Editing Pikmin key parameters

<code>key.bin</code> is a general parameter file located in <code>..\dataDir\parms\</code>.  It is responsible for the mapping of inputs from Controller Port 1 to actions performable by Olimar.

==Notes==
Adding hexadecimal values together causes multiple buttons to be usable for a single action (i.e. <code>0x00016000</code> will make the B button, X button, and Z trigger all cause the same action).  This suggests that the translation of controller input to in-game actions is done with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing) Bitwise Operator Masking].

The values in the table above match the [[Pikmin_memory_addresses#Misc|values found at <code>0x80495d18</code>]] when controller input is given.

Parameter <code>0x08</code> only functions when set to the same button as parameter <code>0x00</code>

This file does not control:
* Any menu navigation whatsoever
* The radar screen (Y Button)
* Moving Olimar (Control Stick)
* Swarming pikmin (C-Stick)
* Camera controls (L, R, and Z triggers)
* Interacting with Onion nor SS Dolphin spotlights (A button)
* Pausing the game (Start button)
* Laying down (D-Pad)
