NSMBW Mod ISO Builder is a tool that allows for combining .iso copies of NSMBW with Riivolution-style packs of installed plugins. The tool comes with several mod plugins included. A list of these can be found in the Included Mod Plugins section on this page.

NOTE: This tool is not necessary if you wish to run mods in the Dolphin Emulator, instead try this method here.

Included Mod Plugins

This will combine an .iso copy of NSMBW and Riivolution-style packs of any plugins installed. Included plugins are:

  • AnotherSMBW (by Skawo)
  • Awesomer Super Luigi Mini (If you have it)
  • CannonSMBW (by Leplap/Weland)
  • Epic Super Bowser World (by Leplap/Weland)
  • Newer Holiday Special (by The Newer Team)
  • Koopa Country (by hellofahedgehog)
  • NewerSMBW (by The Newer Team)
  • Retro Remix (by The Retro Remix Team)
  • Newer Summer Sun (by The Newer Team)

to create a standard .iso/.wbfs version of the selected Mod. .iso is now created sparse so as to save hard drive space.

It should work with All European and US versions, and Japanese v1 version.


Usage Guide

1. Extract contents of this .zip file to a new working directory. Get your .iso of NSMBW, and copy it to the same directory as the README file.

2. Run Build_ISO.bat, follow its prompts and wait for it to build the mod .iso.

3. Use/run the newly built .iso/.wbfs whatever way you would.

4. Enjoy!


Generated .isos have the following Game IDs:

Mod Name Game ID Alt ID
AnotherSMBW SMNX05 KMAX05
Awesomer Super Luigi Mini SMNX02 KMLX02
CannonSMBW SMNX04 KMDX04
Epic Super Bowser World SMNX08 KMEX08
Newer Holiday Special SMNX07 KMHX07
Koopa Country SMNX10 KMKX10
NewerSMBW SMNX03 KMWX03
Retro Remix MMRX09 KMRX09
Newer Summer Sun SMNX06 KMSX06

where X represents the letter for your base .iso's region (P for European, E for US, J for Japanese).


There are also options to:

  • Change the tmd/ticket ID to KMNX, Alt ID or Manual Entry to keep savegames separate from the original game's one in Data Management.
  • Download a custom banner for the .iso/.wbfs from AbdallahTerro's repository, or provide your own. Your .bnr files go in the "banners" folder, with the Mod's Game ID as its filename (e.g. SMN.03.bnr for NewerSMBW).


Possible Known Issue: It probably was already resolved, but untested. .iso output seems to be bugged for some people, the resulting .iso is good for use by backup manager to transfer to USB hard drive, but trying to load it directly (via burned disc, or emulator, etc.) seems to fail, it's not certain why. .wbfs output file seems to work perfectly though.
