This video is a how to change the racers in Super Mario Kart. A few people have asked me how to do this, so I made a video of the way I changed the racers. You may have to watch it more than once as there is a lot of information.

are u sure this works? looks like hard to do... oh and can i also use a different emulator!

[DirtbagD]

No the whole video is one big prank! Seriously though it does work, I'm not sure why you'd think it would work, it's all in the video...Sorry to say it's just not easy.

I edited Mario's straight foward tiles but it only apears on the small map... lol help please?

[DirtbagD]

If it only is on the small map then you have edited one of the smaller Mario's, scroll further up and you will see the full size Mario in the ROM

whats a rom header

[DirtbagD]

A header is data that has been put on to the front of the ROM file by the copy unit that was used to dump the ROM Image. This tends to be 512bytes or 200(in hex) This is data is not in on the actually game ROM.

Where can I download Tile Molester?

@xLightningWolFx I think you used MSpait and hit " SAVE" Instead of "SAVE AS" When you edited the drivers. This makes the picture file larger, which DirtbagD said not to do.

How do you change the names of the racers? I finished my character but it still says "MARIO" when I've played it. I've searched all over the internet with no luck.
