0x0416 Player; some kind of vertical movement counter
0x0417/B Enemy; some kind of vertical movement counter
0x043A Fireball stuff?
0x043B Fireball stuff?
0x0450 Player's speed thingie
  • 0xD8 - when running (only when moving, not breaking/turning around and not when standing still),
  • E8 - otherwise
0x0456 Enemy's speed thingie
  • 0xD8 - when running (only when moving, not breaking/turning around and not when standing still),
  • E8 - otherwise
0x0490 Horizontal split offset, 0x00-0xFF (it moves up when the screen moves, not when the player moves and the screen does not, each 0-FF is a full screen)
0x04AC Player hitbox (1x4 bytes, <<x1,y1> <x2,y2>>)
0x04B0 Enemy hitboxes (5x4 bytes, <<x1,y1> <x2,y2>>)

0x04D0 Hammer hitbox (9x4 bytes, <<x1,y1> <x2,y2>>) (like from bowser, hammerbros)
0x04E0 Coin hitboxes (3x4 bytes, <<x1,y1> <x2,y2>>) (used for coins from questionmarks and when getting coins above bricks by hitting the brick)
0x06CE Fireball counter (increments as you fire). First bit probably used to toggle between hitbox indices
0x06D4 Cycle counter of gold coin in top of screen and image of questionmark blocks
0x06D5 Player sprite Mario state (didn't check them myself)
  • 0xB8 - small stand
  • [0x60, 0x70, 0x80] - small walk cycle
  • 0xC8 - big stand
  • 0x20 - big jump
  • [0x00, 0x10, 0x20] - bigwalk cycle
  • 0x50 - crouch
0x06FC Player 1 input (regular flag pattern), select and start are reset after 1 frame. See 0x074A for more accurate input.
0x06FD Player 2 input (regular flag pattern), select and start are reset after 1 frame. See 0x074B for more accurate input.
0x0700 Player speed in _either_ direction (0 - 0x28)
0x0701 Is breaking when 1 (freeze this and you immediately stand still when you stop moving)
0x0702 Walk animation (didn't check values)
  • 0xE4 - is running
  • 0x30 - skidding
  • 98 - normal
  • Also some other values when starting to run or when turning around
0x0705 Some kind of counter that only runs when you press left or right
0x070B When not 0, runs big-small animation (but does not affect anything internally)
0x0714 0x04 when ducking as big mario, 0 otherwise (also when ducking as small). Keeps being 4 when you slide of an edge while ducking (so does not affect image, but does when set to 4 and being small...). When this register is frozen, you can move like normal, you're just ducking while doing so.
0x071A Current screen (in level)
0x071B Next screen (in level)
0x071C Player x position, loads next screen when player past it?
0x071D Player x position, moves screen position forward when this moves
0x071E Some kind of load timer between levels (like bonus levels). Counts back, done when this is FF. you can see the level being built in memory up as this counter progresses, one frame at a time.
0x071F Some kind of load timer while scrolling, loading the next part up ahead? runs from 4 to 0
0x0743 When true, new groundtiles and blocktiles will be loaded as clouds (coinblocks and questionmark blocks remain the same!)
0x0744 Something with background palette
0x0747 Some kind of timer. when set, everything freezes; enemies, powerups, even loading of next screen.
0x074A Buttons pressed player 1 (keeps updated, even while paused or whatever, the other register resets the start and select immediately)
0x074B Buttons pressed player 2 (keeps updated, even while paused or whatever, the other register resets the start and select immediately)
0x074E "Gold" block pallette - 00 turns blocks into water world and makes bubble, but no swimming
0x0752 If not 0 will crash game when level loads
0x0753 Affects mario/luigi before level load, disables movement when not 0 after level load
0x0754 Player's state. This also affects hitting stuff. Decreases when you eat a mushroom! Increases when you get hit.
  • 0 - Big
  • 1 - Small
  • 2 - When set to two, you can't hit blocks but you can stand on them... (no idea where this is used)
  • 5 - Makes you small (even when your state is big or even fiery, in fiery case you become a small fiery)
0x0755 Something with background. It moves up to 0x70 (sometimes even 0x72) when player moves. When this register is frozen, NOTHING changes in the level, not even internally.
0x0756 Powerup state
  • 0 - Small
  • 1 - Big
  • >2 - fiery
0x075E Set to 1 during "prelevel" screen
0x075A Lives
0x075E Coins
0x075F "current world minus one. This gets set to 23 when warp glitch in 1-2 takes you to level -1 "
0x0770 Game mode. Setting this will take affect immediately. You can skip a WORLD by setting it to 02 (and waiting a second or two). Crashes when set to >02 or when set to 02 in world 8. You can activate the demo at _any_ time. Set to 01 at the title screen and you start the game with the title screen showing.
  • 00 - Start demo
  • 01 - Start normal
  • 02 - End current world
  • 03 - End game (?)
0x0772 Level loading setting. You can set this while playing.

- 00 - Restarts level - 01 - Right before the start of a level - 02 - Has an effect but unsure what (skip frame or input?) - 03 - Reset level. When in a level when doing this midlevel, this sometimes teleports you to a bonuslevel. exiting that bonuslevel enters another bonuslevel (as if you were exiting a pipe though), and exiting that level enters the normal world again.

0x0773 Level palette
  • 00 - Normal
  • 01 - Underwater
  • 02 - Night
  • 03 - Underground
  • 04 - Castle
0x0774 ?? Changes on game and level start. Crashes game if changed
0x0775 Scrollspeed
0x0776 Is paused
0x0777 Timer when (un)pausing, you can only re/unpause when this is zero
0x0778 Affects blocks and level, lowest bit seems to toggle loaded screen..? also affects sprite palletes of objects
0x0779 Affects colors.. most values crash
  • 1E - Default
  • 1F - Makes it grey scale
0x077A If true, will load luigi when mario dies. You have to unset 0753 to move with luigi though
0x0780-0x07A2 All kinds of timers. Should investigate more to see what timer does what. Some are explained below
0x0781 Timer: fireball shot
0x0782 Timer: when jumping
0x0795 Timer: falling down a pit (and more...)
0x079E Timer: invincible after enemy collision. Freeze this register to anything but 0 and you remain invincible
0x079F Timer: star (when you have star)
0x07A0 Timer: "prelevel" screen timer, fired again when level starts
0x07A2 Timer: demo start
0x07B1 If true, you wont "die" after falling or getting hit while small. You will be unable to move at the bottom of the screen though until you set it to 00
0x07D7/C High score (1000000 100000 10000 1000 100 10)
0x07DD-0x07E2 Mario score (1000000 100000 10000 1000 100 10)
0x07D3/8 Luigi score (1000000 100000 10000 1000 100 10)
0x07ED/E Coins (10 1) (on screen only)
0x07F8/A Digits of time (100 10 1)
0x07FC Game difficulty (set when you beat the game)
