A hotfix for 0.2.0, plus updates from inside the Android app. 0.2.0's downloads were taken down because of the bug below; 0.2.1 has everything 0.2.0 added, so if you're coming from 0.1.1, read the 0.2.0 notes too: Linux, older PCs, Spanish and French, audio sliders, fullscreen options, Android pausing in the background, and up to 50% more performance on older phones.

  • Fixed: wrong level tiles. In 0.2.0, Toad Houses (all of them, the yellow one included) and some courses, such as 5-1, could be drawn with the tiles of the course you played before, like World 1-1's grass in a Toad House. A 0.2.0 speed-up changed how the game notices that a new course's graphics were loaded, and missed some. It's undone, so courses always show their own tiles again. That speed-up was worth about 2% on a Pixel 3 XL, so performance is practically the same as 0.2.0.
  • Android: Check for Updates. A new button under Play on the start menu. It looks up the newest release here and, when there is one, downloads it, checks it against the checksum on this page and installs it. Your saves, settings and imported game are kept. The first time, Android asks you to allow installs from NSMBW and to confirm the update; on Android 12 and newer, later updates can install without asking again.
  • Android: Auto Update (off by default). Does the same each time you open the app. With Skip Start Menu on, the game opens as soon as the check finds nothing to install.

Updating from 0.1.1 or earlier: download the APK below as usual. Every update after this one can come through Check for Updates.

Tested on a Google Pixel 3 XL, a REVVL 7 5G and a Galaxy S26 Ultra (all Toad Houses and 5-1 checked on the Pixel), and on Windows and Linux.

Important

No game files are included. You need your own New Super Mario Bros. Wii (USA, SMNE01, revision 1), extracted with Dolphin. See Getting the game files.
