# Background Scrolling Data Info

TODO: - Verify info for BG start position nybble — 0x2 and 0x3 in particular. - How specifically do "Disable vertical scrolling" and "Automatic horizontal scrolling" work? What all do bytes 13 and 16 do? - Might be nice to list which BG speeds and such are all used.

Foregrounds and backgrounds scroll differently in many levels — sometimes they have a fast speed ratio and sometimes they can be completely static. This can be adjusted by hex editing your level. - **Bottom background** --> Change block 3. - **Top background** --> Change block 5. [![NSMBe screenshot of the level hex editor open to block 5. The leftmost nybbles of byte 11 and 13 are labeled as "BG starting position" while the rightmost nybbles are labeled as "Speed".](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/scaled-1680-/bg-hexadecimal-example.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/bg-hexadecimal-example.png) - Byte 11: Control BG horizontal scrolling. - Byte 13: Control BG vertical scrolling. And for each byte: - First Nybble: Controls where the background starts relative to the view and how it loops. This seemingly does nothing for horizontal looping or start position. - Second Nybble: Controls scroll speed relative to stage foreground speed. ^{(*Image source: [MarioSunshine](https://nsmbhd.net/post/33882/ ""Background Scrolling Data List" thread on NSMBHD")*)} ##### **Start position and loop data** - 0x0: Starts from bottom of view offset by 32px; loops entire background. - 0x1: Starts from top of view offset by 32px; loops entire background. - 0x2: Duplicate of 0x0? - 0x3: Duplicate of 0x1? - 0x4: Starts from bottom of view offset by 32px; loops top half of background. - 0x5: Starts from top of view offset by 32px; loops bottom half of background. Any value higher than 0x5 freezes the game. ##### **Scroll speed data** Table address in overlay 0: `0x0002F468` Table address in memory: `0x020C7B48` - 0x0: Same as FG speed. Used in w2-3 (sewer level) for example. - 0x1: 50% FG speed. - 0x2: 25% FG speed. Common for top backgrounds. - 0x3: 12.5% FG speed. Common for bottom backgrounds. - 0x4: 120% FG speed. Unused. - 0x5: 75% FG speed. - 0x6: 6.25% FG speed. - 0x7: 9.375% FG speed. - 0x8: 20.3125% FG speed. - 0x9: Same as FG speed. - 0xA: Same as FG speed. - 0xB: Same as FG speed. - 0xC: Same as FG speed. - 0xD: 200% FG speed. Unused. - 0xE: 400% FG speed. Unused. - 0xF: 800% FG speed. Unused. ^{(*Source: [RoadrunnerWMC](https://github.com/RoadrunnerWMC/nsmbpy/blob/master/nsmbpy/level.py "nsmbpy GitHub")*)} #### **Disabling vertical scrolling** - **Bottom background** --> Change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 3. - **Top background** --> Change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 5. - Byte 13: set to 0x40. - Byte 16: set to 0x10. ^{(*Source: [MeroMero](https://nsmbhd.net/post/33169/ ""Background scrolling" thread on NSMBHD")*)} #### **Automatic horizontal scrolling**

Works for any background that already has [parallax scrolling](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/books/new-super-mario-bros/page/background-information#bkmrk-parallax-type-tables "Background Information: Parallax Type Tables"). This can be achieved by putting a value of 0x10 for byte 16 and it will scroll the whole background instead of only some of it. (Note: if byte 13 value is somewhere between 0x40 and 0x4F, this effect will be overridden and instead the vertical scrolling will be disabled).

