Overview
This article describes the record type RACEDATA of the Network Protocol. It contains the player-specific race data of a client. Depending on the number of players using the console, one or two records are sent.
| Name | Amount | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLOT | 0-1 | 0x08 | Only used for redirected data via a proxy. The record identifies the original client by its slot number. |
| HEADER | 1 | 0x10 | A header for a race packet. |
| RACEHEADER_1 | 1 | 0x28 | A record with basic race data. |
| RACEHEADER_2 | 0-1 | 0x28 | A record with game-mode specific race data (not present in live view). |
| ROOM | 0-1 | 0x04 | A record containing a friend room message (not present outside friend room lobbies). |
| SELECT | 0-1 | 0x38 | A record containing data to set up a match (not present during races). |
| RACEDATA | 1-2 | 0x40 | A record containing race data for each player, such as positions or inputs. |
| USER | 0-1 | 0xC0 | A record containing user data such as Miis and friend codes. |
| ITEM | 1-2 | 0x08 | A record containing information about players' items. |
| EVENT | 1 | ≥ 0x18 | A record transmitting item events. |

Using the vector (0A, 4, 6) as an example, we would have a 6 bit number beginning at offset 0x0A bit 4 (MSB, mask 0x0f) and ending at offset 0x0B bit 1 (LSB, mask 0xc0).

The values described with "This bit flips ..." do not indicate when the action ends. When a certain action happens, its according bit would flip when it begins. The duration and end of the actual event are calculated by each console on their own.
Vectors
Position Vectors
The three coordinates of the position vector are sent as three 28 bit unsigned integers packed without padding. Getting the coordinate is done by adding 0x3f800000 as an unsigned integer to the raw value. Interpreting this 32 bit value as a single precision float and subtracting 1e6 would give the result.
Direction Vectors
It seems that 17 bits are also a minimized float, namely 1 bit sign, 2 bits exponent and 14 bits mantissa. After the sign bit is set, assume the value is 0. Shift it 9 bits to the left and add 0x3e800000. Interpreting this 32 bit value as a float and subtracting 1.0 would give a unit vector.
