Water stage catalog

Scope: Stage-local catalog for Water, compact selector 2 / native stage ID 2. Shared record grammar, resource notation, evidence labels, and safety rules are owned by Stage catalogs. Cross-stage Health-urn materialization/conversion mechanics are deliberately not owned here.

Stage identity and evidence

  • Static-confirmed: all nine ordinary pickup records, all 29 stock outer slots, and the recognized resource records below are decoded from the clean USA N64 ROM.
  • Runtime-confirmed: the complete 0x64E0-byte stage resource file was matched byte-for-byte at RDRAM 0x802504A8 during live Water gameplay.
  • Runtime-confirmed: the all-eight-stage persistence validation collected/restored a representative Water ordinary pickup. The nine Water records have not been individually exhausted one by one in runtime testing.
  • Water's three stage key pickups use stage-qualified overlay callback VA 0x802F2448; this address is Water-overlay evidence, not a globally resident callback identity.

Water-specific notes, constraints, and pending questions

  • Enemy-pair sizing (2026-09-28): the user-supplied Water profiler peak 0x80284940 yields 0xC050 observed headroom and a 0x34520 two-fighter replacement ceiling for that route under unchanged later allocations. Files 0x22+0x23 conditionally sharing the 0x1210 duplicate still total 0x40B90, leaving 0xC670 to prove removable. Player-controller action indices 0xE/0xF do not make ordinary GRUNT assets live. Water raw overlay 0xA1 has no direct 0x800321D0 call or +0x6B2 halfword store. Shared permanent reaction 0x800328FC → 0x80053D28 remains conditional on nonzero process +0x6B2; 0x80053D28 morphs GRUNT2 to GRUNT1/file 0x22 before selecting root 0x1E. Ordinary class-2..4 victims can take a stock player Slide reaction 0x2D, which directly reaches file-0x22 root 0x1E after GRUNT2 morph; its seven-frame/model-0 closure is Static-confirmed. The separate later reaction-0/0x19 overlap needed for 0x800328FC → 0x80053D28 remains Pending. See Enemy randomization for the static trace and caveats.

  • The complete 0x64E0-byte ROM resource file matches RDRAM at 0x802504A8 byte-for-byte in live Water gameplay.

  • All nine standard 0x30-byte pickup records are contiguous and mapped: three Water icons, two Health urns, and one each of Extra-life urn, Herbs, mana, and Potion.

  • The supplied Lua comments identify slot 26 as mana and substitute Herbs in the virtual item pool; the native callback 0x80038A58 and presentation pointer 0x800B1C14 remain distinct from Herbs.

  • Water's progression metadata remains stage-local: Water Three Bars requires water-triangle; Water Moon requires water-three-bars; the second Health urn requires water-moon.

  • Native ID correction (2026-09-29): callback 0x802F2448 awards callback_parameter + 0x14; the cataloged Triangle / Three Bars / Moon records use parameters 0/1/2. Therefore native inventory IDs are Triangle=0x14, Three Bars=0x15, Moon=0x16. The future-global logical catalog had the first two labels inverted and is corrected in the same research branch.

  • Checkpoint/progression static split (2026-09-29): all three Water keys increment/store 0x802C18F8 and request 0x80062D60; parameter 1 also updates live overlay flag 0x802F2980, which has multiple independent Water-overlay readers and must be preserved. Permanent item-use handlers 0x800722B8 / 0x80072304 / 0x80072350 commit native progression bits independently. Minimal checkpoint-suppression candidate NOPs only ROM 0xBA60C and 0xBA610. Static-confirmed; runtime Pending. Runtime update (2026-10-01): TEST LAB remaining-key no-checkpoint v01 Runtime-confirms checkpoint-free logical awards for Triangle / Three Bars / Moon with correct inventory identity. The product rule is therefore closed: Water key pickup must not create a checkpoint. Native Water progression state such as 0x802F2980 remains destination-owned and must be preserved separately when production wrappers are implemented.

  • Water selector-writer census / location guard closure (2026-10-01, Static-confirmed): raw Water overlay file 0xA1 (ROM 0xB4FC0..0xBAF5F, load base 0x802ECE30) contains exactly four direct halfword writes to 0x802C18F8: ROM 0xB5384 increments the selector in the overlay init/reset path; 0xB8BA8 assigns absolute selector 4; 0xB9338 increments in a separate scripted transition; and key callback 0x802F2448 increments at ROM 0xBA60C. The generic player spawn resolver 0x8003BF4C uses selector s>=2 as spawn-table entry s-1. Water spawn-table coordinates therefore bind the three physical key locations to selector targets 2 / 3 / 5: Triangle matches entry 1, Three Bars entry 2, and Moon entry 4. Combined with the stock relative callback, their intended location transitions are 1→2, 2→3, and 4→5. This is the same stale-relative-transition hazard proven in Wind: a randomized non-key reward left at one of these physical locations must not blindly execute selector += 1 when visited after the stage has advanced. Production destination wrappers should guard exact predecessors and commit the corresponding absolute target; otherwise leave the current selector unchanged. This finding does not imply changing the separate init/script transitions at 0xB5384/0xB9338, whose lifecycle is not made reorderable by ordinary-item randomization.

  • Slot 28 is Water's Health-urn resource: an external-resource-id-bundle with four records using external IDs 0x28F..0x292; both Water Health-urn pickup records select this slot.

  • Static-confirmed Water source fact: the raw payloads behind Health-urn IDs 0x28F..0x292 were located in Water's compressed source package, global file ID 0x73 (file-table entry ROM 0x000A5574), with raw byte lengths 340, 272, 272, 272. The cross-stage conversion method and Proof G/H outcomes are owned by Global item materialization and solvability.

  • Water's slot-27 Potion is an embedded-data bundle. Its embedded frames supplied the Water side of the storage-form equivalence check against Fire external Potion payloads 0x27F..0x286; the generalized conclusion remains on Global item materialization and solvability.

  • Occupied selectors without ordinary pickup users remain protected because other Water actors or scripts may reference them. Slot 7, for example, aliases outer offset 0x10C used by the Water Moon bundle but has no ordinary-pickup user.

  • Empty stock selectors 8, 9, 11..19 are logical selector capacity only. Per the shared schema, they are not evidence of free physical file bytes or production-safe allocation space.
