The Kafuka Super Mario All-Stars Mario 3 Project

Backstory

For a very long time DJ Bouche and I have bounced around the idea of working on a super hack. Originally a long time ago we would have said it would have been Super Mario Bros. 3 in All-stars. Once we started talking again we made decision that we would, when the time was right, do it.

What is this?

Super Mario Bros. 3 All-stars Kafuka is (or will be) a in-depth project to in essence turn All-Stars into one giant Super Mario Brothers 3 SNES engine. This engine would be both for our debut hack, and for anyone else who would like to make their own SMB3 SNES hack.

What does that entail?

This won't be an easy project as it has many parts and subprojects involved. The base part is essentially what DD did with Ruben in that reworking of the game at the ASM level will be key to the project. A level editor, packing utilities and other tools will need to be built during the project to support it. There will also be a custom SPC engine built by DJ Bouche, and a custom logo screen to allow save/load games to be accessed in thre SMB3 splash screen instead of the overridden SMAS one.

What are the planned features ?

• Expanded ROM Space + use of areas that once were used by the other games
• expanded sprites per screen
• more advanced handling of sprites to break away from "sprite sets"
• Custom SPC engine
• implementation of some of the Super Mario Advance 4 items and features
• Recycling of code from SMB1(and 2j) and SMB2 to allow level types based on those engines (no promises)
• New Level format built to take advantage of what we would like to do

.. of course that isn't all but it helps show the scope of what the project will be.

Why?

This is the question I bet every single one of you are asking. "What's wrong with Reuben and SMB3?" you may ask. The answer is nothing at all. DD did a wonderful job and while the project hasn't yet been completed it is still something everyone should check out. As for why not just rework the NES SMB3? It's for the challenge, for one thing. Doing something of this level with an SNES game (with exceptions of SMW) really hasn't been done. This would be a rather large and challenging ASM modification to the game engine to allow us to have many many times as many worlds with many many times as levels. Since SMB3AS is currently constrained by the NES' limitations, it has room for expansion and more advanced methods. Also it could be asked, "Why not look into the more modern games like NSMB?" Part of the fun is expanding on the lower level areas involved in making levels. The style of the 16 bit era is part of it too, and Treeki (His name comes to mind right away) and many others have done a good job with NSMB and while it would be fun, we came to consensus it should be something from the 16-bit era.

This whole project is meant to be a challenge for ROM hackers, Programmers, and others who want something.. "off-the-wall" to work on that could serve not only as a learning experience but to help create something a lot of people I've talked to want: a really, really expansive game in the style of Mario 3.

More info will be coming as we develop.

I'm interested, what can I do?

This project will have two parts; the engine and the Kafuka "3" community hack. We'll accept (quality) levels and world maps from everyone on the forums and the community at large. Right now DJ Bouche and I are busy so we don't plan to start this just yet. That said if we do get enough interest and have enough people to kick this off sooner we will!

What we need is help from the ASM hackers, and programmers in the community. If you know someone who may be interested, please link them to this thread. If you interested (or the guy given the link) and you want to help, please feel free to post a response. That said right now we are far from the point where we could use Level makers and graphics mods... however you can still show your interest and say you'll help when that time comes too!

The project when started will be a fully open (source, forum, and IRC) and will be open to other working on it. This will be a fully open book project so ask any question you wish in the mean time. Please feel free to share the link to anyone you think might find this interesting, provided that you don't directly post it on others' forums without their permission first.

This will not be easy, and in fact it may be too much but, really I hope a challenge will spark something awesome!

I've moved this to the public forums. Enjoy!

M3i (Jonwil made a variant that works quite well if you can find it) to edit mario 3 allstars, it doesn't do the best job. I even made my old utility to help with it a long time ago which was more or less an incomplete level copy with no parsing for the new 4 byte objects introduced in Allstars.

Actually this is one of the things we would address in this project. A suite of editors and utilities, in conjunction to a new format for levels and other assets giving us a good amount of control of a person's new content.

Mostly we'll have to see when we get into it. I would guess that with the amount of possible room we don't have to remove the code. We should be able to recycle the stuff we need.

