Super Mario Land/ROM map

The following article is a ROM map for Super Mario Land.

Object Locations

0xA004 is the first Chibibo(Goomba).

And below is the general location for the rest of the enemies, and other non-power-up sprites for each level. Tempting as it is, you are not allowed to use fewer enemies in one level to add more to another. It's really annoying in 3-3, which uses way too few sprites.

• $A002-$A070 - 1-1
• $A073-$A0FC - 1-2
• $A0FE-$A18D - 1-3
• $5179-$5220 - 2-1
• $5222-$5299 - 2-2
• $529B-$530F - 2-3
• $CE74-$CF1B - 3-1
• $CF1D-$CFD6 - 3-2
• $CFD8-$D03D - 3-3
• $5311-$5403 - 4-1

Note: Objects 80-FF are Hard Mode enemys, and not yet documented.
Note2: These were all tested in the first level, 1-1, so TileSets may be an issue, therefore the object data stated here that is "buggy" or "glitchy" may work in other levels.

Level Map Structure

The first byte is split in two parts. The high 4 bits are a y-component(y) and the low 4 bits are a length(x). The game draws x tiles to y + 2(because of the status bar at the top of the screen). If x is 0, it fills the whole column. 7F appears to be a tile that is a used coin block. F4 appears to be a coin. An FD byte seems to be inserted after the position and before the type byte if that object is the floor (not sure, example 0xA817 is 00 fd 7f fe but 0xA827 is 01 7f e2 fd 7f fe) If there is a FE byte it goes to the next row. I'm not sure, but FF tells the game, that it is the end of the tile map. -Quoted from Coolman.
