Overview
Boot straight into stage is a gecko code created by AdolescentSeagull. It allows a course to be entered in under 11 seconds right after the game boots with no interaction required from the user. The intention of this code is to assist with mod/hack development when a stage needs to be entered several times. The link is for a code generator that can currently generate a Gecko code with the following parameters:
- Desired course to boot into by course ID.
- Game mode - Currently Time Trials and Grand Prix are supported.
- Participating characters and karts.
- Engine Class - 50cc, 100cc, 150cc or Mirror.
Notes
- This is done by only loading the necessary content and not content such as the opening movie and menu data.
- At the beginning of boot, the text on the top left side of the screen represents the content that is currently being loaded.
- As a consequence of this code only being intended for rapid debugging, it may softlock or be buggy in certain areas, e.g. softlocking on the title screen after exiting a course, or potentially after a time trial has been completed.
- This is intended for a vanilla ISO patched with the Patcher, compatibility with Extended builds has not been looked into.
- Ghost Data will be ignored for Time trials.
- The audio and music can usually be heard 1 or 2 seconds after a course is loaded. This is most likely because at the beginning of a race, the audio has still not yet been fully loaded.
Todo
- Support Battle stages in all 3 battle modes.
- Support NTSC-J and PAL versions of Mario Kart Double Dash.
- Option to record the L variant of stage arcs and Luigi's 50cc Circuit.
- Any fixes to existing quirks and further optimisations.
