frame you'll be hold onto the net without being able to move or get off. When this RAM address is non-zero, the player can also not move.
$7E149F	1 byte	Timer	This timer controls the time until the player gets into gliding/sinking mode after he has jumped into the air with a cape. Is set to #$50 the moment you get airborne, and decrements every frame afterwards. The ability of raising any further stops at #$00. Note that this doesn't reset when going into another sublevel, allowing the player to "carry over" flying if the player is spawn in midair (or jump immediately when placed on ground) and maintains holding dash.
$7E14A0	1 byte	Timer	How long the running frames should be shown after the player launches off with the cape. Is #$10 by default and decrements each frame.
$7E14A1	1 byte	Timer	Player slides a bit when turning around timer. Most notably used with very steep slopes. If this is non-zero, $7E:13DD's image (#$0D) won't be shown.
$7E14A2	1 byte	Timer	Used as a timer for the cape animation. This is what makes the cape wave when the player walks and what makes the cape fall when he stops.
$7E14A3	1 byte	Timer	A timer for Yoshi's tongue stretching out. #$12 = Yoshi about to stretch out tongue (timer starts here), player pose #$27. #$10 = $7E:18AE is set to #$06. #$0C = Player now gets a different pose, #$28. #$00 = Player now gets a different pose, #$20 (or #$21 if turning around, $7E:187A is used to determine that).
$7E14A4	1 byte	Timer	Time until the player advances a diving stage, while flying and holding forward, and time until the player pulls back up a stage, while flying and holding backward.
$7E14A5	1 byte	Timer	Timer for how long you keep floating after releasing B when floating with the cape.
$7E14A6	1 byte	Player	Cape spin timer.
$7E14A7	1 byte	Timer	Timer for breaking the bridge in Reznor battles. It is set to #$40 and decrements each frame. When it reaches #$3C, a tile on each side breaks. When it drops to #$00, a sound is played and it's reset to #$40 again.
$7E14A8	3 bytes	Misc.	Unused. $7E:14A8 decrements every frame automatically until it reaches zero, while $7E:14A9 and $7E:14AA decrement every fourth frame. $7E:14A9 is cleared when the player ground pounds with the cape (this can be prevented by setting $02:94C6 to NOP #3 or [EA EA EA]), and $7E:14AA is set to #$40 when Yoshi grabs the wings (this can be stopped by setting $01:F6CF to NOP #3 or [EA EA EA]).
$7E14AB	1 byte	Timer	Bonus game ending timer. Does nothing in a normal level, but during a bonus game, setting it will end the bonus game and return to the overworld. At #$44 it starts the "end bonus game" music, and at #$01 it actually fades to the overworld.
$7E14AC	1 byte	Empty	Empty. However, due to the code at $00:C563 and $00:C513, it decrements every fourth frame until it hits zero.
$7E14AD	1 byte	Timer	Blue P-Switch timer. Decrements every fourth frame. The P-switch running out sound is played when this hits #$1E.
$7E14AE	1 byte	Timer	Silver P-Switch timer. Decrements every fourth frame. The P-switch running out sound is played when this hits #$1E.
$7E14AF	1 byte	Flag	On/Off Switch value. #$00 is ON and all others (non-zero, i.e. #$01-#$FF) are OFF.
$7E14B0	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address forms the center X position of the brown chained platform that is currently processed. The formula for this address = $7E:14B4 - $7E:14BC. Additionally, the Lakitu cloud graphics routine uses $7E:14B0 as scratch RAM for the X position of a tile. $7E:14B0 is furthermore used in the Bowser battle as a timer between his various attacks. Set to #$78 at the beginning, and between attacks afterwards it is set to #$54 each time. Note that, whether he throws the Mechakoopas or not, does not only depend on this address! And finally, $7E:14B1 is a timer that is set to #$FF when Bowser begins with the Mechakoopa attack. Note that the Mechakoopas are thrown when this timer is at #$80.
$7E14B2	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address forms the center Y position of the brown chained platform that is currently processed. Note that, since the radius based on the sprite Y position is always zero, this holds the same value as $7E:14B6. The formula for this address = $7E:14B6 - $7E:14BF. Additionally, the Lakitu cloud graphics routine uses $7E:14B2 as scratch RAM for the Y position of a tile. $7E:14B2 is also a flag for scaling when Bowser is flying away. #$00 = shrinking; #$01 = growing; #$02 = disappear. And finally, $7E:14B3 is an incrementing index to the Y position for the teardrop tile that appears on the Clown Car when Bowser is hurt.
