+The next 0x200 (dec: 512) bytes form another 16x16 array of little-endian two-byte values. They serve two functions:
   - One of the bits of the value (bin:wwwwxxxxyyyy-zzz) determines the priority of Samus' sprite relative to the background for the screen. Yes, really. They put it here of all places. It has no bearing on the screen transition.

 ===== Level Data Chunks =====
-I know how this works, but I gotta write it down first.
+the next 0x5900 (dec: 15104) bytes are the 59 level data chunks. each chunk is 16x16 bytes. each byte is one tile, and they are orginized 100% linearly. take the final chunk for example (which is, ironically, the first screen you ever see):

+all you really need to know to understand what I mean is that 7f is air tiles, and 39 is ground tiles. if you DO want to have a breakdown of tiles hex values, see [[return_of_samus:technical_information:tile_breakdown | Tile Breakdown]]