# Sound Groups # Camera The Camera in New Super Mario Bros is controlled in several ways. You have to take into account that the camera movements will condition the gameplay. #### **1. How the Camera restricts Mario** The camera restricts Mario's movements in two ways: • Mario cannot go out of the camera view through the sides. This means that if the camera doesn't pan further, Mario can't either. The camera sides act like walls (but you can't wall jump into them) • Mario cannot go to the bottom of the camera. If he does so, he will die. Note that there is some margin, so you can place something like a Warp to Level some blocks below the camera view. Mario will get it before he dies. Mario does can go out from the top of the camera. Simply the camera will not pan there, so Mario will be out of the screen. #### **2. Views** The camera will NEVER get out of the view. That means Mario can't get out of the view by the sides or the bottom. #### **3. Panning blocks** This thing is a little bit confusing. An area (not each view) is divided in blocks of 16x16 tiles (256x256 pixels). The camera will not pan into blocks that are empty (don't contain any objects). An example (thanks to Garmichael): Look at this level: [![Panfree.png](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/panfree.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/panfree.png) Notice that blocks A and F are empty. Mario cannot get to A from B, but he can actually jump from D to B. While he is in A, the camera will not move, but as soon as he crosses into B, the camera will jump to that location and that boundary would act like a wall. From there, As Mario approaches C, he will be able to see some of F, but as soon as he crosses into C, the camera will reposition so that the border to F is the bottom of the screen. If Mario jumps down into F, he dies (even though the block under F has ground). #### **4. Scroll Control and Scroll Stop sprites** These sprites control the camera in more ways. How they work is generally unknown, except for: • Vertical scroll controls: \[sprite:198\] and \[sprite:199\] • Horizontal scroll stop: \[sprite:276\] #### **5. Header Blocks** Block 2, Block 4, and Block 5 control more settings of the camera. Look at the [List of Header Blocks](https://nsmbhd.net/wiki/List_of_Header_Blocks/) page for more info. #### **6. Camera X & Y** The entrance's settings include two boxes named "Camera X" and "Camera Y", usually you can leave their values as 0, but sometimes you need to put values in there: [![Camera example 1.png](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/scaled-1680-/camera-example-1.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/camera-example-1.png) The zone and door entrance don't actually have any purpose in-game but to showcase the coordinates. The zone delimits what you can see on the NDS screen. If at least one of the Camera values is different from 0, then the tile at said coordinates will calibrate the camera and will serve as the top-left tile of said camera. You usually use them when sprites 198-199 and/or 276 are in the way, or eventually to calibrate the bottom of the camera to the bottom of the zone. The purpose of this is to show a nice transition when you change areas. With the example earlier if both values were at 0, this is where the camera would spawn by default: [![Camera example 2.png](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/scaled-1680-/camera-example-2.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/camera-example-2.png) The camera is 1 tile higher than the bottom of the zone, but the biggest offender here is the sprite 276, it is only acknowledged when the player have control of Mario thus only when Mario completely exits the pipe, the camera would recognize sprite 276 and then scroll to the left at high speeds, which results in an ugly transition and you can bet this is a rookie mistake to leave that kind of camera error unchecked. # Connected Pipes Each end of the pipe needs an Entrance. Both must have the same connected pipe ID. Set area 0 in one end and area 1 in the other end. Make a Path with the same ID as the entrance's "Connected Pipe ID". Each node on the path must be placed and "Value 6" in the node numbered as below: Image of how to place the node in each pipe with its value: [![Connected pipes.png](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/connected-pipes.