+## [:rewind: Lua Reference](lua.md)
+
+# Hooks
+Hooks are a way for SM64 to trigger Lua code, whereas the functions listed in [functions](functions.md) allow Lua to trigger SM64 code.
+
+<br />
+
+## [Hook Event Types](#Hook-Event-Types)
+| Type | Description | Parameters |
+| :--- | :---------- | :--------- |
+| HOOK_UPDATE | Called once per frame | None |
+| HOOK_MARIO_UPDATE | Called once per player per frame at the end of a mario update | [MarioState](structs.md#MarioState) |
+| HOOK_BEFORE_MARIO_UPDATE | Called once per player per frame at the beginning of a mario update | [MarioState](structs.md#MarioState) |
+| HOOK_ON_SET_MARIO_ACTION | Called every time a player's current action is changed | [MarioState](structs.md#MarioState) |
+| HOOK_BEFORE_PHYS_STEP | Called once per player per frame before physics code is run | [MarioState](structs.md#MarioState) |
+
+<br />
+
+## [hook_event](#hook_event)
+
+The lua functions sent to `hook_event()` will be automatically called by SM64 when certain events occur.
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Field | Type |
+| ----- | ---- |
+| hook_event_type | [HookEventType](#Hook-Event-Types) |
+| func | Lua Function |
+
+### Lua Example
+
+The following example will print out a message 16 times per frame (once for every possible player).
+```lua
+function mario_update(m)
+    print('Mario update was called for player index ', m.playerIndex)
+end
+
+hook_event(HOOK_MARIO_UPDATE, mario_update)
+```
+
+[:arrow_up_small:](#)
+
+<br />
+
+## [hook_mario_action](#hook_mario_action)
+`hook_mario_action()` allows Lua mods to create new actions or override existing ones.
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Field | Type |
+| ----- | ---- |
+| action_id | integer |
+| func | Lua Function |
+
+### Lua Example
+
+```lua
