-The rest of the material data is made up of a number of subsections. These subsections generally set different texture slots, as well as other parameters like Konst colors and material opacity. There's no count for the number of subsections; it needs to be read in using a while loop. The "END " section denotes the end of the material.

There's no count for the number of subsections; it needs to be read in using a while loop. The <code>END </code> section denotes the end of the material.
 The order of the subsections doesn't matter. One material can only have one of each type of subsection; if there's any additional ones, they will overwrite the previous ones.
-There are three subsection types (aside from END): PASS, CLR, and INT. Each of these types has a number of subtypes.

 == Material Set Format ==
-Materials come as part of a set; although most files will only have one set, some CMDLs will have more, as indicated by a count value in the header. The set format is merely a 32-bit count value followed by that number of materials.
+Materials come as part of a set; although most files will only have one set, some CMDLs will have more, as indicated by a count value in the header. The set format is merely a 32-bit count value followed by that number of materials. In Metroid Prime 3, each material set will be in its own CMDL/MREA section, but in DKCR each set will be in the same section.

 The format for '''materials''' saw a dramatic overhaul in Metroid Prime 3. The format is seen in both the CMDL and MREA formats and is identical in both. This particular material format appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
