Mario Kart 2 for NES

Project Title: NES Mario Kart 2
Project Date: July 2017

Original Game: RC Pro-Am 2 (1992)
Platform: NES
Coding Language: 6502 Assembly

Summary: Turned RC Pro-Am 2 into a Mario Kart game by solving the compression algorithm of the graphics.

Some Techniques Used:

• Used a hex editor, debugger, and code logger to discover the compressed sprite graphics location.
• Reverse engineered compression algorithm

Completed game features:

• Created sprites by manually inputting compressed graphic data into a Hex Editor as opposed to using a tile editing tool.
• Created sprites using multiple layered approach in order to achieve a higher color count.