$7E14B4	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address is the X position of the brown chained platform sprite at cos a = 1. It is in fact a mirror of the sprite X position, which always stays the same. By subtracting the horizontal radius ($7E:14BC) from this address, the center position to revolve around is calculated. The 16-bit address is also used to determine Iggy/Larry interactive X position, as well as the player's fireball X position during this boss battle. $7E:14B4 is used in the Bowser battle as an index to what music should be played in phase 2 and 3. It only appears to have these values after written to: #$07 = Use track #$19. #$08 = Use track #$1A. Both tracks are identical. Perhaps this seperation was intended to be used so that a different track played on each phase. And finally, $7E:14B5 is a timer for Bowser's hurt state. If non-zero, Bowser will show his hurt pose.
$7E14B6	2 bytes	Sprites	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address is the Y position of the brown chained platform sprite at sin a = 0. It is in fact a mirror of the sprite Y position, which always stays the same. By subtracting the horizontal radius ($7E:14BF) from this address, the center position to revolve around is calculated. Since $7E:14BF is always zero, the center position and this address always have the same identical value. The 16-bit address is also used to determine Iggy/Larry interactive Y position, as well as the player's fireball Y position during this boss battle. $7E:14B6 is also a timer that is set to #$FF when Bowser begins with the Big Steelie attack. Note that the Big Steelie is thrown when this timer is at #$80. And finally, $7E:14B7 holds the X position of each new fireball that falls from the sky in the Bowser battle, as well as the index to the sound effects that are generated with them (table at $03:A841).
$7E14B8	2 bytes	Misc.	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address is the X position of the first (outermost) chain tile of the brown chained platform currently being processed. This address is responsible for the actual movement of the platform and interaction with the player. $7E:14B8 itself seems to form a buffer for the X position of Iggy/Larry during that boss battle, much similar to $7E:14B4. Lastly, $7E:14B8 is an attack counter used in the second phase of the Bowser battle to determine if Bowser should throw Mechakoopas or Big Steelies. It increments on every throw, on #$02 Mechakoopas are thrown, and on #$03 it resets to #$00.
$7E14BA	2 bytes	Sprites	Used for multiple purposes. The 16-bit address is the Y position of the first (outermost) chain tile of the brown chained platform currently being processed. This address is responsible for the actual movement of the platform and interaction with the player. $7E:14BA itself seems to form a buffer for the Y position of Iggy/Larry during that boss battle, much similar to $7E:14B6.
$7E14BC	2 bytes	Sprites	Radius of the rotating brown platform, by default this value is #$50 (found at $01:CACC). This value is subtracted from $7E:14B4 and stored into $7E:14B0. In SMW however, the value is always #$50. Additionally, the high byte is always #$00. Note that this radius depends on sprite X position (which stays the same). It calculates the center position of the imaginary circle you rotate around from that position. The further you increment the radius, the further you will have to move the sprite to the right in order for the center position to be the same. See also $7E:14BF.
$7E14BE	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and cutscene load.
$7E14BF	2 bytes	Sprites	Another type of radius that would rely on the brown chained platform's Y position, except that it's always #$0000, and thus effectively it does nothing. Subtracted from $7E:14B6 and stored into $7E:14B2. See also $7E:14BC.
$7E14C1	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld and cutscene load.
$7E14C2	2 bytes	Sprites	Used to hold the sine value of the brown rotating platform. Note that the range of this is always #$0000-#$0100. XOR isn't applied to this value when it is negative.
$7E14C4	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld and cutscene load.
$7E14C5	2 bytes	Sprites	Used to hold the cosine value of the brown rotating platform. Note that the range of this is always #$0000-#$0100. XOR isn't applied to this value when it is negative.
$7E14C7	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen, overworld and cutscene load.
$7E14C8	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite status table. States 08 and above are considered alive; sprites in other states are dead and should not be interacted with.	Valid Values
$7E14D4	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite Y position, high byte.
$7E14E0	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite X position, high byte.
$7E14EC	12 bytes	Sprites	Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point sprite Y speed.
$7E14F8	12 bytes	Sprites	Accumulating fraction bits for fixed point sprite X speed.
$7E1504	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In the original game, it's only used in the revolving brown platform and nowhere else. More information can be found here.
$7E1510	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In the original game, it's only used in the revolving brown platform and nowhere else. Unlike $1504 (and every other sprite table), it is also not cleared by the sprite table initialization routine. More information can be found here.
$7E151C	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In SMW, it's used for vertical directions, and Yoshi uses it to determine which sprite to spawn out of an egg. $7E:1520-$7E:1523 is a 'Reznor killed flag'. If a byte is set to #$01, the Reznor will disappear. Byte 1 is for Reznor 1, byte 2 for Reznor 2 and so on. More information can be found here.
$7E1528	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In SMW, it's used for Chargin' Chuck HP, Thwomp's face expression, etc. More information can be found here.
