Hey, as long as you guys are working on SMK, did you ever come across the pointers to the level names? I was hoping to repoint them so as to have more varied names (the dictionary compression and highly repetitive names leaves very little room for creativity).

If I remember correctly, d4s and Nestea found the pointers to the track names. I hope they won't mind if I repost the offsets here:

--found by d4s: offset is from a rom that includes the 0x0200 byte header--
0x01CC32: Track and cup pointer table
This is the actual pointer table that points to the track and cup names; they are 2 byte pointers, with 13 pointers in all.

--found by Nestea: offset is from a rom that includes the 0x0200 byte header--
0x01CBC7: Time trial track name table
This is the pointer table that determines what track names are displayed in Time Trial or Battle Modes; entries typically go "29 tt tt FF", where tt is either a pointer or a letter or number. Entries from 0x00 to 0xDF are single tiles, 0xE0 to 0xEC use the data pointed to starting at 0x01CC32 -- the first pointer is 0xE0, the second is 0xE1, and so on -- and 0xED to 0xFE crash, presumably because the game is attempting to load an invalid pointer. 0xFF can be put in early to end a name in fewer than four bytes.

I hope this was what you were looking for!
