AHA! Notice anything different? No? Exactly! I've successfully freed up 2048 bytes of Super Mario Kart's RAM which can now be used for anything you want, AND at no cost to the functionality of the game! It's FREE RAM! This begins my SMK major technical improvement project!

Super Mario Kart's "3D-like" effect is created by combining Mode 7's Affine Transformation abilities, and the SNES's HDMA ability to update the Mode7 matrix parameters per scanline. This creates the *illusion* of a projective plane in 3D space that works very well for the SNES!

Did you know: There is a single misplaced pixel in Toad's spritesheet. This error is across all versions, including prototypes as far back as April 1992. That shade of red doesn't appear on any Toad head sprites, and is too out of place on his head to be part of the ovals.

People always say Super Mario Kart is "fake 3D", so how about I make it "fake 4D" for you instead? :D (Yes this is all in one take! Tracks are being hotswapped live mid-race, warping you to a different track each time!)

What's this??? The track is... SINKING?! That's right! In Fiery Volcano, portions of the track will gradually disappear, closing off certain paths for you to take! What works for you in one lap may be closed off next time around. Plan ahead, and careful not to fall in! #SMKDX

Ohoho!! Back to work on #SMKDX again, I'm setting up the framework for NEW ITEMS! As a test of the framework, I've added Yoshi's Egg as a useable item by the player, but pretty soon you'll be seeing some new things 👀 The era of new items starts here!

To add on to this: Mario Kart Tour uses the same exact model as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Only uses a different less detailed texture (plus smaller texture image, and all that other 3d texture related stuff)

HUH?!? Alrighty then... Well, I'm getting really close. This is built directly from Yoshi's Island's source code (Ver_0 to be exact) using my recreation of as65c. So weird. The left screen is the actual output, the right is a sprite viewer screen. Still got a couple bugs to fix

So it looks like there's more control in this menu than I thought. You can increase and decrease the character's sizes. And well, uhhh......... just wait for it. #NintendoLeaks #SuperMarioKart

Oh no! The Poison Swamp is infested with Goombas! It might be a nice day for a little goomba stompin', but try not to run them over! It won't end well for you... Watch out for their little hops, they're getting ready to move! Only they know which way they'll move next #SMKDX

I’m saying this as sincerely as I can: Please understand there is a very big difference between “two people working on a passion project in our free time, with no budget and no financial incentive” and “multimillion dollar corporation with employees who create as their job”

Finally got hardware to mess with, and I’m writing a Python module to communicate with the FXPAK Pro via usb2snes! Here’s a small demo where I change the timer and Mario’s X position on the physical SNES via my computer!

Beware the QUICKSAND!! Don't be fooled, this nasty fella will slow you down and pull you towards it's center, only to snatch you up when you get too close! Drive around it? Hop through it? The choice is yours... good luck, driver. Don't fall in! #SMKDX

Watch for rolling rocks! Well... more like "falling rocks"... We're bringing the boulder back to where it belongs in the Hazy Caverns! Careful not to get squished! #SMKDX (I still have a lot of things to fix with this, so this is a mini demo/proof-of-concept for now)

A prototype version of Super Mario Kart contains a debug menu with some standard options and one separated from the rest, called simply "MARIO". Selecting "MARIO" will display all the racers looking at something off-screen and lock up the game.

Project L can now build the full debugging + SFX-DOS versions of final Super Mario Kart builds from source! Took a tiny bit of editing to make sure it's functional, but now it is! Project L v1.0 is officially ready for release soon! #ProjectL #NintendoLeaks