$7E1534	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. Certain powerups use this table as a blink-fall flag. #$00 = Off; #$01 = On, powerup will blink and fall straight down. The game stores #$01 here when it drops the reserved item from the item box. The blink-fall flag affects the Super Mushroom and the Fire Flower, but not the Cape Feather. The blink-fall flag also affects some other sprites, at least the Starman, the 1-Up mushroom and the coin sprite, but these sprites might glitch if you set the flag. One glitch is that the blinking sprite-coin permanently occupies a sprite slot if it falls off the level, so that it might prevent the spawning of other common sprites. Other than that, this address has many different purposes. More information can be found here.
$7E1540	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. Table decrements itself once per frame, except for carryable sprites, where it decrements every second frame (the code at $0196D7 “slows” the timer by 1/2 by incrementing it every even frames ($13), which results in a decrement every odd frames). Various sprites use this table as a stun timer. For example, this timer controls when flipped Goombas and squashed Mecha-Koopas decide to rise and walk. This table is also the sprite spinjump death frame counter - that is, how long to show the "spinjumped" image when the sprite is killed by a jump of such sorts. More information can be found here.

$7E1570	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In SMW, it's used as a frame counter for timed lifts (amount of frames until it hits zero), a frame counter that indicates when sprites #$00-#$13 that have the 'Follow player' flag set should turn, etc. More information can be found here.
$7E157C	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. It's most often used as a horizontal sprite direction table. #$00 = Right; #$01 = Left. More information can be found here.
$7E1588	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite blocked status table. Format: asb?udlr. a = touching Layer 2 from above. s = touching Layer 2 from the side. b = touching Layer 2 from below. ? = unknown, probably unused. u = up. d = down. l = left. r = right.
$7E1594	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In classic Piranha Plants, it is used to check if the sprite should be made visible and have interaction with the player. If it's any non-zero value, that Piranha Plant will become invisible. More information can be found here.
$7E15A0	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite off screen flag table, horizontal.
$7E15AC	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. It's often used as a timer to determine how long it takes to turn around. Table decrements itself once per frame. More information can be found here.

$7E15D0	12 bytes	Sprites	Flag for whether the sprite is on Yoshi's tongue. #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E15DC	12 bytes	Sprites	Flag to disable sprite interaction with objects. Ghost house ledge holes store their sprite index (plus one) to this to make sprites fall through the ground, but any non-zero value will work.
$7E15E8	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E15E9	1 byte	Sprites	Sprite index for the current sprite that is being processed.
$7E15EA	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite index to the OAM table.
$7E15F6	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite YXPPCCCT table. Many sprites use it in their graphics routines.
$7E1602	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. Often used as graphics pointer. More information can be found here.
$7E160E	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. In SMW, it is used to keep track of things such as the green bouncing Koopa's Y speed and the sprite number of certain spawned, kicked, etc. sprites. More information can be found here.

$7E163E	12 bytes	Sprites	Miscellaneous sprite table. Table decrements once per frame. In SMW, it's used as e.g. a timer that, when it's zero, makes Ludwig face the player, while he's spitting fireballs. More information can be found here.
$7E164A	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite is in liquid indicator table. #$00 = Sprite not in liquid; #$01 = Sprite in water; #$80 = Sprite in lava. Also used in the Morton/Roy battle as an indicator that the walls have to close in, and in Bowser's fight to indicate the music after Bowser is defeated has already started.

$7E1692	1 byte	Sprites	Sprite memory setting from header.
$7E1693	1 byte	Blocks	For the regular tiles in SMW, this holds the low byte of the Map16 number (Y contains the high byte). Within custom block code, this contains the low byte of the "acts like"/"act as" setting, Y has the high byte, and $03-$04 contain the actual Map16 number. This gets its value from a pointer to the Map16 tile table at $7E:C800 (Y gets its value from $7F:C800).

$7E186B	1 byte	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.
$7E1879	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E187A	1 byte	Yoshi	Riding Yoshi Flag. #$00 = No, #$01 = Yes, #$02 = Yes, and turning around.
$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.
$7E1887	1 byte	Timer	Time to shake Layer 1.
$7E1888	2 bytes	Misc.	Layer 1 image relative Y position, used by $7E:1887 (shaking ground). Does not affect Layer 1 interaction. #$0000 = default value, Layer 1's image unchanged. The higher the value (positive, #$0001 and beyond), the more Layer 1 goes up. The lower the value (negative, wraps around to #$FFFF and below) the more Layer 1 goes down.
$7E188A	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load, hurt, death, and taking hit while cape flying ($00:F625 for the last three) and in the Peach Rescued scene ($03:AE39).
$7E188B	1 byte	Player	Player image-relative Y position, used by $7E:1887 (shaking ground). Does not affect player interaction. Unlike $7E:1888, this is an 8-bit address.
