Super Mario Kart

Track overlay tiles

The main table described on the earlier page mentions indexes into a pointer table. Here's a table of the ones used in game. Magenta represents track specific colours applied to that area, such as grey on Mario Circuit and brown on Donut Plains. Green represents 'transparent' tiles where the original track tilemap is displayed. Many indexes are unused and many are repeated. The Index column shows the index into the table only; not including the 2 bits that determine size.
