Disabling this code reveals that the Blue Shell has an unused animation for being held. For some odd reason, Blue Shell is listed as 0x01, which means the item should be held behind the player like a red shell, though the game has code to prevent this and instead have the player immediately fire it. An item like Star would be 0x00, for the game to immediately use the item as the button is pressed. The game contains a list of values for each item that define what the item does when the player uses it for example, Red Shell uses 0x01, which means that the item is held behind the player and fires when they let go of it.

This Gecko code displays the performance monitor without having to access the unused game loop: The following Gecko code allows you to play on this unused game loop and enables the performance monitor:

If playing on 3/4 player multiplayer, the game will noticeably slow down, and the players won't be able to see anything, aside of some graphical effects and the HUD.Other sound play faster as well, such as the 'driving above wood' sound effect. For example, characters will immediatly play their 'recover' sound upon being respawned by Lakitu (instead of waiting a little bit). A lot of sounds don't have a delay, which makes a lot of them play quicker than usual.Races are missing several sound effects like wheelies, shells, Lakitu's sounds, etc.Some sound effects don't play properly, including: selecting the final OK button to start the race, the item siren, the item roulette, etc.

The title screen lacks gameplay demos or the opening movie, but the music still fades out expecting the scene to switch.

The green one measures the CPU sending commands to the GPU, the blue one shows the GPU rendering from said commands, and the red one displays the total frame time.

There's an instance of EGG's ProcessMeter, with three bars on the bottom of the screen.

The used one is game-specific, but there is an extra unused loop included in the EGG library, shared across multiple games ( EGG::ConfigurationData::run(void), which starts at RAM address 0x8024269c in PAL). The following Gecko code will enable this feature:Īlternative Main Loop with Performance Monitor The colors for each player also seem to be in line with the Wii's default, rather than the different format the game uses. It is very big, and player icon headlights are rendered on top of it, making it invisible when they overlap. There's a disabled feature in the minimap icons to display a line with the player number on it, similar to Double Dash!!.
