# Super Paper Mario: a selective matching Wii decompilation

> spm-decomp reconstructs selected Super Paper Mario code for Wii releases, chiefly the two PAL revisions, using decomp-toolkit and matching-object annotations. Its build reads a user-provided disc image; the project explicitly confines work to selected game components rather than the full game or a platform port.
