Level ID
Each game level is assigned a single character code which signifies the internal name of the level. This character can be a decimal digit (0-9), an uppercase or lowercase ASCII letter (a-z, A-Z), an underscore (_) or an exclamation point (!). For letters, this character is case-sensitive, for instance level g is different from level G.
Some levels are more appropriately identified as game states: for example, level ID 19 in Crash 1 refers to the entire title sequence, main menu, options and password menus, map, and game over screen.
Each level's character code is associated with a number. The hexadecimal reading of this number determines the name of the NSD/NSF file pair which contains the game data for that level. For example, Cold Hard Crash has level code j which matches hex ID 13; therefore, its data is held in the files S0000013.NSD and S0000013.NSF.
Tables matching level names to character codes and hex values for each game are presented below.
