NSMB source code never leaked, or did I miss something?<p>So assuming they&#x27;re looking at a decompiled ROM, the actual sources probably look completely different so it&#x27;s pretty inane to complain about ugly loops and lookups and hardcoded numbers.<p>The weird looping in the beginning might as well be an attempt at obfuscation meant precisely to annoy and distract readers like OP. Or if it&#x27;s an artefact of some dev&#x2F;debug feature left in the build: Big deal, really got them there.