As for the format, we've not discussed it, but tilemap is a possibility for sure allowing us a lot of flexibility. Also we've talked about other modes being allowed for custom boss monster support, and some kind of minigame platform too. I've been toying with the concept of an ambitious "Random/Semi Random" mode for a completely unique and challenging take on Mario. At the least maybe a survival mode like 100 man or "until dead". (This is something I put on the *dream list* since this one is a huge challenge to do in SNES code, and make it possibly to play it on the real deal.)

Just because something is hard doesn't mean you don't try. Some of the most interesting things come from projects that the odds are stacked against ya.

We fail no tears, it'll be cool. If you fear failure than you don't take risks. Things with a lot of risks can prove to be some of the most fun to work with.

Indeed it only makes sense to break it a part into Milestone, and tasks and work it one by one (or parts at once) This thread doesn't currently show it as this is a statement of purpose.

The "tentative" title was Kafuka for years. Doesn't have to stay that however.

Another good point as discussed on #rom-hacking on esper, ASM side converting all of the 6502/8 bit mode to native could be a good start code side. If we want to accomplish our goals we need to break out any limitations caused by being in a legacy mode.

I guess I will start with all the information I have discovered over the years. These will be (mostly) unedited sections of my personal notes. We will need to audit them and actually make a revised forum document (in a new thread or a Wiki or whatever we decide) These are all going to be dumps of my notes, so expect duplicate info, NES info mixed in, and everything that comes with it.

tonight I'll give you the first file:

The SNES pointers Here are 3 Bytes (Very useful)! The last 2 bytes of the SNES header are to Specify The Type of Independent background layers, and possibly there placement. In 1-4, I moved Mario to start at the top, and the background stopped working, I then copied these bytes from 6-7, and one of the layers appeared but not the other. I didn't mess with it any more than that, so I don't know there full working yet. Another thing, you can change the Object set of levels freely in SNES, regardless of What area the levels resides at in the ROM. But not in the NES, I think the NES is limited by pointers range for the most part.

He he! I get to be the only one in here! (for now) I just figured out how to edit the number of coins needed for white mushroom houses. If someone has already found this, I wouldn't be surprised because it is actually very simple. But I'll post it anyway because the board needs it. In 6-7, there is the "autoscrolling object 2" object at vertical location 4E. 4E in regular numbers is 79. And if you get 78 coins in that level, the white mushroom house appears. So if you want to make it so you only need 5 coins, set it at vertical location 06. You could make it as many as 254 coins if you set it at FE (I believe FF would mess up the level). What goes in the mushroom houses still remains the same, at this time. All the p-wing houses put the object at horizontal location 00, and the anchor levels at 01. But moving those does not change anything. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 93 BC 06 C0 EA 80 81 14 00 1-1 8A B4 D2 CF E9 00 8D 01 00 1-5 33 BD 5B C5 77 81 81 13 08 3-8 9A BF B7 C5 9B 80 81 14 08 3-3 CA A8 58 CA 97 81 C4 04 88 3-2 ?? ?? ?? ?? !. !. !? .. !. -C: Level pointer for bonus area -A: Level pointer for bonus area -A: Level pointer for bonus area -8: Level pointer for bonus area -5: Enemy pointer for bonus area -8: Enemy pointer for bonus area -C: Enemy pointer for bonus area -A: Enemy pointer for bonus area +9: Vertical start (3 bits), ??

