The movement algorithm in Super Mario Kart (for the SNES) is more weird and counter-intuitive than I had initially thought, and there are many unanswered questions which make doing a good TAS of it very tough or impossible. I think a good understanding my only be possible by decompiling the game. I noticed here that some people had decompiled other games, and wondered if anyone had any advice on how to do it. I already have the addresses of many of the variables in RAM, could that help?

Disassembling, not decompiling. Large difference. Knowing RAM values might be of some help, I guess. It'll lead to figuring out what things do faster, if nothing else.

There must be a SHORT in your CIRCUIT. ;-) I vaguely remember that should be "Johnny number 5".

He was so annoying it would definitely be worth it to dissasemble him :) But the question is... did he get very fast turbo-boosts?
