About Charge Value

When charging jet, the charge value increases by 1 every frame in RAM address ????.
The initial value of this address is 0, and this value stops increasing when Kirby stops charging. This value will continue to increase while Kirby charges, even at max charge, and will stop at 32767.
Below is a table that shows what RAM value corresponds to the Jet charge state.

Charge State RAM Value
No charge 0 - 5
Mid charge 6 - 40
Max charge 41 - 32767
