Syreyup: Added some event cameras in no particular order. Just did a small bit for now, got some other stuff to work on. stopped specifying "for camera set ID XXX" after a while, as it felt a bit unnecessary, however, edit if you disagree of course! (also added small "how to use" things for convoluted things, however if you dont see it fits, then feel free to remove it lol!)

{{WIP}}

The ''Galaxy'' games use cameras to create a good view of the game's 3D scene. There are many different types to fulfill this purpose, all of which are detailed on this page. Each stage (galaxies, zones, ...) comes with a file that specifies all the camera setups to be used. The format of these files is specified [[#BCAM Format|below]].

==Contexts==
Cameras are used in a lot of different contexts and may be triggered through various means, including:
* Camera areas (''CameraArea'', ''CubeCameraBox'', etc.) once they are entered. More information [[#Cube|below]].
* Spawn points (''Mario'' entries in a zone's ''StartInfo'' file) once the player respawns there. More information [[#Start|below]].
* Warp Pipes once they are entered or left.
* When the player rides Launch Stars or Sling Stars.
* When the player swims underwater or on the water's surface.
* When the player uses the Flying Power-Up.
* While talking to an NPC.
* Various objects and enemies use special cameras, such as ''SimpleDemoExecutor'', ''JumpBeamer'', ''Poihana'' and ''BegomanSpring''.
* Cutscenes use various cameras to change the view.

==BCAM Format==
All camera parameters for a zone (and some objects) are stored in a special [[BCSV (File format)|BCSV]] file called ''CameraParam.bcam''. For zones, the file is located in ''Stage/camera'' of a ''Map'' archive. Not all files will contain all known camera fields in order to save some space. These optional fields are only added when necessary. The following table lists all fields, their default values, data type and whether they are always present or not.

==Camera ID Names==
The ''id'' field of a camera parameter entry is a special ID name that specifies the camera's usage context. Every entry should have a unique ID name. The camera ID is categorized into five different categories which are described below.

===Cube===
Cube cameras are cameras which are referenced from a camera area (''CameraArea'' in Super Mario Galaxy 2, ''CubeCamera'', ''CubeCameraBox'' etc in Super Mario Galaxy). When the player is inside a camera area, it activate the referenced camera. If multiple camera areas interesect, the area with the highest priority (''Obj_arg2'') will be selected. The camera area's ''Obj_arg0'' value specifies the ID number of the camera to be used. Using this value, the game generates an identifier string using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string printf format string] '''c:%04x'''. For example, if your camera area has an ''Obj_arg0'' of 15, the corresponding camera ID name would be ''c:000f''. Note that the hexadecimal digits must be lowercase.

===Start===
Start cameras are used when a camera is referenced from a start point. Every player spawn point (''Mario'' entries in a zone's ''StartInfo'') can activate a camera once the player respawns there. Just like camera areas, the game constructs an identifier string from the spawn point's ''CameraSetId'' which will be used to locate the parameters for the camera. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string printf format string] is '''s:%04x'''. For example, if your ''Mario'' entry has a ''CameraSetId'' of 60, the corresponding camera ID name would be ''s:003c''. The hexadecimal digits must be lowercase. If the ''CameraSetId'' is negative, no camera will be used.

===Event===
Event cameras are cameras which are used for different events. One example of an event camera is Mario's intro flying, which is shown when entering all galaxies. Event cameras have the format "e:S:XXX:YYY" where S is the event name, XXX is the camera set ID in lowercase hex and YY is the event index, also in lowercase hex. Most event consists of multiple cameras, which is what YY is used for. For example, the camera for the second Mario's intro flying, with the camera set ID 5 would be "e:シナリオスターター:005:01番目". The following table shows known event cameras:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ID !! Description
|-
| e:シナリオスターター:XXX:YY番目 || Scenario start camera YY.
|-
| e:スーパースピンドライバー:XXX:YY番目 || Super spin driver camera YY. Camera 00 is used when Mario enters the launch star, and 01 and up are used for when Mario is flying.
|-
| e:スーパースピンドライバー固有出現イベント用XXX || Super spin driver appearance event camera for camera set ID XXX.
|}

===Group===
Group cameras have unknown usage, but has the format "g:S" where S is the group name.

===Other===
Other cameras are used for various cameras which does not belong to any of the previously described categories. The ID follows the format "o:S" where S is the name. The following table shows known other cameras:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! ID !! Description
|-
| o:デフォルトカメラ || Default camera to be used if no other camera is active or available.
|-
| o:デフォルト水中カメラ || Default camera to be used when the player is swimming underwater.
|-
| o:デフォルト水面カメラ || Default camera to be used when the player is swimming on water surface.
|-
| o:デフォルトフーファイターカメラ || Camera to be used when the player is using the Flying Power-Up.
|-
| o:ズームカメラ || The first person's view camera.
|}

==Camera Classes==
There are ''many'' fine-tuned camera classes to choose from. The ''camtype'' field of a camera entry specifies what class to use. The available classes in the ''Galaxy'' games are:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Identifier !! Japanese Name !! Class Name !! Used in SMG1? !! Used in SMG2? !! Description !! Parameters
|-

===Aliases===
Likely for the purpose of preserving compatibility with test camera files, the developers added aliases for some camera classes. These exist in both ''Galaxy'' games. However, these aliases only apply if the camera version is greater or equal to the required version. Interestingly, it also contains an alias for ''CAM_TYPE_BOSS_DONKETSU'', a camera class that has been removed from the actual game.

==Trivia==
* The oldest available camera version is 196617 and can be found in ''HellLavaFloatingZone''.
* The function ''CameraParamChunk::load'' references a removed camera class labeled as ''CAM_TYPE_PLANET''.
* Intro cameras dynamically create a ''CAM_TYPE_ANIM'' camera with the ID ''o:スタートアニメカメラ''. It is not possible to overwrite this in a BCAM file.