$7E188C	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).
$7E188E	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load, cutscene load and level load.
$7E188F	1 byte	Sprites	Used to indicate whether the bonus game is over. It will disable the interaction and movement.
$7E1890	1 byte	Counter	How many 1-Ups to spawn. (Used for bonus game.)
$7E1891	1 byte	Timer	P-balloon timer. Ticks down one step per four frames. Note that setting this doesn't make the player fly away. The flight controller is $7E:13F3.
$7E1892	20 bytes	Sprites	Cluster sprite number. The pointer for those is at $02:F825. A list of possible values, as well as more information on cluster sprites in general, can be found here.	Valid Values
$7E18A6	1 byte	Empty	Empty, unused RAM. Referenced at $01CF9E (Morton's code) but never actually used. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18A7	1 byte	Blocks	This address is a mirror of $7E:1693, which holds the Map16 number of the current block that is being checked. Primarily used in the Chargin' Chuck turn/throw block detection code.
$7E18A8	2 bytes	Sprites	Morton and Roy left and right pillar status. $7E:18A8 controls the left pillar, whereas $7E:18A9 is used for the right pillar. #$00 = Pillar is not falling yet. #$01 = Pillar is falling. #$81 = Pillar has fallen.
$7E18AA	2 bytes	Sprites	Morton and Roy left and right pillar Y positions. $7E:18AA is the left pillar, $7E:18AB is the right pillar. The pillar status ($7E:18A8 and $7E:18A9) is set to #$81 (pillar has fallen) as soon as this Y position becomes #$B0. The Y speed here accelerates slightly - see $02:83F8 for reference.
$7E18AC	1 byte	Yoshi	Timer on when Yoshi will swallow the sprite in his mouth. It ticks down one step every fourth frame, and Yoshi's swallowing animation starts when this is #$26 or lower.
$7E18AD	1 byte	Yoshi	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	How long it takes for Yoshi's tongue to come out after the player "hits" Yoshi (after $7E:14A3 becomes #$10). Starts at #$06 and decrements each frame.
$7E18AF	1 byte	Yoshi	Yoshi squatting timer. It's set to #$0C once the player hops onto Yoshi, decrements once every frame, and takes care of the ducking frame.
$7E18B0	2 bytes	Yoshi	Yoshi's X position. Used only to determine where Yoshi is when eating a berry (by means of walking into one, not sticking his tongue out).
$7E18B2	2 bytes	Yoshi	Yoshi's Y position. Used only to determine where Yoshi is when eating a berry (by means of walking into one, not sticking his tongue out).
$7E18B4	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18B5	1 byte	Flag	Cleared when standing on the ground, set when standing on the floor of the unused winged cage. It tells whether the player should be following the cage or layer 1.
$7E18B6	1 byte	Misc.	Sometimes used to keep track of a tile to generate at $00:BEB0 (before storing to $7E:009C); may be in conjunction with $7E:185E. Also used to determine the player X position when he's on the line guided rope, used when the player is on top of Boo Block, etc.
$7E18B7	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18B8	1 byte	Flag	Run cluster sprite code. #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E18B9	1 byte	Sprites	Generator type that is currently active. #$01 = Eerie Generator; #$02 = Para Goomba; and so on. The pointer for this address is located at $02:B00C.
$7E18BA	1 byte	Sprites	Index to the Boo rings that are on screen (maximum is two). Additionally, depending on bit 0 of this byte, the reappearing ghosts use position combination 1 or 2.
$7E18BB	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18BC	1 byte	Sprites	Floating skull speed. It's set to #$00 in the sprite initial routine, and set to #$0C when the player touches the sprite.
$7E18BD	1 byte	Timer	Time to stun the player. It will make the player face the screen and make him unable to move.
$7E18BE	1 byte	Flag	Flag used to tell if the player can climb on air. The line guided ropes use this to let the player get onto them.
$7E18BF	1 byte	Timer	Timer used by a bunch of appearing/disappearing sprites (examples: Lakitu, Magikoopa, and Layer 3 smasher). Sprite D2 freezes it by incrementing the timer - effectively getting rid of the decrements applied by said sprites.
$7E18C0	1 byte	Timer	Timer for respawning certain sprites, such as the Boo Buddies or sprite E5 (and Lakitu). Sprite D2, Turn Off Generator 2, sets this to zero when it is active.
$7E18C1	1 byte	Sprites	Used by Magikoopa and Lakitu to determine which sprite number should respawn when $7E:18BF is zero.
$7E18C2	1 byte	Flag	Player is inside Lakitu cloud flag. #$00 = Not inside Lakitu cloud. #$01 = Inside Lakitu cloud. If the latter, the player does not animate as if he were walking or floating.
