They mentioned that in SMB, the total level data takes up only 3.4 kB which is impressive considering that I always thought it would take up almost half of the cartridge space. Now I'm curious. I know how convoluted and game-specific SMB's level compression engine is. I wonder how much ROM space the code for the level compression is. It will be pretty ironic if the compression routine ended up being larger than the data itself.
