ROM Address Length Type Description Details
$008000 39 bytes ASM This is the starting address of SMW. This takes care of basic initialization such as disabling IRQ, HDMA, DMA, clearing the SPC ports, enabling F-blank, disabling emulation mode, disabling decimal mode, initializing the direct page, and setting up the stack.
$008027 43 bytes ASM This is code is responsible for uploading the OAM clear routine to $7F8000. The uploaded routine is essentially an unrolled loop which stores #$F0 to all of the OAM mirror($0200) Y positions.
$008052 25 bytes ASM This is the main part of the SMW initialization routine. SPC engine upload, sample upload, OAM setup, windowing setup, and RAM clearing all happens here.
$00806B 14 bytes ASM This is the main game loop of SMW. It is used to wait for V-blank to complete before executing the code of the next frame. One of the frame counters ($13) is also incremented here.
$00810E 15 bytes Subroutine (JSR) OW Music uploader.
$008134 37 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Uploads level music bank.
$008159 17 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Credit music uploader.
$00816A 522 bytes Misc. SMW's NMI routine. For more information, see here.
$008179 49 bytes ASM Handles transfers to and from the SPC700 (I/O). Changing all values to [EA] (NOP) or jumping over the code effectively mutes all sound.
$008293 1 byte Misc. How many scanlines the status bar uses during a regular level.
$00835D 1 byte Layer 3 How many scanlines the status bar uses during the battles with Bowser, Ludwig, and Reznor.
$008370 1 byte Layer 3 How many scanlines the status bar and ceiling use during the battles with Morton and Roy.
$008374 162 bytes Misc. SMW's IRQ routine.
$008449 44 bytes Misc. Code that transfer Sprite OAM mirror (sprite OAM table at $7E0200-$7E041F, a total of 544 bytes) to register $2104 to draw sprites.
$008494 52 bytes Sprite tilemap related Copies OAM's extra bits (size and 9th bit X position: %000000SX) data stored in $7E0420, and reformats, or “compacts” each 4 bytes of that into each byte to $7E0400 (%SXSXSXSX). $0420 and $0400 format
$0084C8 8 bytes Subroutine (JSL) JSL wrapper for the stripe image uploader (pointer lies in $12), which can be found at $0085D2. Because it upload tiles, it must run in either f- or v-blank (e.g. in NMI).
$0084D0 258 bytes Stripe Image Stripe image pointer table. Each 24-bit pointer here corresponds to a value of $12, but only multiples of 3 are used (the first pointer is for value $00, the second is for value $03, the third for $06, etc.).
$0085D2 40 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Subroutine which uploads the stripe image pointed by $12 to VRAM. The pointer is loaded from the table at $0084D0, and then the routine at $00871E is called. Afterwards, if $12 is #$00, the stripe image length at $7F837B is set to 0 and the terminator $FF is written to the beginning of $7F837D. In any case, $12 is reset to 0 before returning.
To call this routine from outside bank 0 you can JSL to the wrapper at $0084C8. This should only be done during a blank period (usually NMI).
$0085FA 86 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Fills the entire layer 3 tilemap with tile 0x0FC (transparent tile) i.e. the code "empties" it. Also wipes the OAM before returning.
$008650 119 bytes Subroutine (JSR) This is the routine that polls the controller and updates $15, $16, $17, $18.
$0086A0 (x8A0) - Change to [9C A0 0D AD A0 0D A2 00] to cause both player 1 & 2 to be controlled by controller 1.
$0086C7 24 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Subroutine that initializes the OAM table in Roy, Morton and Ludwig's rooms. It first initializes the first 100 tiles to be 16x16 (by setting $0420,x to #$02), then jumps in the middle of the standard OAM clear routine (JSL $7F812E).
$0086DF 27 bytes Subroutine (JSL) Pointer subroutine: Jump to a 2-byte pointer, the position of the pointer used is "Position after the JSL + 1 + (A*2)". The subroutine should always be accessed by a JSL.
$0086FA 36 bytes Subroutine (JSL) Pointer subroutine: Jump to a 3-byte pointer, the position of the pointer used is "Position after the JSL + 1 + (A*3)". The subroutine should always be accessed by a JSL.
$00871E 143 bytes Stripe Image Stripe Image Uploader. Uses $00-$02 as a 24-bit pointer to tile data. See this thread how the stripe image format works. Must be run during a blank, usually NMI.