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/connected-pipes.png) If value 6 does not show up for you, then try using the [original NSMBe](https://nsmbhd.net/download/). The path must be connected from one end of the pipe to the other; this is just to show the placement. You can place more nodes on the path if you need, only the first and last need the above value 6 number. World 7-A area 2 is good for more information. Example shapes: **Reverse L** **[![Reverse L.png](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/reverse-l.png)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/reverse-l.png)** Setting a pipe as "exit only" also works, and is used in retail (eg 7-A). # Entrances # 1. Entrance Guide Click the Door icon at the top to edit entrances. **Settings** • \*Camera X:\*\* • \*Camera Y:\*\* • \*Entrance ID:\*\* The ID associated with the entrance. • \*Destination ID:\*\* The number of the area the pipe goes to. If not changing area, set to 0. • \*Destination Entrance:\*\* The ID of the entrance it goes to. • \*Connected Pipe ID:\*\* The ID of the path that makes up the pipe. Remember to check "Connected Pipe". • \*View:\*\* The ID of the view the entrance is currently in. Not the destination view. • \*Exit Only:\*\* Check this if you don't want the player to be able to enter, I.E. a one-way pipe. • \*<entrancesetting16>:\*\* Not sure what it does. • \*Connected Pipe:\*\* Check this if you're using a connected pipe. (Such as 7-A) • \*Display on Lower Screen:\*\* Displays the view on the lower screen that the entrance is currently in. **Warp Pipe** Warp pipes are the way Mario gets around to different Views or Areas. **Simple Warp Pipe** First off, build a warp pipe using blocks. For this, I'll be using a upwards warp pipe, (object type 102) • Place the warp pipe, make sure it's vertical. (And make sure it extends into the ground or is at least 3 blocks high.) • Click the door icon, and add an entrance. • Using shift+dragging, place it onto the top left part of the warp pipe. • Click the drop down menu on the left side, select "Pipe facing Up." Set the View that it's in. • (Note the Entrance ID if you plan to make it both ways.) • Now go build another warp pipe somewhere else, make it horizontal this time.. (Either in the same Area or not.) • Add an entrance, move it with shift+dragging, and place it at the top of the end. • Set the entrance to "Pipe Facing Right." • Check "Exit-Only." If it's in a different View, be sure to set the View it's in. • Note it's Entrance ID, and select the first warp pipe entrance you created. • Set the "Destination Area" to whatever area the second warp pipe is in (if you created it in another area) and set the Destination ID to the Entrance ID of the second warp pipe entrance. • Save, and test it. It should work. • \*Troubleshooting:\*\* If you appear at the start of the level or in another spot not intended, check the "Destination ID". If your camera appears somewhere without Mario, and then you die, check that the destination entrance has the View set correctly. **Connected Warp Pipe** For this, I'm gonna go ahead and make a pipe that goes up then a turn to the left. (Use Shift+dragging on a block to change length and height.) Use object 59 for a good looking turn. Set that up, and add the entrances. You don't have to set a Destination ID. • First, click the first path icon. • Add a path, and set it up so the first square (0) is down 2 squares, and right 1 square from the leftmost entrance. • Next, use Control+dragging to make two more squares, one at the top of the bottommost pipe, one to the bottom left of the entrance. • Set up the paths with this trick. Unknown 6: 0=Pipe facing down 1=Pipe facing right 2=Pipe facing up 3=Pipe facing left In my pipe, square 0 is //Unknown 6: 3// square 2 is //Unknown 6: 0// • Now select each entrance, check "Connected Pipe", and set the Connected Pipe ID to the Path ID of the paths you just set up (IE. 0) • For the entrance closest to the end of the path, set "Destination Area" to 1. • Save and Play. • \*Troubleshooting\*\* If you enter the pipe, and a transition appears, check "connected pipe" on both entrances. If you enter the pipe, then come back out immediately, doublecheck that the entrance closest to the end of the path has "Destination Area" set to 1, and that the "Connected Pipe ID" is correctly set. # File Table A table of contents for the files inside of a NSMB DS ROM.

