Super Mario Advance 4: an exact-match Armips disassembly

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 U rev 1 is reconstructed as Armips assembly that the author reports reassembles to an exact ROM match. The project replaces ROM pointers with labels and supplies scripts to extract required graphics and sound data from the player's original ROM. A Wii U Virtual Console variant is supported when its data is supplied.