To call from a custom routine, do this:
- Store stripe image pointer (24-bit) to $00-$02
- Push 24-bit return address (bank -> mid -> lo)
- PHB : LDA #$00 : PHA : PLB
- PEA $84CD
- JSL $00871E
$0087AD 617 bytes Subroutine (JSL) This routine is the DMA routine in charge of updating layers one and two as needed. This is controlled by the addresses $1BE4 and $1CE6 when they are a non-zero value.
$008A4E 43 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Clear RAM subroutine. This is part of the reset routine.
Specifically, it clears ram $00-$FF (direct page), $0200-$1FFF, $0681 and the stripe image table (by setting $7F837B to #$0000 and the start of $7F837D to #$FF).
$008A79 59 bytes ASM The routine that sets up certain VRAM-related registers in normal levels.
- $008A80: Default value for $2107 [23].
- $008A85: Default value for $2108 [33].
- $008A8A: Default value for $2109 [53].
- $008A8F: Default value for $210B [00].
- $008A94: Default value for $210C [04].
- $008AAB: Default value for $2130 [02], although it's actually stored to the mirror here (i.e. $44).
$210A is never set, since it is only ever used in Mode 0.
$008ACD 138 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Routine that updates the mode 7 matrix parameters mirrors at $2E-$34 using the rotation and scale parameters at $36-$38. SMW calls it every frame in mode 7 bosses (when $0D9B is >= #$80), and the "Easy Mode 7 patch" calls it every frame in mode 7 levels, but you may need to call it manually if you're using mode 7 in special situations (for example, on the Overworld).
On SA-1 roms, this must be called when running on the SNES CPU.
Call routine code
$008C59 40 bytes Layer 3 Tile array for numbers in bonus star counter.
$008C81 126 bytes Layer 3 Default status bar tiles info table. Format for each 8x8 tile:
%TTTTTTTT %YXPCCCTT

*$008C81-$008C88: top line of status bar (4 top tiles of the item box)
*$008C89-$008CC0: Second line of status bar
*$008CC1-$008CF6: Third line of status bar
*$008CF7-$008CFE: bottom line of status bar (4 bottom tiles of item box)
Table of addresses
$008D8B 1 byte Timer Timer speed (USE WITH $008E2E)
$008D90 28 bytes Misc. These four tables indicate the DMA settings and the source address to use for the status bar tiles (the ones that are uploaded at the very beginning of the level). The tables get stored in the order of $43x0-$43x6.
$008DAC 59 bytes Layer 3 The routine that draws the status bar onto the screen. It uses DMA to write the Layer 3 tiles to VRAM.
$008DF5 5 bytes Layer 3 The tiles that make up Luigi's name in the status bar.
$008DFA 4 bytes Sprite tilemap related Tilemap of reserve item. First byte is mushroom, second is flower, third is star, fourth is feather.

$008E06 20 bytes Layer 3 Bonus star counter tilemap - 2 bytes for each number. Every first byte is for the upper tile, every second byte for the bottom tile.
$008E1A 480 bytes Layer 3 The routine that updates the values of all the addresses used for the status bar ($0EF9-$0F2F).
$008E28 - Change this address to AD to disable the timer.
$008E2E - Timer speed (USE WITH $008D8B)
$008E45 - Tile that each timer digit resets to after reaching 0. Can be any value from $00-$80. (e.g. Change to $0F: 100 -> 0FF -> 0FE ... 0F0 -> 0EF ... etc.)
$008E5C - Time is Running Out SFX. Change from FF to 00 to stop the music from speeding up when time reaches 99.
$008E6B - [22 06 F6 00] Change to [EA EA EA EA] to not kill Mario when the timer reaches zero. The timer will count down normally and stop at zero, but Mario will not die
$008EDB - Change this and/or $008F09 from 20 12 90 to EA EA EA to disable writing the score to the status bar when playing as Mario and/or Luigi, respectively. Useful if you want to place another counter in place of the score using Smallhacker's Status Bar Editor. Note: This alone will NOT stop writing blank tiles if the first N tiles/bytes at $0F29-$0F2E contains the value #$00 (the "0" graphic). To prevent that, consider using this patch.
$008EE3 - Change to BRA [80] to write zeroes instead of blank tiles to Mario's score counter. Use with $008F11.
$008F11 - Change to BRA [80] to write zeroes instead of blank tiles to Luigi's score counter. Use with $008EE3.
$008F2C - How many coins you need to get an 1up (USE WITH $008F37)
$008F2F - [EE E4 18] Change to [EA EA EA] to not gain a life after collecting enough for one.