$7E18C3	2 bytes	Sprites	Y position of the respawning sprite, used with $7E:18C0 (respawn timer) and $7E:18C1 (respawn sprite number).
$7E18C5	8 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18CD	1 byte	Sprites	Bounce sprite (alternative) index. Also used as which bounce sprite to overwrite if all slots are full when resetting a turn block (similar to $7E1861).
$7E18CE	4 bytes	Timer	Spinning turn block timer - amount of frames a spinning turn block lasts. When it hits zero, it reverts to a regular turn block.
$7E18D2	1 byte	Player	This address is incremented every time the player kills a sprite with a star while the star is active and will reset when the star runs out. #$01 = 200; #$02 = 400; #$03 = 800; #$04 = 1000; #$05 = 2000; #$06 = 4000; #$07 = 8000; #$08 and above = 1-Up
$7E18D3	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.
$7E18D4	1 byte	Yoshi	Red berries eaten by Yoshi. After 10 berries, the counter resets and Yoshi lays an egg, containing a mushroom.
$7E18D5	1 byte	Yoshi	Pink berries eaten by Yoshi. After 2 berries, the counter resets and Yoshi lays an egg, containing a coin game cloud.
$7E18D6	1 byte	Yoshi	Type of the current berry being eaten. #$00 = Coin (no effect except getting a coin), #$01 = Red, #$02 = Pink, #$03 = Green. Controls both color and what happens when Yoshi eats the berry.
$7E18D7	1 byte	Sprites	This is the high byte of the Map16 tile (actual tile number, not "acts like" setting) that a sprite is touching vertically. The low byte is at $185F. This, $185F, $1860, and $1862 are set after $019138, the subroutine that allows the sprite to interact with objects, is called. (This includes $01802A, the routine that updates sprite position with gravity, which calls $019138.)
$7E18D8	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load, cutscene load and level load.
$7E18D9	1 byte	Timer	Timer for the castle/ghost house door in the intro sequence. The castle door starts at #$FF, the ghost house door starts at #$7F. For the castle door: start rising and generate first sound at #$B0, rise until #$81, stay still until #$30, then sink and generate second sound at #$01. For the ghost house door: open and generate first sound at #$76, then close and generate second sound at #$08.
$7E18DA	1 byte	Yoshi	Sprite number that spawns when Yoshi lays an egg. Valid values are #$74 (mushroom) and #$6A (coin game cloud).
$7E18DB	1 byte	Empty	Set to #$08 at $00:CDD4 (unreachable by default) and never touched again. Might have been intended as a starting index for the player's fireballs. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18DC	1 byte	Yoshi	Flag that is set when the player is ducking with Yoshi. They cannot turn around in this state. If you were to use the debug codes at $00:D085-$00:D089, this also makes the fireballs that the player fires when on Yoshi appear at a different position.
$7E18DD	1 byte	Counter	Number of silver coins collected.
$7E18DE	1 byte	Yoshi	Timer that determines how long it takes before an egg is laid by Yoshi, when 10 red Berries have been eaten. Is set to #$20 by default. Also, as long as this timer is above #$01, the player is frozen ($7E:13FB is set).
$7E18DF	1 byte	Yoshi	Slot (index to $7E:009E and similar) of the current Yoshi, plus 1. Set to #$00 when the Yoshi despawns. In reality, this address is set to #$00 every frame, and is then set by Yoshi when his code runs. Because of this, sprites that run before Yoshi won't be able to read his slot from this address. For finding Yoshi's slot within custom sprite code, it is preferable to use $18E2, since $18DF is copied to that address before being reset.
$7E18E0	1 byte	Timer	Timer for how long stolen Lakitu clouds should remain before evaporating. Decrements once every four frames.
$7E18E1	1 byte	Sprites	Slot of the Lakitu cloud (index to the sprite table that corresponds to the Lakitu cloud sprite). Contains a valid value even if the Lakitu itself is still alive.
$7E18E2	1 byte	Yoshi	"Loose Yoshi" flag, and slot (index to $7E:009E and similar) of the current Yoshi, plus 1. Gets it's value from $18DF. If set, Yoshis spawned from an egg will become a 1-up instead. For finding Yoshi's slot within custom sprite code, it is preferable to use this address, since $18DF is reset every frame before being set by Yoshi again.
$7E18E3	1 byte	Sprites	How many of the coins from the coin game cloud (the one that appears if Yoshi eats two pink berries) the player has collected. Oddly enough, it's cleared if you get hurt.
$7E18E4	1 byte	Misc.	1-Up handler. Write to it to give that many lives. Handles everything except the 1-Up/2-Up/etc. graphics.
$7E18E5	1 byte	Timer	Amount of time until the next life is given through the 1-Up handler ($7E:18E4).
