New Super Paper Bros. v1.0.3

New

• Linux version: download NewSuperPaperBros-linux.tar.gz, unpack it and open New Super Paper Bros (same launcher as Windows). Needs 64-bit Linux from 2022 or newer with Vulkan drivers. It's new, so please report any problems.
• European disc support (R8PP01), in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian: pick the language on the launcher's Play page.
• The start screen and the "hold the remote" screen show the controller you're using.
• Saves are kept separately for each disc.

Fixed

• European version: the music played too slow and low (#37).
• An error box could pop up and freeze the game when closing it (#38).
• Arcade games now work with a controller: aim with the right stick, and in Tilt Island tilt with the left stick (#35).
• Hedges disappearing in 3D, like in front of the mansion in 2-2 (#32). Mario could also go missing in a few scenes.
• Background layers flickering at 120/180 FPS, most visible in 3D (the mansion behind the mountains in 2-1) and on the hedges in 2-2 (#24).
• The zip now unpacks into its folders with any program (7-Zip, WinRAR, Linux, macOS), not only Windows' own.
• The controls window could get stuck open after Chapter 1-2 (#7).

Windows: unzip NewSuperPaperBros.zip over your old folder. Your disc, saves and settings are kept.

New Super Paper Bros. v1.0.2

• Controller button icons: on-screen buttons now match your controller (Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo), and the Controls screen (−) shows your controller with every action, including stylish moves.
• Fixed: stylish moves now work with RB/RT (R/ZR, R1/R2) (#2).

Unzip over your old folder. Your disc, saves and settings are kept.

New Super Paper Bros. v1.0.1

• Save import: bring your saves over from a Wii (data.bin) or Dolphin with Import Wii / Dolphin save... on the Play page.
• Fixed: doors now open and close; no more black box when flipping to 3D or switching characters.

Unzip over your old folder. Your disc, saves and settings are kept.