$008F41 - (Use with $008F45) Maximum life limit, minus one. Warning: Changing this to anything higher than 0x7E (127 lives) will remove the life limit entirely! Also, if you have more than
99 lives, the life counter will appear slightly glitched.
$008F45 - (Use with $008F41) Maximum life limit, minus one. Note that if you have more than 99 lives, the life counter will appear slightly glitched.
$008F62 - Number of bonus stars required to enter bonus game
$008F67 - [8D 25 14] Change to EA EA EA to disable entering bonus game when player has 100 bonus stars.
$008F6F - Amount of bonus stars that will be subtracted when 100 bonus stars are collected. Change to [01] to make 99 the maximum amount of bonus stars you can get - to create a bonus star wallet effect, use with $008F67.
$008F7E - Writes coins to status bar. Changing to [EA EA EA EA EA EA] will disable the coins from being written to the status bar.
$008F95 - [09] The X position of the small bonus star counter in the status bar.
$008FC5 - [20 79 90] Change to EA EA EA to disable the item GFX in the status bar

$008FE7 - [FC](blank tile) Tile used on the status bar when there's no Yoshi coin in that spot.
$008FED - [2E](coin tile) Tile used on the status bar when there is a Yoshi coin in that spot. Change to [FC](blank tile) to visually disable collected Yoshi Coins.
$008F1D 30 bytes Misc. Routine that handles actually increasing the player's coin count and giving a life from 100 coins, controlled by RAM address $7E13CC.
$008FDC 1 byte Layer 3 [05] If the player has collected at least this number of Dragon Coins, the status bar will display $008FE0 Dragon Coins instead (none by default).
$008FE0 1 byte Layer 3 [00] Number of Dragon Coins to display in the status bar, if the player has collected at least 5.
$008FF0 2 bytes Layer 3 Location of the first Dragon Coin tile in the status bar. Diagram
$008FFA 24 bytes Misc. Table containing six 32-bit numbers representing hexadecimal powers of 10, used by the 6-digit HexToDec routine at $009012 used to display the player's score. The numbers are not direct 32-bit values, though, and are instead two consecutive 16-bit values that are directly concatenated together. For instance, the number 100000 (0x186A0 is hex) is represented here as [$0001,$86A0]. 16-bit values
$009012 51 bytes Subroutine (JSR) 6-digit HexToDec subroutine, used to write a player's score into status bar (note: although the score is shown in-game as 7 digits, the 7th digit is just a static 0 tile). This function calculates the digits by repeatedly subtracting powers of 10 (in hexadecimal) from the input number until no more can be subtracted.

Input:
- Y: Set to #$00
- X: Status bar position to write to (indexed from $0F15)
- $00-$03: Hexadecimal value to convert. Note that this is not provided as a normal 32-bit value, though, and instead should be provided as two 16-bit values, with $00 being the high word and $02 being the low word.
$009045 12 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Subroutine used to convert a hexadecimal value to 2-digit decimal (also known by HexToDec). A JSL to this routine can be found at $00974C.

