→Coin counter rollover
| Line 558: | Line 558: | ||
If Mario collects more than 255 coins in a course, it will save a number less than or equal to 255 as the coin count record. For example, collecting a Star while the coin count is at 999 will record a coin count of 231 coins. The reason this happens is that the record's coin counter only saves the first byte of the level's coin data (which is stored in two bytes). The coin counter effectively rolls over while saving. If Mario collected 256 coins (or a number multiple of it, such as 512, and 768) in a level, it would be stored as 0.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dokE1J5wlhE A YouTube video explaining the glitch, by pannenkoek2012]</ref> | If Mario collects more than 255 coins in a course, it will save a number less than or equal to 255 as the coin count record.
