Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3: an exact-match disassembly

sma3-disasm reconstructs the US Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 ROM as Armips assembly. The author reports an exact full-ROM match and replaces ROM pointers with labels to support edits. Game graphics and sound are extracted from a user-supplied vanilla ROM, while the single-cartridge multiplayer region still needs research.
