I found that as long as mario has a path to walk on (even if its not the same direction as he is going), he will still go onto the other path thats on the other side
. It worked for me in the top right cornor of the main map.
Also, like the "hard coded" path in Choco Island, if you go in a half circle anywhere on the main map, then have the paths stop, mario will continue in the same path as choco islands pipe path one. I attepted to use this, but it was to unreliable. Sometimes it would send me into a circle where I would stop moving
.
And a program for editing these would be pretty cool.

If you'd ask me, I'd bet on the last choice. |

I wonder...how "hard-coded" are these paths, anyway? Is the data mixed with ASM code in fixed locations and thus difficult to change without code modifications (the "true" definition of hard-coded), or is it located in a small, easily-editable secondary table somewhere? |

Due to borendom, here's a list of the hardcoded paths I know about.
Donut Plains 1 - Donut Plains 2 (Possibly due to the yellow switch being too close)
Chocolate Island 2 - Pipe (Paths crossing each other)
Chocolate Island 3 - Chocolate Island 4 (Paths crossing each other)
Front Door - Star (The lava uses Layer 1 too)
Forest of Illusion 4 - Forest of Illusion 2 (Paths crossing each other) |

If I remember correctly, I didn't mention them because the average user isn't able to do anything with them (as far as I know). It requires ASM (you already noted). I plan on having an ASM tutorial that goes along with SMW. If that day comes then I will explain the hard-coded path.
Edit: If you want that info in there suggest what you would like it to say and where. Otherwise like I said above. |

such as the beginning of the game when you walk straight up to yoshi's house? |

If you've played the original SMW, then have alook at some of the Layer one tiles. Do you notice that some of the paths mario can walk are not there? Those are default paths, because they are harcoded because otherwise they would have been impossible. |

Yay, I'm right for once! Anyhow, can you show us some examples of these hard coded paths? I've never really experienced these things. |

GRAVITEH is right, Keikonium is wrong. |

Oh, I thought he meant paths that can only be edited in ASM |

Hard coded paths are the green and blue, land and water tiles you use to show mario which way to go. They are layer 1 I think. But maby layer 2 . |

what are the hardcoded paths? |

Waitaminute... How come that the tutorial says nothing about the hardcoded paths? |

Be aware that the overworld editor in LM might screw things up often. It sure has for me. Save often |

oh, and one more helpful thing, you can read the help file in LM |

Random movements probably mean he's walking on non-path data.
. Now I feel stupid
