Objects

Objects that can be moved or destroyed, such as item boxes, trees, and the giant sign in Mario Raceway, are stored in the same format as Course Paths. Like the paths, they are stored at hardcoded offsets in segment 6.

This list lists the location of each track's initialization routine in RAM, and the objects it loads in order:

The initialization routine calls the following routine to load the objects, with register A0 set to the RSP address of the object positions:

• 0x8029D830: Item boxes
• 0x8029D584: Trees
• 0x8029CC14: Piranha plants
• 0x8029CD80: Palm trees (Koopa Beach)
• 0x8029D018: Falling rocks (Choco Mountain)

Trees (except palm trees), bushes, and cacti are all the same object with different graphics. Special item boxes (rigged to always give a blue shell) aren't handled here.

The tracks' initialization routines also load some other objects:

• Yoshi Valley calls 0x802B529C to load the giant egg
  • A0 = SP + 0x40
  • A1 = X position
  • A2 = Y position
  • A3 = Z position
  • Removing this call makes the egg invisible and places it at coordinates 0,0,0
• DK's Jungle Parkway calls 0x8029D9F8 (from 0x8029E118); this causes coconuts to be thrown.
• 0x8029E380 calls 0x802A84F4 when loading Luigi Raceway and maybe some others (XXX):
  • A0 = 0x0F035568 (pointing at something in/after segment 7 data?)
  • A1 = 0x0400
  • A2 = 0x0800
  • Looks similar to an object loading routine
  • Disabling it seems to have no effect
