This page details all kinds of different information regarding levels, such as the IDs used in the filename for the level, level features that are "hardcoded" into that level slot, etc.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Hardcoded Level Features

NOTE: Most of these hardcoded features are still present in Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii.

  • Level 01-01 has a Peach's Castle background object (bgA_0104 and bgB_0104) in Area 1 overlapping any other set backgrounds at the start of the level.
    The Peach's Castle background objects are present despite the zone's backgrounds being changed.
  • Level 01-06 Area 2 messes with the players physics, likely to make it harder or easier to travel against the rolling hill.
  • Level 01-24 Area 1 lets the player go further above the top of the screen than normally allowed.
  • Level 01-40 requires the entrance to be moved a few tiles to the right (usually 4 tiles), lest the game crashes.
  • Level 02-05 disables any and all Zoom Controller sprites in multiplayer.
  • Level 02-24 Area 1 uses the custom castle scrolling feature and changes the model of the lava from obj_magma.arc to obj_magmawave.arc. Additionally, tilesets are not randomized in this Area.
  • Level 03-04 has a lot of hardcoded checks, like choosing between two different Hint Movies depending on if the Red Switch is on or off.
  • Level 03-05 has some hardcoded behavior related to the screen heights.
  • Levels 04-22, 04-24, 05-01 and 06-03 have hardcoded behavior related to liquids.
  • Level 06-06 has hardcoded behavior related to the Flashlight Raft sprite. It also forces the Switch sprite not to load in Hint Movies.
  • Level 06-24 Area 2 crushes the player if they are above Y position -1420. This was likely a hotfix concerning Morton's boss fight.
  • Level 07-02 has hardcoded behavior likely related to the Giant Bubble sprite.
  • Level 08-02 makes the Lava's glow effect always display above Layer 0.
  • Level 08-03 uses special liquid effects in all 4 Areas. Water, Raft/Rising and Falling Water, Lava, Quicksand, and Poison Water will have 4-5 block tall waves, and non-lava waves will have glitched textures. No matter what liquid is used, they all have deadly collision, even if Thick/Ghost Fog is added to the level.
  • Level 08-06 alters the Z-order of Lava to prevent the crests from being visible through the rising lava.
  • Level 08-07 has some hardcoded behavior related to vertical Zone Bounds and to benefit the Bone Coaster. It may modify the speed at which the camera tracks Mario's movement across the screen, or disable the camera from focusing on dead players in multiplayer.
  • Level 08-24 will take the player to the credits when beaten. Textures of the Bowser fight glitch if the level is edited to be a different level. Some textures specific to the Bowser boss fight are only loaded in this stage. Also, exclusively in 08-24, Event ID 2 activates when Bowser's battle starts, Event ID 3 activates when he falls down into the pit, and Event ID 4 activates when he returns as Mega Bowser.
  • Levels 09-05, 09-06, and 09-07 have unknown and strange problems attached to them in certain levels, so it is best not to use them.
  • Level 12-65 Area 2 has hardcoded behavior related to the camera.
  • Levels XX-39, if you are able to enter them, will load the Toad House for the relevant world.
  • Levels XX-41 (Peach's Castle level slots) will not display the in-level HUD. Additionally, they are the only levels that can spawn Toad's message when a Toad sprite is present.
  • All Toad House levels will not display the in-level HUD. Placing a Toad sprite into the level will show the related message.
  • Any normal levels (slots 1 through 9, towers, ghost houses, castles, and airships) will not display star coins on the in-level HUD if they do not have a level node on the worldmap.