Input:
-A: 8-bit value to convert
Output:
-A: 1s digit
-X: 10s digit
$009051 40 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Subroutine used to convert the player's bonus stars from hexadecimal to decimal, and then write them to the status bar. Note that this only writes them as single-tile 8x8 digits, though; the main status bar's code at $008FAF is responsible for later converting these small digits to the 8x16 numbers actually seen in-game.
$009053 3 bytes Layer 3 Change to EAEAEA to get rid of the small bonus stars. Use in conjunction with address $00:9068
$009068 3 bytes Layer 3 Change to EAEAEA to get rid of the small bonus stars. Use in conjunction with address $00:9053

This routine is called during various loading screens (Nintendo Presents, level load, overworld load, cutscene load, credits load) but not during gameplay.
$009250 51 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Routine that initializes the windowing HDMA parameters. It sets the window to use HDMA channel 7 (or 1, if using SA-1 pack v1.35+) and to use $04A0 as the source. It also initializes that buffer to all $FF00 (i.e. no window is shown).
This is only called on game reset.
$0092AE 2 bytes Misc. The scanline × 2 of the solid lava colour in the Iggy/Larry boss battle.

$00968E 32 bytes ASM This is the beginning of the code that is executed for game mode 10 (the black period between fadeout from the OW and Mario Start).
$0096A5 is which Layer 1 tile on the overworld will prevent the "Mario Start!" from appearing if the player is on it. (Default is $56, the Yoshi's House tile.)
Change $0096A6 to EA EA to make MARIO START! appear on the Yoshi's house OW tile number, or to 80 03 to make the MARIO START! never appear.
$0096AE 158 bytes ASM This is the code that is executed by game mode 03 (Load title). Game mode 11 (Mario Start) also uses parts of this code. The shared parts starts at $0096D5.

- $0096C4: music bank used for the Title Screen. 0E = Overworld Music, 48 = Level Music, 59 = Ending Music.

$009C1F 69 bytes Controller Mario's movement data on Title Screen.
Format: xx yy xx yy xx yy [...] $FF
The XXs is the value to store to $15, except that the Select flag (#$20) is instead used to tell if the XY flag (#$40) should be masked away from $16 (if it's set, that bit is stored to $16 unchanged; if clear, that bit is masked away. All other bits are stored to $16.)
The YYs is how long to keep that value there. Setting an XX to $FF ends it.
$009C6A 1 byte ASM Change to 80 to open save game menu without pressing a button or Title Screen Playing.
$009C82 3 bytes ASM Change to [EA A9 00] to remove title screen movement. Title screen will not loop.

$009CA9 1 byte Misc. Display following layers: ---o4321. o = sprite layer, 4 = layer 4 (unused), 3 = layer 3 (no effect however), 2 = layer 2, 1 = layer 1. Clear the corresponding bits for these layers to not make them display on file select screen load.
$009CAD 3 bytes ASM Change '9C 9F 0D' to 'EA EA EA', and, if you happened to have a HDMA effect in the titlescreen, it will not be disabled when you go to the File Menu.
$009CB1 1 byte Level number Determines the low byte of the intro level number. Subtract 0x24 for the actual low byte (by default, E9-24=C5, meaning level C5, or possibly 1C5 with Lunar Magic's Display Level Message 1 fix). Change to [00] to skip the intro level and warp to the overworld immediately.
$009CCB 3 bytes Misc. SRAM starting addresses for each of the three save files, high byte.
$009CCE 3 bytes Misc. SRAM starting addresses for each of the three save files, low byte.

$009CD7 4 bytes Sprite tilemap related Y displacement for tiles in the first shared GFX routine ($019CF3).
$009CDB 24 bytes Sprite tilemap related Properties for tiles in the first shared GFX routine ($019CF3). It's indexed by the value of $05 times 4.
$009D30 8 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Subroutine used for changing the background color on the titlescreen, when entering/exiting the file erase menu. To use, load the color (16-bit) to A and a CGADDSUB value (for half-color math) to Y first.

Changing the first three bytes from [8D 01 07] to [EA EA EA] will disable the titlescreen back area color from changing.

$009E82 94 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Routine that draws the cursor on the screen for different menus (file select, player select, file erase).
It uses $1B92 to determine on which row to draw it, and $1B91 to skip drawing it every so often to create the blinking effect.

