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
• $5405-$54D3 - 4-2
• $54D5-$55B8 - 4-3

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). There are x bytes following the first byte that indicate what tile to draw. I'm not sure how many bytes follow if x=0. The tile number is the byte + or - 0x80. If the byte is 0x00-0x7F, 0x80 is added. If the byte is 0x80-0xFF, 0x80 is subtracted. 7F appears to be a tile that is a used coin block. F4 appears to be a coin. An FD byte indicates that there isn't x bytes after the first byte. Instead, ONE byte follows the first byte and is repeated x times. If x=0, it fills the rest of the column. If there is a FE byte it goes to the next row. For example, at 0xA817, there are the bytes 00 FD 7F FE. y is 0. x is also 0. FD indicates there is only one tile byte. The tile indicated by 7F is repeated across the entire column because x=0. FE indicates that that is the end of the line. I'm not sure, but FF tells the game, that it is the end of the tile map. -Quoted from Coolman.
