| -Mario Kart DS and some other DS games have a common SWAR (SWAR 80 in MKDS). This SWAR is used in many SBNK files across the game, so changing it will probably cause other songs to sound wrong. The only way to fix this is to either not replace the file or change every SBNK that uses this SWAR. It is recommended to replace this SWAR if you are creating a full hack, but not if you are creating a one song music hack.\\ |
| -If you plan on creating a full Mario Kart DS hack, it is recommended to start with the goal, results, and starting grid music. This will allow you to create a basis for your common SWAR. The common SWAR only needs to be filled with instruments that are used in these songs, so it is a good idea to start with that and then you can leave it alone.\\ |
| -Additionally, in MKDS, SWAR 98 replaces SWAR 80 when playing online. SWAR 98 is much smaller than SWAR 80 but has all the same instruments. This means that if you want your hack to work online, you will need to make a lower quality version of your SWAR 80. SWAR 98 is ~59KB, but the limit can vary based on all your other SWARs.\\ |

| -If you plan on creating a full Mario Kart DS hack with a custom soundtrack, it is recommended to start with the goal, results, and starting grid music. This will allow you to create a basis for your common SWAR. The common SWAR only needs to be filled with instruments that are used in these songs, so it is a good idea to start with that and then you can leave it alone.\\ |
| -Additionally, SWAR 98 is a compressed copy of SWAR 80, and is sent to guests who do not own a copy of Mario Kart DS during local multiplayer sessions and is also used during multiplayer sessions over Wi-Fi. SWAR 98 exists due to the reduced size of sound heap in both of the aforementioned scenarios. This means that if you want your hack to work in most multiplayer relevant scenarios, you will need to make a lower quality version of your SWAR 80. SWAR 98 is ~59KB, compared to the ~81KB of the vanilla SWAR 80, but the limit will vary based on all your other SWARs, and your custom SWAR 80.\\ |