$7E18E6	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E18E7	1 byte	Yoshi	Yoshi ground stomp flag. #$00 = Yoshi does not stomp the ground when landing on it; #$01 = Yoshi does stomp the ground when landing on it. This is set to #$01 when a Yellow Yoshi has a shell in its mouth, or when any Yoshi has a yellow shell in its mouth.
$7E18E8	1 byte	Yoshi	Yoshi growing animation timer. Starts at #$40 and then decrements. Additionally, it freezes everything on the screen except Yoshi.
$7E18E9	1 byte	Sprites	Occasionally used to index $7E:17C0 (smoke image table). If there are no empty slots left when a smoke image should be spawned, the oldest one is removed and the index is reset.
$7E18EA	12 bytes	Sprites	Minor extended sprite X position, high byte.
$7E18F6	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load, cutscene load and level load.
$7E18F7	1 byte	Sprites	Score sprite index.
$7E18F8	4 bytes	Sprites	Timer for quake/interaction sprites. This is set to #$06 and decrements by 1 each frame. If the timer is less than #$03, the quake sprite is allowed to interact with normal sprites (if $7E:16CD is not 0). When it reaches 0, the quake sprite is erased.
$7E18FC	1 byte	Sprites	Alternative extended sprite index, used when the extended sprite tables are full. Holds the first available extended sprite index and resets to #$07 if all of them have been filled and another extended sprite is spawned.
$7E18FD	1 byte	Sprites	Flag set when Whistlin' Chuck whistles, even when it's the Super Koopa-generating kind. Setting this makes Rip van Fish chase the player.
$7E18FE	1 byte	Sprites	The diagonal and surrounded bullet bills timer. It increments every second frame, and when it reaches #$A0, it sends out some more Bullet Bills and resets itself.
$7E18FF	1 byte	Sprites	Shooter index for the current shooter that is being processed.
$7E1900	1 byte	Counter	Bonus stars gained at level end - decrements to zero.
$7E1901	4 bytes	Sprites	YXPPCCCT data of bounce sprite that is being shown.
$7E1905	1 byte	Counter	Iggy's/Larry's platform total number of tilts made counter. It will increment everytime the platform will be at a maximum tilt. Only the lowest bit is ever used, and it controls which direction it should move.
$7E1906	1 byte	Timer	Iggy/Larry's platform stationary phase timer. Is set to #$40 and decrements every frame. As long as it's not zero, the platform won't rotate.
$7E1907	1 byte	Counter	Iggy's platform rotation phase counter. After the third phase ends, the counter resets.	Valid Values
$7E1908	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load and level load.
$7E1909	1 byte	Flag	Flag that makes the creating/eating block run or not run. #$FF = don't run, any other value = run. Set to #$00 when a brown block is touched.
$7E190A	1 byte	Sprites	Reappearing Boo frame counter. They start appearing at #$FF, become fully opaque at #$DF, start disappearing at #$3F, and become fully invisible at #$1F. The counter decrements every frame and doesn't stop when it hits #$00 unless sprite D2 is active, which causes it to freeze at #$FF.
$7E190B	1 byte	Sprites	Big Boo Boss palette index, used for the transparency effect. The reappearing Boos (cluster sprites) also use this. They set this address to #$08.
$7E190C	1 byte	Timer	Directional coin timer. Decrements every fourth frame.
$7E190D	1 byte	Flag	Used as a flag in the Bowser battle for whether or not the final cutscene is playing. Used to remove the item box, as well as several palette updates and using a different OAM index for the roof tiles. Any non-zero value activates the flag.
$7E190E	1 byte	Sprites	Sprite buoyancy settings from level header. Format: XY-- ---- (bits) X = Enable sprite buoyancy. This reduces the number of sprites that can be on the screen at once without slowing down. Y = Enable sprite buoyancy and disable all other sprite interaction with layer 2. This reduces the processing cost and slowdown.
$7E190F	12 bytes	Sprites	Sprite properties, sixth Tweaker/MWR byte. Format: wcdj5sDp w=Don't get stuck in walls (carryable sprites) c=Don't turn into a coin with silver POW d=Death frame 2 tiles high j=Can be jumped on with upward Y speed 5=Takes 5 fireballs to kill. Clear means it's killed by one. The hit counter is at $7E:1528. s=Can't be killed by sliding D=Don't erase when goal passed p=Make platform passable from below
$7E191B	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load, overworld load, and every frame when Yoshi is on screen. The latter can be disabled by changing $01:EBD9 from [9C 1B 19] to [80 01 EA].
$7E191C	1 byte	Yoshi	Indicates whether or not Yoshi has a key in his mouth. #$00 = no, #$01 = yes.
$7E191D	1 byte	Sprites	Which cluster sprite to overwrite for the Sumo Bros. lightning's flames if all usable slots are full. Only cycles through sprites 0 to 9.
