This page is dedicated to some notes about the MK8 KCL format, especially the global model octree and the new (unknown) fields in headers.

File Header Unknown Values

Seems to be related to total octree node count (at least Gu_Menu has 8 root nodes with 8 children = 64 nodes in all (1) models). Here are the values of all courses as shipped by Nintendo:
