Metatiles
Metatiles are tiles that can be only placed in the game by Hex Editing.
Metatiles and the Editor
In Return to Wonderland, the level editor includes all normal tiles that are shown in the game. You can create odd Metatiles by Hex Editing. Metatiles are tiles that do not behave like normal tiles and cannot be found in the editor. There are over 50 Metatiles in RTW. One metatile exists currently in Wonderland Adventures.
Inserting Metatiles Into Levels
If a level that you're making will contain Metatiles, they should be added last because if the editor attempts to read the Hex ID of the Metatiles, the editor won't recognize the alien tile and will come up with a Memory Access Violation. It is recommended to place tiles you'd recognize to replace with Metatiles.
To change a tile to a Metatile, open up XVI32 and look at the data. The tiles are read in two bytes, followed by some 0's. Eg: 64 00 00 00 2C 01 00 00 64 00 00 00.... 2C 01 represents a water tile. If you want to change this to invisible water, change 2C 01 to 2D 01. Be careful, because you might change something wrong, causing the level to be designed the way you didn't want it. To see the tile IDs, look at the Metatile list found by the bottom of the page.
Explanation
Most Metatiles were never intended to be added to the game. Some Metatiles are for internal things and act strange when placed in a level. Metatiles are simply messed up versions of the existing tiles. For example:
Spikes Speed 1
Spikes Speed 2
Spikes Speed 3
Spikes Speed 4
Spikes Speed 5
...
Spikes Speed 91
Spikes Speed 92
Spikes Speed 93
Spikes Speed 94
Spikes Speed 95
There are only 4 normal spike speeds in Return to Wonderland. However, the spikes are formatted to go all the way up to speed 95. Break tiles are also programmed like this and can withstand up to 94 steps. There are copies of most Metatiles. Tiles that haven't been programmed are just walkable empty space tiles. Since tiles are read in two bytes, there are 65,536 tiles.
The most unusual and interesting tile is 38 08.

Wonderland Adventures Metatiles
Wonderland Adventures has currently only one metatile recently discovered by board user MyNameIsKooky. It is called Logic 5, and is called that because it is a tile with a special logic, like water and normal floor tiles. It was described being allowed to let Rainbow Magic through, yet act like a wall that allows diagonal movement along its edges, similar to a barrel. Board user StinkerSquad01 unofficially named it the Magic Wall.