$7E191E	1 byte	Misc.	Is set to a value #$00-#$03 when pressing a big switch. Depending on the value, either a green, yellow, blue or red flat switch sprite will be left behind in the room.
$7E191F	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1920	1 byte	Counter	How many 1-Ups from the bonus game are still not collected. Decrements every time a 1-Up is collected. The bonus game ends when this address hits zero.
$7E1921	1 byte	Misc.	During the cutscene after defeating Bowser, indicates which letter the "Mario's adventure is over..." message is currently at. Ends at #$54.
$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.
$7E1923	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1925	1 byte	Misc.	Level mode settings from level header.
$7E1926	2 bytes	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1928	1 byte	Misc.	One of two screen numbers used in the level loading routine. This one points to where the current object is placed and is never changed inside an object loading code. The other screen number is $7E:1BA1. It is also used in the credits as a pointer to which background should be used for which part of the credits roll.
$7E1929	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen 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	1 byte	Graphics	Sprite GFX set that is currently used.
$7E192C	1 byte	Empty	Empty. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E192D	1 byte	Misc.	FG palette settings from the level header.
$7E192E	1 byte	Misc.	Sprite palette settings from the level header.
$7E192F	1 byte	Misc.	Background color settings from the level header.
$7E1930	1 byte	Misc.	Background palette settings from the level header.
$7E1931	1 byte	Misc.	Tileset setting from level header. Also used on the overworld and in cutscenes to determine what graphics should be uploaded.
$7E1932	1 byte	Misc.	Copy of the tileset setting from the level header. Never read by anything.
$7E1933	1 byte	Misc.	Layer being processed. #$00 = Layer 1; #$01 = Layer 2/3 (depending on which is interactive). Used in both level loading routine and processing interactions.
$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	2 bytes	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. #$01 = Player is on a climbing tile.
$7E1B81	1 byte	Should be 00	Uses in 16-bit loads to $7E:1B80, and otherwise #$00 is always stored here. Using this outside of the overworld is fine, however. Cleared on reset, titlescreen load and overworld load.
$7E1B82	1 byte	Overworld	X position on-screen of the current castle/fortress destruction explosion. Also denotes X position on-screen of the appearing event sprite tiles.
$7E1B83	1 byte	Overworld	Y position on-screen of the current castle/fortress destruction explosion. Also denotes Y position on-screen of the appearing event sprite tiles.
$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	1 byte	Pointer	Pointer to the various routines that handle overworld events being activated. The pointers are located at $04E577.	Valid Values
$7E1B87	1 byte	Pointer	Overworld continue/save prompt trigger.	Valid Values
$7E1B88	1 byte	Flag	Message box expanding (#$00) or shrinking (#$01) flag. Also used in various other instances such as the save prompt on the overworld.
$7E1B89	1 byte	Misc.	Message box expansion and shrinking timer/size. Note: Setting expanding timer above #$04 will cause the message to be blank. Also used in various other instances, such as the save prompt on the overworld, and the opening/closing window effects during the credits.
$7E1B8A	1 byte	Flag	Which direction to point the arrow on the give lives menu. #$00 = Point to Luigi's direction, give him lives. #$01 = Point to Mario's direction, give him lives.
$7E1B8B	1 byte	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	2 bytes	Overworld	Used in the calculation of the Y positions for the overworld fade in/out windowing HDMA transitions. Removing stores to this address will make it only active in the X direction. Starts at #$0000 (completely black) and ends at #$5400 (cleared).
$7E1B91	1 byte	Counter	Blinking cursor frame counter (file select, save prompt, etc.)
$7E1B92	1 byte	Misc.	Position of the cursor on the title screen menus.
$7E1B93	1 byte	Misc.	Use Secondary Exits flag. This is likely not used when Lunar Magic is done with the ROM.
$7E1B94	1 byte	Flag	Disable bonus game sprite from being loaded flag. If not zero, the bonus game sprite will terminate itself in the init routine.
$7E1B95	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.
$7E1B96	1 byte	Flag	Side exit enabled flag. #$00 = Disabled; #$01 = enabled.
$7E1B97	2 bytes	Empty	This address is only stored to once in all of SMW, and that's in code that was originally never used (the fifth scrolling command, sprite #$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.
$7E1B99	1 byte	Flag	Used in goal point marching: flag to show peace image flag and handling the fade-out ellipse. #$00 = Don't show peace image yet, don't handle fade-out ellipse. #$01 = Show peace image and handle fade-out ellipse.
$7E1B9A	1 byte	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.
$7E1B9C	1 byte	Overworld	Player is entering a warp pipe/star flag. #$00 = No; #$01 = Yes.
