[https://gamebanana.com/mods/149607 Super Mario Sunburn] is a romhack that provides major quality of life enhancements, 60FPS, widescreen, bug fixes, and optional improvements, based on the Better Sunshine Engine. Most of the settings can be turned off for a more vanilla experience, including the bug fixes. The options menu can be accessed via the in-game options menu when selecting a save file. | |||