$009EBA ($FC) holds the tile that's drawn in the rows that aren't supposed to show the cursor. $009EBB ($38) holds its YXPCCCTT properties.

$009EC1 ($2E) holds the cursor tile number. $009EC2 ($3D) holds its YXPCCCTT properties.
$009EE0 16 bytes Overworld Initial level flags. This table is made of a pair of bytes where the first byte contains the translevel number and the second byte the overworld level settings. In an LM-modified ROM, this table is unused, with the initial flag data instead being loaded from a table at $05DDA0 that just contains one byte per translevel.
$009EF0 22 bytes Overworld Initial overworld position data for Mario and Luigi, corresponding to addresses $1F11 through $1F26. The values are copied there on creation of a new save file.
$009F06 35 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Routine to initialize RAM for a new save file. This first clears the SRAM buffer at $7E1F49, then loads into it the initial level flags (using the table at $009EE0) and initial overworld positions for both players (using the table at $009EF0).
$009F2A 1 byte Misc. Speed of Fade-ins and Fade-outs.
$009F2F 1 byte Overworld border Change from 01 to 0F to stop fadeout on entering level, new area, and back to submap. (Use with $00:9F59)
$009F37 81 bytes Subroutine (JSR) Fading/mosaic routine.
Change $009F59 from D0 to 90 to eliminate all fadeouts. (use in conjunction with $009F2F). Mod note: I've heard that this one is buggy. Use on your own risk.
$009F67 controls which layers are affected by the mosaic effect.
Format: xxxx4321.
The numbers present the layer numbers to add mosaic on. So 1 = Layer 1, 2 = Layer 2, etc.
$009F88 48 bytes Layer 3 Layer 3 settings. The table is indexed by 3t + i, where t is the tileset number and i is the Layer 3 image setting (00 = variable tide, 01 = low tide, 02 = tileset-specific image). It is used by the routine at $009FB8. The actual format seems to be:
01 = variable-height tide
02 = fixed-height tide
80 = Layer 3 smashers/cage
81 = slow-auto-scrolling background (except in tilesets 1 and 3, where it will be a background that scrolls at half the rate Layer 1 does)
C0 = same as 80, except without the smasher palette
$009FB8 141 bytes Subroutine (JSR) The main Layer 3 handling routine in levels.

- $009FDA: Starting Y position of the rising/lowering tide.
- $009FDF: Y position of the fixed-height tide.
- $009FF3: One of two tilesets for which the tileset-specific Layer 3 background will not auto-scroll. The other is at $009FF7.
- $009FF7: One of two tilesets for which the tileset-specific Layer 3 background will not auto-scroll. The other is at $009FF3.
- $00A00A: Pointer to the layer 3 crusher palette.
$00A045 38 bytes Layer 3 The routine that sets the interaction of the Layer 3 tide tiles.

Both $00A04E and $00A04F are the low byte of the Map16 tile that the tides act like; nothing is stored to the high byte, so this is always on page 0.
$00A06B 14 bytes Coordinate 16-bit X-coordinates for each of the seven submaps. The main map has values of 0, and is overridden elsewhere.
$00A079 14 bytes Coordinate 16-bit Y-coordinates for each of the seven submaps. The main map has values of 0, and is overridden elsewhere.
$00A09C 1 byte Timer Timer to disable skipping the intro message (level C5).
The timer decreases every 4 frame.
$00A0CC 3 bytes Misc. Saves Mario/Luigi's powerups based on which one you are using for the level
$00A0F9 1 byte ASM Part of the routine that runs after dying with zero lives.

If # of levels beat is zero, then it will take you back to the intro screen, if levels beat is positive, it will take you back to the last place you saved on the OW and bring up the Continue/End dialog.

Change this byte to BRA ($80) to cause it to not send you to the intro screen and bring up the Continue/End dialog if you haven't saved for the first time. (In other words, it will take you back to Yoshi's House on an unedited overworld.)
$00A148 1 byte Overworld GFX file for animated tiles (waterfalls etc) on the overworld.
$00A15A 4 bytes Overworld border Call to the routine to draw the number of lives on the overworld border.

