Mario Kart 64 Textures

[queueRAM]

Included here is an archive of all the MK64 textures that I currently know about (3806 total). This includes MIO0 compressed, TKMK00 compressed, kart textures, and raw encoded textures.

​Download MK64 Texture Archive v5 (6.85MB)

Each image name is encoded as:
​OFFSET.[C_OFFSET.]FORMAT.png
​OFFSET = ROM offset of block
​C_OFFSET = offset in decompressed file (for MIO0 and TKMK00)
​FORMAT = one of RGBA16, RGBA32, IA8, IA4, I8, I4, CI8

​Examples

Quick comment to not forget here:


Pretty sure Lakitu's images start at 0x6A0ABC, CI encoded (though the images are surrounded by MIO0 encoded images so who knows where the palette data is). The first set with the lights is 56 pixels wide and somewhere between 70-80 pixels tall, and the second/third sets (waving a flag and holding up the lap signs) are a bit wider, though I don't know how much wider.

EDIT:


This too, it's either I or IA, not sure which.

Thanks for the Lakitu info. I see all the CI data, but haven't been able to track down the palettes. Usually the palettes are just before the group of textures that use them, but there are just MIO0 blocks immediately before and after the these. Still though, I was able to pin down the different Lakitu blocks and sizes. I'll keep looking at this.
6A0AC0-6C02BF: CI8 56x72 holding lights (32)
6C02C0-70EEBF: CI8 72x56 waving flag/lap sign (80)
70EEC0-712DBF: CI8 56x72 fishing (4)

Good find on those numbers. 15 is such an odd width! There are some other characters that follow them
7F8734-7F99F3: I8 15x32 numbers (10)
7F99F4-7F9CF3: I8 8x16 cc " ! . 0 ~ (6)
7F9CF4-7F9DC3: I8 not sure (almost looks like 13x16?)

7F9EC4-7F9FC3: I8 8x16 all FF white (2)

I've also tracked down a lot of the remaining CI8 encoded HUD textures from MIO0 block 0x132B50

Awesome work! Do you care to update the main post with the information? That way later on it'll be easier to find the information you have gathered.

My plan is to work out a few more textures (e.g., Lakitu) and rip the karts properly. Then I'll release a new texture archive and update the main post and document it in the wiki.

For now, just tearing through more textures. I found the neon background textures from Rainbow Road in MIO0 Block 00872A00, plus some others. The mushroom, Mario, and Boo use palette switching to animate. The others are static.
MIO0 872A00: Rainbow Road
Neon background images
Palette at 5C00 may be common all black palette?
Texture   Offset  Palette(s)
Mushroom   08000  5400 5600 5800 5A00
Mario      09000  5E00 6000 6200 6400 6600
Boo        0A000  6800 6A00 6C00 6E00 7000
Peach      0B000  7200
Luigi      0C000  7400
D.K.       0D000  7600
Yoshi      0E000  7800
Bowser     0F000  7A00
Wario      10000  7C00
Toad       11000  7E00


12028: RGBA16 32x64 low poly looking sphere?
13028: RGBA16 32x32 reflective chain chomp
13828: RGBA16 32x32 gold-looking circle
14028: RGBA16 32x32 tongue
14828: RGBA16 32x32 eyeball


Example replacing D.K. with this shy individual. Used n64ci to convert from image to CI8 + palette.

Finally uncovered the CI palettes for Lakitu, finish line banner, and some trees. They are scattered throughout MIO0 block 132B50. I'm still unable to locate the green, red, and spiny shell, boo, and some plant palettes.
ROM                 Palette Description
6A0AC0-6A88BF  (8)  24ED8   CI8 56x72 holding lights
6A88C0-6B84BF (16)  250D8   CI8 56x72 holding lights-red
6B84C0-6C02BF  (8)  252D8   CI8 56x72 holding lights-blue
6C02C0-6DFABF (32)  254D8   CI8 72x56 waving flag
6DFAC0-6EF6BF (16)  256D8   CI8 72x56 2nd Lap sign
6EF6C0-6FF2BF (16)  258D8   CI8 72x56 Final Lap sign
6FF2C0-70EEBF (16)  25AD8   CI8 72x56 Reverse sign
70EEC0-712DBF  (4)  25CD8   CI8 56x72 fishing


Finish Line banner is broken into 8 MIO0 blocks and uses CI palette at offset 0x0 in MIO0 block 132B50.

697B10 64x32 CI8
697E80 64x32 CI8
69811C 64x32 CI8



Most of the trees use the same CI palette at offset 0x4C68 in MIO0 block 132B50.

MK64 texture archive v3 posted. Realized I saved these to the wrong directory, so they didn't make it in v2:

• ​Yoshi's Valley porcupine
  
• ​Rainbow Road neon signs and chain chomp
  
• ​Ceremony trophy and podium number textures
