This article describes the file /Race/Course/koopa_course.szs/course.0 of the Mario Kart Wii DVD (PAL and NTSC release). Read »Filesystem« for an introduction.

Description

This file is a unique file across all courses, but it appears to be a representation of Bowser's Castle prior to compilation into an SZS file. The file was possibly included in the final build of the game by mistake. The file has been of great use to hackers, as it contains meta data describing the format of courses, and revealing much information about the KMP file format. The file appears to have been created 2007/08/30 11:50 by Yabuki Kosuke using a piece of software called JMap. It seems as though this was prior to the development of much of Mario Kart Wii as it seems to describe features from Mario Kart DS, suggesting that the JMap software was written for Mario Kart DS.
