What you need: Your own Super Paper Mario Wii disc image as `.iso`, `.ciso` or `.wbfs`: the USA disc (`R8PE01`, revision 0) or the European disc (`R8PP01`). Windows 10 or 11 64-bit with a DirectX 12 or Vulkan graphics card, or 64-bit Linux from 2022 or newer (glibc 2.35) with Vulkan drivers.

New Super Paper Bros. is a native port of Super Paper Mario. The Wii game's PowerPC code is statically recompiled to C++ with the WiiCompiled tools, so it runs as a Windows or Linux program with no emulator. Builds for macOS and Android, including a RetroArch core, can be made from the source.

The game runs at up to 4K, in its original 4:3, in 16:9 or filling the window, or in a cinematic 2.39:1 frame, and frame interpolation raises it to 120, 180 or 240 fps. Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo pads and the keyboard can be remapped, the on-screen button prompts follow the controller in use, and the Wii Remote pointer used for Tippi and the HOME menu moves with the right stick or the mouse.

A launcher installs the game from the player's own disc image, switches mods on and off (folders that replace game files or textures) and imports a save from a Wii or from Dolphin, keeping the current one as a backup.

## How to set it up

1. Download the zip for Windows or the `.tar.gz` for Linux and extract it.
2. Open `New Super Paper Bros.exe` (on Linux, `New Super Paper Bros`). If Windows warns that the program isn't signed, choose More info, then Run anyway.
3. On the Play page, choose your disc image. The game's files are copied into the `Disc` folder once, and the image isn't needed after that.
4. Press PLAY. In the game, F10 opens the settings and F11 switches between fullscreen and a window.
5. To update, extract a new release over the old folder; the disc, saves, settings and mods are kept.
