Settings

Setting #2: Start or respawn place

This setting decides about the characteristic starting place or respawn place.

• Values between 0..49 are used for starting places. Nintendo used unique numbers, but it seems, that any mix is working. At some slots, numbers >50 (may be up to 100) will work too.
• The slots have different limits of usable starting places. It vary between 21 and 50 (in examination!).
• At battle start, all usable starting places starts with a coin.
• Respawn places have always value -1 (=65535) and generally used for respawned and new coins. On some slots they are used as starting place too, if the number starting places is to small.
• The total number of coins is limited by the total number of coin objects. Additionally, all slots have different absolute limits.

Setting #3: Spawning type

Nintendo uses types 0, 1 and 2. The tests of Wiimm additionally cover type 3:

• No differences between types 2 and 3 found.
• Type 0 and 1: Coins are inserted at place.
• Type 2 and 3: Coins fall down from the sky.
• Coins from starting places of all types except type 1 are moved to respawn places at the beginning of Phase 2 (see below).

Phases

It seems, that 3 phases exists for coins, but the details depending on the used slot.

• At the beginning, the game is in Phase 1: Coins are only available at start places. Only if <20 (value depends on slot) start places exists, respawn places are used as start places too.
• If a player is damaged (is respawned and maybe hit) Phase 2 begins: Coins from starting places of all types except type 1 are moved to respawn places.
• Phase 2 is also triggered, if about the half of the starting coins are caught. Some slots (e.g. A13 with less than 14 start places) starts direct in Phase 2.
• For some situations (number of starting points, slot), phase 2 is skipped.
• If in Phase 2 and a players is damaged and lost at least 1 coin, then Phase 3 begins: Coins, that were not inserted in Phase 1, become available and will be spawned time by time.
• Phase 3 is also triggered, if many coins from respawn places were caught.
• Some slots (e.g. A11 with less than 12 start places) starts direct in Phase 3.
