Coin Colours
(Updated: 23/6/9)
The coin texture is actually grey but coloured by the game using the colour values that are stored along with the corner positions that make up the billboarding (always face the camera) square that the coin tetxure fits into. Although normally each corner is the same colour, the corners can be different colours thus creating a sort of rainbow effect, as I did in one of my codes.
The colour values are in RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) format, with 8 bits for each colour channel. Strangely, the alpha value which controls the transparency of the coin colour only seems to work as it should, on certain emulators, not on a real N64.
Here are the usual colour values for the yellow coins for the PAL (UK) game as they are in the RAM, for the NTSC (USA) version add 0xA940 to each address:
800AED3C FFFF00FF Bottom left corner colour (RGBA)
800AED4C FFFF00FF Bottom right corner colour (RGBA)
800AED5C FFFF00FF Top right corner colour (RGBA)
800AED6C FFFF00FF Top left corner colour (RGBA)
These values are linked to the main yellow coin polygon data which is referenced by the yellow coin graphic structure (geometry layout).
The following are the RAM addresses for the blue and red coins along with the default colour values for the PAL (UK) game, add 0xA940 to each address to get the NTSC (USA) addresses:
Blue coin
800AED7C 7878FFFF
800AED8C 7878FFFF
800AED9C 7878FFFF
800AEDAC 7878FFFF
Red coin
800AEDBC FF0000FF
800AEDCC FF0000FF
800AEDDC FF0000FF
800AEDEC FF0000FF
Mario colours
(Updated: 6/1/10)
Stored in the RAM at the same address for all levels is a list of colour values for the different parts of Mario's body and clothing. What is interesting about these colour values is that it hints that Nintendo planned to make it simple to change Mario's colours, i.e. to that of Luigi, but it may not mean that.
To help you with making Mario colour codes, what follows is a list of colour codes for the different versions of the game, with the default colours. The format seems to be RRGGBB?? where ?? is unknown or unused.