Change to [80 02] (BRA $02) to disable the amount of lives from being shown in the overworld border. Use with $04A530.
$00A1E3 1 byte ASM Change to 0xEA to keep the game running when a message box is on the screen.
$00A21E 1 byte Controller Button to press for Pause. (Checks $16)
$00A21F 1 byte ASM Change from F0 (BEQ) to 80 (BRA) to disable pausing
$00A22D 1 byte Timer Timer (in frames) that runs to prevent the pause flag from being flipped instantly. Change [3C] to another value to change the time it takes for Mario to pause/unpause.
$00A23E 1 byte Music Change to 12 and music will continue to play when you pause the game. Changing [11] to another value will alter the sound effect that occurs when pausing the game.
$00A248 1 byte Debug DEBUG: Advance frame / Slow motion (00 = enable)
$00A256 1 byte Debug DEBUG: Slow motion speed
$00A25B 47 bytes Controller Code to handle leaving the level with Start+Select.

Change $00:A268 to 00 to always allow leaving the level.
Change $00:A273 to 00 to beat the level by doing that, not just leave it. Holding A or B will give the secret exit.
$00A300 144 bytes Subroutine (JSR) The routine that handles the graphics that get DMA'd to the first five 16x16 tiles in SP1. It also write the necessary colors to the player's palette (colors 6-F).
$00A30A - Mario/Luigi Palette - Starting Index (Changing this will cause Mario/Luigi to flash when the screen fades out after beating a boss)
$00A320 - Mario/Luigi Palette - Amount of colours * 2
$00A307 - [F0] Changing this to [80] will skip the player's palette write code, removing palette 8's hardcoded colors.
$00A390 1 byte ASM [C2] Change to 60 to disable all animations in levels. This includes colour 64.
Note: LM will still show the animations.
$00A3DB 2 bytes Overworld border [00 08] For which VRAM address animation data will be broken up into two lines of two tiles instead of a single line of four tiles.
$00A400 2 bytes Overworld border [00 09] VRAM address of the second line of two animated tiles (value should be $00A3DB + 0x100).
$00A41A 1 byte Palette [A9] Changing this to 60 will disable the flashing yellow color in levels, but not on the overworld.
$00A41B 1 byte Palette Palette number to use for the flashing palette. Default value is $64
$00A429 12 bytes Palette Changing [B9 0C B6 8D 22 21 B9 0D B6 8D 22 21] to [80 0A EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA] will disable the flash animation of colour #64. Make sure that the "View Animation" function in Lunar Magic is disabled.
WARNING: Will disable the animated colours on the OW too!
$00A439 1 byte Misc. Change [F0] (BEQ) to [80] (BRA) to prevent various tiles in SP1 to be overwritten (which meant using ExGFX for them would have no effect). This does not affect tiles 00-09, 10-19 and 7F of SP1.
$00A514 1 byte Palette The first animated colour on the overworld. (Default: 6D.)
$00A51D 1 byte Palette The second animated colour on the overworld. (Default: 7D.)
$00A635 353 bytes ASM Routine responsible for initializing various things during loading of levels and castle destruction cutscenes. This includes:
- Resetting P-switch, star, and directional coin timers, as well as resetting their music.
- Controlling the flag for whether the coinblock bonus room minigame is still playable.
- Clearing RAM addresses $71-$93 and $13DA-$1410.
- Preventing Yoshi from spawning if the level has a No-Yoshi entrance.
- Preparing Mario's entrance action (as defined by $192A) for both regular levels and No-Yoshi entrances.

$00A6B6: Initialization of a No-Yoshi level.
$00A6CC: Initialization of a regular level.
$00A757 1 byte Misc. How far to offset the players position to the right when exiting a vertical pipe. Values above 0F aren't recommended.
$00A75F 1 byte Misc. How many frames to move Mario when exiting upward from a vertical pipe.
$00A763 1 byte Misc. How many frames to move Mario when exiting downward from a vertical pipe while small.
