In this post I am going to copy and paste lines of text from the files in the game that determine how the game functions, and provide a brief description of what it means/does after. There are going to be a wide variety of components that are in no particular order.
Shooting accuracy:
Shot Width Offset From Post = 0.25 # shots are aimed .25 frames away from the post
Shot Height Offset From Post = 0.15 # shots are aimed .15 frames below the crossbar
Shot Width Variance = 0.02 # how much the shot can vary side by side from the initial shot target
Shot Height Variance = 0.02 # how much the shot can vary in height from the initial shot target
As we all know you can control where your shot is aimed at by moving the control stick while charging a shot, and this means that the game will automatically lock onto a location .25 right/left and .15 below the post you have aimed at, and that each shot can then vary by .02 in any direction. Since the shots are further inside the post than they are below it, shots are more likely to hit the crossbar than the side posts. You may wonder "Well if the ball is .25 away from the post =, even if it varies .02 it still should never hit the post though, right?!?!??!?" Well this actually isn't true because these components are taken from the center of the ball and the center of the post. But as you know, the ball isn't 1 frame big and the post isn't 1 frame thin, so a shot with maximum variance can cause the 3d models of the post and the ball to collide.
Items:
Freeze Shell Frozen Time = 3.0 # how long a player stays frozen
Banana Time = 20.0 # how long a banana last if not touched
Chain Chomp Time = 5.5 # how long the Chain Chomp lasts
Chain Chomp Fall Time = 0.5 # How long it takes to fall
Chain Chomp Speed = 12.0 # how fast the Chain Chomp is
Chain Chomp Radius = 1.3 # how big the Chain Chomp is
Star Effect Time = 4 # how long a star lasts
Star Speed Boost = 1.1
Mushroom Speed Boost = 1.33
Mushroom Effect Time = 2.5
Shell Speed = 14
Shell Time = 7.5
Score Difference Minimum = 1 # score difference to start changing powerup chances
Score Difference Maximum = 10 # score difference that the maximum change is reached
Captain Special Base Chance = 0.05 # chance, when tied or up/down 1 goal, of getting a captain special
Shell Bounce Ground = 0.01 # Shell bounciness parameter when contacting ground **NOTE that this only applies when shells are thrown from the air and is rather useless, but in rare instances it will cause players to go under a shell**
Shell Bounce Other = 0.98 # Shell bounciness parameter when contacting walls **NOTE that this means that shells lose .02 or 2% of their speed when hitting a wall, ie a shell that has bounced 5 times will have lost 10% speed.**
Shell Small Radius = 0.35 #size of a small shell
Shell Big Radius = 1.0 # size of a big shell
**NOTE before you get into the item probability section below, please note that these are not overall chances, otherwise that wouldn't make sense. I have not found that file yet. These chances mean essentially, when this item is awarded, these are the chances of it being 1 vs 3 vs 5 of that item.**
Shell Big Chance = 1.0 # chance of getting a big shell **NOTE that this is 1.0 or 100%. You may ask, so why do triple shells exist? well this number is 1,0 because msc runs on the same engine as super mario strikers, in which single shells could be big, medium, or small like the triple shells are. This number means that all single shells are big shells. Below you see that triple shells have a 40% chance occurring when a shell item is awarded, meaning that 60% of shell items are big shells.**
Shell Three Chance = 0.40 # chance of getting triple shells
Shell Explode Chance = 0.33 # chance of the shell exploding when it is destroyed. **NOTE only applicable on big shells**
Banana Small Radius = 0.42 # size of small bananas
Banana Big Radius = 1.0 # size of big bananas
Banana Big Chance = 1.0 **NOTE refer to the note on the big shell, sms engine blah blah. If you add the chance of the five and three bananas, you'll notice you have a 25% chance of getting a single banana.**
Banana Five Chance = 0.5 # chance of getting five bananas
Banana Three Chance = 0.25 # chance of getting triple bananas
Banana Explode Chance = 0.0
Bobomb Small Radius = 0.4 # how big the explosion of small bombs are
Bobomb Big Radius = 1.1 # how big the explosion of big bombs are
Bobomb Big Chance = 1.0 **NOTE i think it should be obvious by now**
Bobomb Five Chance = 0.2 # chance of getting 5 bombs
Bobomb Three Chance = 0.6 # chance of getting triple bombs
Controlling:
Swap Controller No Swap Back Time = 0.3 # when you select off a player, this is how long it takes to re-select the original character
Passing:
# these variables are used to pick the pass target by aiming the joystick
Pass Distance Weight = 0.3 # distance versus angle weight dist=1.00
Pass Ideal Min Distance = 7 # ideal distance for pass target
Pass Ideal Min Range = 6 # ideal range for pass target (ideal dist +/- range)
Pass Ideal Max Distance = 10 # ideal distance for pass target
Pass Ideal Max Range = 12 # ideal range for pass target (ideal dist +/- range)
Pass Minimum Angle = 15 # angle at which the score is 1 (in degrees)
Pass Maximum Angle = 120 # angle at which the score is 0 (in degrees)
Volley Pass Distance Weight = 0.2 # distance versus angle weight
Volley Pass Ideal Min Distance = 9 # ideal distance for pass target
Volley Pass Ideal Min Range = 6 # ideal range for pass target (ideal dist +/- range)
Volley Pass Ideal Max Distance = 13 # ideal distance for pass target
Volley Pass Ideal Max Range = 10 # ideal range for pass target (ideal dist +/- range)
Volley Pass Minimum Angle = 15 # angle at which the score is 1 (in degrees)
Volley Pass Maximum Angle = 120 # angle at which the score is 0 (in degrees)
**NOTE the ideal min & max distances on passing is really what makes the difference. Most of the factors in passing are negated by the fact that the control stick is used to determine who the pass goes to, but occasionally the ideal pass distances will fuck that up for you. An example would be, have you ever tried bringing the ball upfield with one of your defenders, about to do a setup? If so then you should notice that you are going to have 2 attackers upcourt, one that is on the same side as you, and one that is on the opposite side. Now you need to pass to the opposing side player in order to make the shot from the setup, and so you point in that direction. But when you pass your pass goes to the near side player anyway and you miss the shot. This happens when the near player falls in the ideal pass distance and the far player does not, so the game auto locks onto the near player for you.**

This obviously is not everything. Anything I find useful to know that I discover later I will either add here by editing the post, or will create a separate topic if I feel that it needs more explanation or comparisons, for example I may create a character comparisons topic. Hope this is interesting to you, let me know what you think.
