You only get this opportunity once, right? What could be more evil than some Mario hacking? I'll start by saying this is the stupidest text system I have ever seen. SMW doesn't have a line terminating character like normal games - nooo, that would make SENSE. It instead has an an entire ALPHABET of characters that serve as line terminators - IE there is say 40 for a and C0 for a-and-then-go-to-the-next-line. And there is a counterpart for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. I'd love to know who thought this was a good idea as opposed to ONE LINE TERMINATOR CHARACTER. Moving on.... these are all for Super Mario World (U) [!]. 0x2A5D9 - Welcome text on main screen 0x2A666 - Switch Palace 0x2A6E2 - Yoshi's House 0x2A76A - Yoshi first found 0x2A7E3 - Dotted line blocks hint 0x2A86A - Item storage box hint 0x2A8E4 - Shell usage hint 0x2A968 - Spin jump hint 0x2A9F6 - Mid-way gate hint 0x2AA79 - Dragon Coins hint 0x2AAF1 - Stomp-jump hint 0x2AB7D - Area already cleared hint 0x2ABF6 - Bonus Stars Hint 0x2AC7F - Fence-clinging hint 0x2AD09 - Kill the first boss hint 0x2AD8B - Cape usage hint 0x2AE15 - Alternate exits hint 0x2AE90 - Ghost House tormenting 0x2AEEA - Screen sliding hint 0x2AF76 - Star World Enterances hint 0x2B005 - The level with the time & coin count deciding the exit hint 0x2B007 - Special Zone hint The alphabet for these (not counting some fucked-up-yet accessable characters via hex) is (ones with a ~ after are linebreak characters): 00=A 01=B 02=C 03=D 04=E 05=F 06=G 07=H 08=I 09=J 0A=K 0B=L 0C=M 0D=N 0E=O 0F=P 10=Q 11=R 12=S 13=T 14=U 15=V 16=W 17=X 18=Y 19=Z 1A=! 1B=. 1C=- 1D=, 1E=? 1F= 40=a 41=b 42=c 43=d 44=e 45=f 46=g 47=h 48=I 49=j 4A=k 4B=l 4C=m 4D=n 4E=o 4F=P 50=q 51=r 52=s 53=t 54=u 55=v 56=w 57=x 58=y 59=z 5A=# 5B=( 5C=) 5D=' 5E=<mid-height .> 60=<... left> 61=<... right> 62=<paw print left> 63=<paw print right> 64=1 65=2 66=3 67=4 68=5 69=6 6A=7 6B=0 78=<Japanese .> 80=A~ 81=B~ 82=C~ 83=D~ 84=E~ 85=F~ 86=G~ 87=H~ 88=I~ 89=J~ 8A=K~ 8B=L~ 8C=M~ 8D=N~ 8E=O~ 8F=P~ 90=Q~ 91=R~ 92=S~ 93=T~ 94=U~ 95=V~ 96=W~ 97=X~ 98=Y~ 99=Z~ 9A=!~ 9B=.~ 9C=-~ 9D=,~ 9E=?~ 9F= ~ C0=a~ C1=b~ C2=c~ C3=d~ C4=e~ C5=f~ C6=g~ C7=h~ C8=I~ C9=j~ CA=k~ CB=l~ CC=m~ CD=n~ CE=o~ CF=P~ D0=q~ D1=r~ D2=s~ D3=t~ D4=u~ D5=v~ D6=w~ D7=x~ D8=y~ D9=z~ E4=1~ E5=2~ E6=3~ E7=4~ E8=5~ E9=6~ EA=7~ EB=0~ I'm aware there's more than just the hints, I'm not quite done searching this game yet. I'll post more later on =P EDIT: DAMN YOU RETRO AND YOUR LACK OF HTML
Alternatively you could just download Lunar Magic and edit the game's text in that =P Well done on having an evil number of posts.
Well, yeah, but the original idea for this was possibly an STE template, until I discovered how stupid the format is. Plus the whole 666 thing =P
Cool stuff! I did a bit of text hacking with Lunar Magic once—its built in text editor is really crappy about formatting, so I had to manually edit a lot of the spacing. Turned out pretty good, though. =P