$7E1B9D	1 byte	Timer	Time to wait until the rising/sinking tide starts rising/sinking again (after the "no movement" interval).
$7E1B9E	1 byte	Flag	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.
$7E1B9F	1 byte	Counter	Number of broken tile pairs in the Reznor battle.
$7E1BA0	1 byte	Overworld	The overworld uses this address to shake the ground as the Valley of Bowser entrance rises from the depths, by setting this address to #$FF. It also changes the music and adds some sound effects. It's a timer, but it only decrements as long as $7E:13D9 is #$02.
$7E1BA1	1 byte	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.
$7E1BE3	1 byte	Misc.	Layer 3 settings. #$00 = No Layer 3; #$01 = Low and high tide; #$02 = Low tide only; #$03 = Tileset specific image.
$7E1BE4	2 bytes	Blocks	VRAM address to start uploading data from the table at $7E:1BE6. It's used for layer 1. Big endian.
$7E1BE6	256 bytes	Blocks	Which tiles should be used for each row of 16x16 tiles, 2 bytes per 8x8 tile, used while scrolling layer 1 (loading new tiles). In horizontal levels, $7E:1BE6-$7E:1C65 form the left column of 8x8 tiles while $7E:1C66-$7E:1CE5 form the right column of 8x8 tiles. On the overworld and in vertical levels, $7E:1BE6-$7E:1C65 form the upper row of 8x8 tiles, while $7E:1C66-$7E:1CE5 form the bottom row of 8x8 tiles.
$7E1CE6	2 bytes	Blocks	VRAM address to start uploading data from the table at $7E:1CE8. It's used for layer 2. Big endian.
$7E1CE8	256 bytes	Blocks	Which tiles should be used for each row of 16x16 tiles, 2 bytes per 8x8 tile, used while scrolling interactive layer 2 (loading new tiles). In horizontal levels, $7E:1CE8-$7E:1D77 form the left column of 8x8 tiles while $7E:1D78-$7E:1DE7 form the right column of 8x8 tiles. On the overworld and in vertical levels, $7E:1CE8-$7E:1D77 form the upper row of 8x8 tiles, while $7E:1D78-$7E:1DE7 form the bottom row of 8x8 tiles.
$7E1DE8	1 byte	Overworld	This is a pointer index used for various tasks during the submap switching scene ($7E:13D9 is #$0A).	Valid Values
$7E1DE9	1 byte	Overworld	If non-zero, indicates an event should be activated on overworld load (otherwise, event handling is skipped). The 'Course Clear!' and Switch Palace message box routines set this just before loading the overworld, and it's set to zero again when the event finishes executing. Additionally, the enemy credits use this as the current screen number. Counts up to #$0C, which has the last set of enemies (the Koopa Kids and Bowser).
$7E1DEA	1 byte	Overworld	Overworld event to run at level end. #$FF means that no event will be run.
$7E1DEB	2 bytes	Overworld	Event tile to load to the overworld. A starting value is set to this at level end, and it increments until it reaches the value of $7E:1DED.
$7E1DED	2 bytes	Overworld	Last event tile to load to the overworld during a given event, set at level end.
$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 (see details).	RAM Map
$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.
$7FB000	1034 bytes	Misc.	RAM used by AddmusicK for various purposes.	RAM Map
$7FC000	26 bytes	Misc.	Used by Lunar Magic for various purposes. See details for an incomplete list.	RAM Map
$7FC020	14 bytes	Misc.	Used by Lunar Magic 2.20+ for LZ2/LZ3/ExAnimation code execution, on SA-1 roms only.
$7FC060	16 bytes	Flag	Conditional Direct Map16 flag. It's a table of bits, ordered from low to high. Used since Lunar Magic 1.80.
$7FC070	16 bytes	Misc.	Manual ExAnimation triggers. Each manual trigger slot corresponds to 1 byte in this table. Note that this address is not initialized unless you use the "Trigger Init" button in the ExAnimation dialog. Used since Lunar Magic 1.70.
$7FC080	32 bytes	Counter	Level ExAnimations frame counter, one byte for each slot.
$7FC0A0	32 bytes	Counter	Global ExAnimations frame counter, one byte for each slot.
$7FC0F8	4 bytes	Misc.	One Shot ExAnimation triggers. Each trigger corresponds to 1 bit, ordered from lower to higher. Used since Lunar Magic 1.70.
$7FC0FC	2 bytes	Misc.	Custom ExAnimation triggers. Each trigger corresponds to 1 bit, where a bit set means the trigger is enabled. Note that this address isn't initialized unless you use the "Trigger Init" button in the ExAnimation dialog. Used since Lunar Magic 1.70.
$7FC300	1024 bytes	Misc.	Map16 high byte buffer. Used since Lunar Magic 1.70 for VRAM modifications.
$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.
