Nice job on your first loop code!

Codes don't always have to make a game easier.
Normally, the game decreases your Elements quantity by 0x1 (0x3F800000 floating point).
So...
Monster Mayhem: Build and Battle Wii (U)
Element Decrement By Modifier
C21CB76C 00000003
3D608000 3D80ZZZZ
918B03C0 C04B03C0
EC211028 00000000
Source:
Original code line
0x801CB76C fsubs f1, f1, f2
Changed to:
lis r11, 0x8000 #ASM Load upper half word of EVA address to store modifier value to
lis r12, 0xZZZZ #ASM Load modifier value to store in EVA
stw r12, 0x3c0 (r11) #ASM Store modifier value at EVA address 0x800003C0
lfs f2, 0x3c0 (r11) #ASM Load f2 with value to be subtracted
fsubs f1, f1, f2 #ASM Subtract it
ZZZZ
0x4000 = 0x2
0x4040 = 0x3
0x4080 = 0x4
0x40A0 = 0x5
Anything above 0x5 is just silly!!!

On any of the Wii games you have been making codes for in the past, you should revisit them and try to make speed/xyz-coordinate type codes since you have learned the basics of Floats.
Nice work

Speed Boost x4/Walk Through Walls (Press C) [Use K Pad Read Hook Type]
C2037858 00000007
3D808062 A16C54BA
2C0B4000 40820020
3D608066 616B994C

0x806254BA Button activator half-word Address
0x8066994C Max Speed value loaded from this address on the stack (r4)
0x80C2CD24 Speed modifier address (r3)
Insert address 0x80037858 (also showing store code directly following):
0x80037858 lfs f0, 0x0 (r4)
0x8003785C stfs f0, 0x0 (r3)
***I was basing all my codes that worked in Dolphin, but not on the Wii, on the store portion of this routine.
Once I focused on the load portion (and changed the hook type to K Pad Read), the code worked flawlessly on the Wii.
Source:
lis r12, 0x8062 #ASM Load upper half word of button activator address
lhz r11, 0x54BA(r12) #ASM Load r11 with value at button activator address
cmpwi r11, 0x4000 #ASM Check to see if the C button is pressed. If not, default_load
bne- default_load
lis r11, 0x8066 #ASM Load upper half word of address max speed value is to be loaded from
ori r11, r11, 0x994C #ASM Load lower half word of address max speed value is to be loaded from
cmpw r4, r11 #ASM Check to see if that address is being held in r4. If not, default_load
bne- default_load
lis r12, 0x40F8 #ASM Load upper half word of max speed modifier value into r12
ori r12, r12, 0x1480 #ASM Load lower half word of max speed modifier value into r12
stw r12, 0(r4) #ASM Store speed modifier value at address in r4, which is to be loaded into f0
default_load:
lfs f0, 0(r4) #ASM Load speed modifier value into f0
This is then directly followed by:
0x8003785C stfs f0, 0x0 (r3)

The way you are structuring you C2 ASM Codes to include button activator instructions within th esource should not be needed in most cases and probably has something to do with why your codes fail on certain Hooktypes for the different Wii games you are working on.
If you ever run into a situation where you want the C2 Hook Address's Instruction to be executed whenever the button activator is not pressed, structure the C2 code like so..
04xxxxxx oooooooo #xxxxxx = C2 Hook Address, #oooooooo = Default/Original Instruction
283XXXXX YYYYZZZZ #16-bit If-Equal statement (button activator line))
C2xxxxxx 000000XX
.. .. .. .. #Somewhere in source is default/original instruction ofc
E0000000 80008000 #End If Statement via Final Terminator
You can rewrite the source of your ASM code like this...
lis r12, 0x8066
ori r12, r12, 0x994C
cmpw r4, r12
bne- default_instruction
lis r12, 0x40F8
ori r12, r12, 0x1480
stw r12, 0 (r4)
default_instruction:
lfs f0, 0 (r4)
And thus the finished code is this..
04037858 C0040000
286254BA YYYYZZZZ
C2037858 00000005
3D808066 618C994C
7C046000 40820010
3D8040F8 618C1480
91840000 C0040000
60000000 00000000
E0000000 80008000
This compiled code is longer by 1 line than your version, but it allows the end user to choose whether or not the button activator is the condition of "only can be pressed" or the condition of "at least pressed". Not only that, formatting your C2 Button Activated codes in this way should reduce the Hooktype issues.
If you are running into scenarios where you are doing 'address checks' in your sources, based on my experience, the code is 'hacky', and needs a better Hook Address or try finding some pattern/correlation in the GVRs.
Off-topic tips:
if you ever need to set an FPR to 0, do this
fsubs fZ, fX, fX #use fsub if double precision
To set an FPR to 1, do this...
fdivs fZ, fX, fX #use fdiv if double precision. fX cannot be 0.
Another note is be on the lookout for some FPRs (during time of Hook address execution) that may always be 0 or 1. Therefore you don't even need the above instructions.

Serious use of EVA for pointer and conditionals for a code that works in all gameplay modes without giving the AI infinite health also.
[Insert/Original Code]
0x814221F8 sth r25, 0(r18) #ASM This is storing the # of AI selected in the match option screen
[Insert]
loc_0x0:
lis r11, 0x9196 #ASM Load upper half-word of address # of AI stored at
ori r11, r11, 0x5C50 #ASM Load lower half-word of address # of AI stored at
cmpw r11, r18 #ASM Check that it is only writing # of AI address
bne+ default_code #ASM If not equal, AI # not being written to
lis r12, 0x8000 #ASM If equal, load upper half-word of EVA address
subi r11, r25, 0x2F #ASM Subtract 0x2F from r25 for 4 bit value that equals P1 + number of AI selected
The values in r25 is in this format: 0x0033 = 3 AI, 0x0035 = 5 AI etc...
Subtracting 0x2F from r25 leaves me with 4 bit representation of P1 + AI Qty.
The reason I did this is for use in another insert to follow.
stw r11, 0x3E4(r12) #ASM Store value of P1 + number of AI at EVA 0x800003E4; this is used in a conditional,
in the following insert below.
default_code:
sth r25, 0(r18) #ASM Default AI quantity select store
[Insert/Original Code]
0x80BDC8D0 stfs f0, 0x10 (r31) #ASM Stores beginning health value to P1 and AI; Code is executed (# of AI + 1 for P1) times.
P1 health value is always the first to be stored Yay!!!.
[Insert]
loc_0x0:
stfs f0, 0x10(r31) #ASM Default code; Stores beginning health value to P1 and AI
lis r11, 0x8000 #ASM Load upper half-word of EVA address

cmpwi r12, 0x0 #ASM See if it is the first write

bne+ not_me #ASM If not the first cycle don't write health value address to EVA

#Reset write cycle counter for next dogfight, race or story mode level

stw r12, 0x3E8(r11) #ASM Store updated write cycle count in EVA
The portion that gives P1 infinite health:
[Insert/Original Code]
0x80BDCE3C stfs f0, 16(r31) #ASM Stores decreased health value after damage
[Before Insert]
040003EC 42C80000 #ASM Write full health floating point value in EVA

loc_0x0:

Great work! This is by far your most complex code yet. Keep it up!
