KAR-Decomp: an annotated Kirby Air Ride disassembly

KAR-Decomp uses decomp-toolkit to build an annotated Kirby Air Ride disassembly that preserves ROM offsets and adds or revises symbol names. Its DTK branch contains assembly and reports a compiling North American version; the Japanese and PAL editions currently generate splits and assembly.