"0 no background", "1 under water", "2 storm clouds", "3 wood panels", "4 underground caves", "5 colored blocks & hills", "6 dungeon pillars", "7 castle wall", "8 ice hills", "9 pipes", "A hills #1", "B underground caves #2", "C hills #2", "D desert", "E desert & pyramids", "F hills & clouds", "10 dungeon blocks", "11 volcanoes", "12 clouds", "13 question background", "14 crystalline walls", "15 underground caves #3", "16 waterfalls", "17 stary banner", "18 ice hills & clouds", "19 desert bricks", "1A colored blocks & hills #2", "1B castle windows", "1C forest", "1D hills #3", "1E waterfalls #2", "1F dungeon blocks #2", "20 bricks", "21 underwater #2", "22 castle windows #2", "23 wierd background", "24 wood panels #2", "25 underwater #3" In that case, here's a little more SMB3 info. 5CB8: (02 03 05 01) These are the amount of lives you receive for the three card bonus. Which I have already done, the mushroom will be a 4-up, the flower remains 3-up, the star will be a 2-up (which it always should have been, as it's the easiest one). I could have really gotten nasty and set the 4th byte to 00, giving no lives unless there's 3 matching cards, but I left it. And some fun stuff... 450: (04) level bonus sound effect, changing to 02 changes the sound to the coin sound, which I have also done. 4B9: (04) changing to 02 gives 1-up sounds to most coin blocks. Sometimes it even has the "weird" 1-up sound! 0x10c1b3 This is the allstars address for the table of the card lives. same format as stated before.... I just found something really cool in SMB3. Go to 4BE, and change it from 04 to 05. Then hit any block that has coins in it. Then everything freezes, and your item box appears! If you have items, you can use them here! But there are two rules here. One, the pallete for the enemies will be wierd for the rest of the level. And two, the benefits of the items aren't there. It just takes the pallete colors of that item. So if you are leaf mario, and you use a flower, you will be orange leaf mario. If you use a frog suit, you turn into luigi. Or you could be hammer mario, use a flower, and you get... Firey Hammer Mario!

Subject: Map pointers :) Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 11:33:27 EDT From: Marioexpert To: jonwil The map pointers are arranged with a table of Level Obj set and Vertical as one byte.

Pointers Also effect every square above, (or every other square above where they are placed?) Being that The first pointer in the table will take precedence over the next, If you move pointers without re ordering them, they will over ride each other. Acmlms editor does re order them properly if you want to see it in action move everything and save to see them reorder. Next there is a table of Horizontal, These are represented as 1 Byte. Horizontal will look something like this 02 04 06 08 0A 0C 02 04 0A 0C.... This is it: 04 06 08 0A 0C 02 04 08 0A 0C 04 06 08 04 06 08 0A 0C 04 06 08 Then you will have My personal favorite, The pointers that are 3 bytes!

UHP/Underground hilly pipe (UHB1+2.TXT)

Subject: Underground hilly pipe Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2000 13:34:34 EDT From: MarioExpert To: jonwil Underground hilly pipe: I would guess they are set per world. Because I am able to point to 2 differing ones with in world 5-1. World 5 has UHB in 5-2, and 5-5 Interestingly 5-1 has no UHB, and yet you can point to 2 of them. I wrote what levels they where down on paper, but I'm moving in August so its in a box. If I remember correctly, Its 5-2 UHB, and the other I think is from another world. After finding I could do this, I was thinking I could do it in all levels with the pipe B3 (Should be renamed in M3I description), but I tried almost every level in world 1, and it didn't work. Some UHBs have 2 pointer objects with in the Level Data, this could be just a mistake like that of 1-3. In 1-3 there is an extra pointer object for the Door behind the End, its useless, the pointer objects have no affect on that enemy. I would think those UHB levels have 2 levels in them, like that one you and I found. That would explain the 2 pointers possibly, just for differing Exit locations. These UHBs are not normal levels, You can't really Expand them In length, If I remember correctly, but I haven't tried since M3I was updated. When I move, I will be able to start on my hack again, Like level design, and GFX=(Graphics). I haven't worked as much as I did 3 months ago. Even when I should be packing, I'm hacking Mario! I will get back to you shortly. Your probably sleeping, and I just woke.

This fragment I am not sure on... I think it's incomplete.

This is a string from All-stars, the last three bytes is the first UHB pointer 14 FE 14 E1 14 FE 14 FE 14 C0 14 E1 14 C0 14 00 F0 0E 0C 0A 08 06 06 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 80 40 20 10 08 04 02 01 (Pointer C2 D1 24) Try looking for this in NES 80 40 20 10 08 04 02 01 or, 10 08 04 02 01 You will get a few of them, so test and see which one is the UHB pointers. You may even find the END pipe pointers in that area as well.

That's it for now. The next set I may need to upload some files.

I need you to smack your computer screen some and then you with it.
Your reply isn't helping much at all kp also to anyone else who may have dug around smas mainly smb1 or smb2..
Would you mind sharing the info to further this project ?

I am going to dig more into smas smb2 to see what I can find from the rom address.

Lol. that was meant as a joke I believe.

Basically all the information for SMAS SMB3 that we have is in the thread. I do have some on the other games, but I would want that to be requested in another thread as this is just for SMAS SMB3.
