The notes here are a bit unorganized, forgive the mess. text/html 2018-04-22T00:34:50+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.hack64.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mario_golf:hacking_tools&rev=1524357290&do=diff Mario Golf isn't as popular as the other N64 Mario games, so very few tools exist for this game.

The table is located at 0xE473F0 to 0xE4C078 in the ROM, and contains data that references blocks of data following the table. It appears that different types of data are contained in this table, since the level data only inhabits the data between 0xE473F0 and 0xE493A8.
