This page describes the ENPT settings of a KMP file. These settings control how the cpu acts, settings can force drift, item use, restrict to item in box and maybe even more.

Setting #1 at offset 0x10 (2 bytes)

ENPT settings at offset 0x10 (2 bytes)

Value	Meaning
0	Default.
1	At start of route: Only enter if you have an offroad cutting item.
2	Use (offroad cutting) item.
3	Wheelie.
4	End wheelie.
5	Unknown

Values 0x32–0x35, 0x37–0x39, 0x3B–0x3D, 0x3F, 0x41, 0x42, 0x46, 0x48, 0x49, 0x4B and 0x4C only found in winningrun_demo.

Battle arenas by Nintendo use values 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 — looks like a weight or scale.

Setting #2 at offset 0x12 (1 byte)

ENPT settings at offset 0x12 (1 byte)

Value	Meaning
0	Default.
1	End drift.
2	Forbidden drift, zigzag without drifting (unsure). Not used in battle arenas.
3	Force drift: The enemies will drift until the drift route is finished and the mini turbo is enabled. Use it for long curves (~1.5 sec). The drift direction depends on the angle in the first drift point (previous direction = previous to current point; next direction = current to next point). Not used in battle arenas.
10	Only found in standard routes of battle arenas. Meaning is unknown.
20	Only found in Dispatch Points of battle arenas. Meaning is unknown.

Setting #3 at offset 0x13 (1 byte)

The byte on 0x13 is a bit field - only the four highest bits are being used.

Highest bit (*(0x13) & 0x80): Unsure again, look here. In-game name "kinokoK".
2nd bit (*(0x13) & 0x40): Unknown. In-game name "Eflag2". Only found in winningrun_demo
3rd bit (*(0x13) & 0x20): Unknown. In-game name "Eflag3". Only found in winningrun_demo
4th bit (*(0x13) & 0x10): In combination with Eflag2: Stop. Only found in winningrun_demo

Battle arenas by Nintendo use only bit 0x80.

Recommendation

Set all parameters to value 0 and the AI will make good decisions about wheelies and drifting. The only exceptions are the values 1 and 2 of setting #1 (offset 0x10) for the offroad decision.

Combinations

If looking into all 32 racing tracks (not _d files) of Mario Kart Wii, we can find the following setting combinations. The slot numbers should help with a further analysis.