TODO: Currently sorted alphabetically — would something else work better? Things that probably also should be here: - Area - View - Zone - Chunk - Entrance

This page briefly defines some of the jargon you may encounter while modding New Super Mario Bros.; this will generally not cover more broadly-used terms such as tilemap, palette, archive, and so forth. **Code patch**: A piece of code which is compiled then inserted into the game. Also referred to as a **code hack**, **code mod**, or **ASM hack** (though the latter is considered a misnomer and usage of it is proscribed — it is listed here only for posterity). **Control byte**: A byte that controls how a map16 tile tiles in a tile object. **Map16**: The tilemap for tilesets. **Map16 tile**: A 16x16 tile composed of four 8x8 tiles. These can have tile behaviors set for them and are used in tile objects. May also be simply referred to as a tile. **Object**: Can refer to both an actor that may exist in a stage (e.g., a bullet bill) or a tile object.

Additional note: Any song with an id above 6F will not play, regardless of if there is song data associated with it or not (by editing the sound_data.sdat file) # Particle List Note: IDs can go as high as 255, all IDs past 118 are blank and have been left out for sake of shortening the list.

# "Event Controller - Zone" Setups

TODO: - Use these to improve/correct the documentation here and/or in NSMBe's object xml - Add more setups

Zone ID 0 should be interchangeable with any other ID, but this needs to be tested.

# File Formats

TODO:
- More filetypes
- Double-check course data block names
- Perhaps info on control bytes and slope controllers?

This page lists file formats used by New Super Mario Bros., what they're used for, and their structures. Do recall that the NDS uses little endian, so values are read starting from the least significant byte. ### Tilesets These files contain information about tilesets. #### Tile Object Definition Files AKA unt files. These define a tileset's tile objects and can be found in the `BG_unt/` folder. These are distinct from the unt_hd files. These consist of an object block, which contain object row blocks, which can contain either a slope controller — a byte greater than or equal to `0x80`, or a tile — defined like so: | Length | Description | | ------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | 0x1 | Control byte | | 0x2 | Map16 tile; can be from any of the loaded tilesets — `0x0000-0x00FF` = jyotyu, `0x0100-0x03FF` = main tileset, `0x0400-0x05FF` = subnohara | The end of an object row block is denoted with `0xFE`, while the end of an object block is denoted with `0xFF`. #### Unt_hd Files Contain supplementary information about a tileset's tile objects. Can be found in the `BG_unt/` folder and will be suffixed with "_hd". Each block is defined suchly: | Length | Description | | ------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | 0x2 | Offset of tile object (in unt file) | | 0x1 | Width | | 0x1 | Height | There is a block for each object defined in the tilesets unt file. ### Courses These files contain information about course areas and can be found in the `course/` folder. #### Course Data Files Course data files contain all the information about a course area bar tile object layout. Files are named `X##_#`.bin, where `X` is a letter corresponding to the world, `##` is a number corresponding to the course, and `#` is the area. Blocks are counted starting from 1, _a la_ NSMBe. Header: | Length | Description | | ------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | 0x4 | Block 1 (general settings) offset | | 0x4 | Block 1 (general settings) length | | 0x4 | Block 2 offset | | 0x4 | Block 2 length | | 0x4 | [Block 3 (bottom backgrounds)](https://bookstack.nsmbcentral.net/books/new-super-mario-bros/page/background-scrolling-data-info) offset | | 0x4 | Block 3 (bottom backgrounds) length | | 0x4 | Block 4 (tilesets) offset | | 0x4 | Block 4 (tilesets) length | | 0x4 | Block 5 (top backgrounds) offset | | 0x4 | Block 5 (top backgrounds) length | | 0x4 | Block 6 (entrances) offset | | 0x4 | Block 6 (entrances) length | | 0x4 | Block 7 (stage objects) offset | | 0x4 | Block 7 (stage objects) length | | 0x4 | Block 8 (views) offset | | 0x4 | Block 8 (views) length | | 0x4 | Block 9 (zones) offset | | 0x4 | Block 9 (zones) length | | 0x4 | Block 10 (progress paths) offset | | 0x4 | Block 10 (progress paths) length | | 0x4 | Block 11 (paths) offset | | 0x4 | Block 11 (paths) length | | 0x4 | Block 12 (progress path nodes) offset | | 0x4 | Block 12 (progress path nodes) length | | 0x4 | Block 13 (path nodes) offset | | 0x4 | Block 13 (path nodes) length | | 0x4 | Block 14 (object banks) offset | | 0x4 | Block 14 (object banks) length | #### Course BgDat Files These files contain information about the placement of tile objects in a course area. Their filenames follow the same convention as the course data files but are suffixed with "_bgdat" Each tile object is defined as such: | Length | Description | | ------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | 0x1 | Tile object number | | 0x1 | Leftmost nybble determines which tileset the object comes from — 0x0 for jyotyu, 0x1 for the main tileset, 0x2 for subnohara | | 0x2 | X position of tile object (top left, relative to top left of stage) | | 0x2 | Y position of tile object (top left, relative to top left of stage) | | 0x2 | Width of tile object | | 0x2 | Height of tile object | Each file is terminated with `0xFFFF`.
