Notes

Dialog text has prefix of two bytes and 0E (what is its purpose?), and is null-terminated. The first byte is the text position and character that speaks. The second byte is the color index for the text. For example:

82 02 0E 72   6F 6C 6C 2C   20 66 6F 78  ....  6E 20 72 6F   6C 6C 2C 00

text position

The text position nibble can be either 0 or 8. 0 vertically aligns the text with the middle of the character picture, and 8 aligns the text to its top.

Effect of position nibble

0	8

Characters

Nibble	Character
0	Fox
1	Peppy
2	Falco
3	Slippy
4	Pepper

Color obviously depends on the palette.

Text is mostly ASCII. # is used as a period.
