ExciteBike 64 Map Project

For a long time, I have theorized and discussed the ways Excitebike 64 loads segments of each course in order to explain strategies and skips I have discovered or refined. In this project I am creating simplified maps based on the minimap illustrations and watching the game's memory(at address: 0xDFF3A124) to illustrate this process. The boxes around the track are a rough estimation and due to the number of tracks I won't be striving for 100% accuracy or graphic aesthetics. The numbers displayed are taken directly from the address while driving on the ground in that section of track. The CHECK value indicated is 4294967295(hex FFFFFFFF) which is used repeatedly through all tracks. I am still investigating behavior and will update this as my understanding advances.
