The Better Final version is an unofficial improvement edit of Super Mario Star Road.
The playerbase commonly disagrees on which version of Star Road is best to recommend,
and they alternately point to versions such as 1.01, Deluxe and Final as the definitive ones,
referring to different weaknesses which each version has.

One particular point of criticism is the camera, which no version is held in high regard for.
Recently, an unofficial version which patches a parallel camera mode onto the game has become
the go-to for many new players.

Better Final is a slightly more refined alternative to the parallel camera edit.
It is based on the last official version which Skelux released (Final), and aims to
add the most basic and uncontroversial Quality of Life features to it in order to create the
most optimal version of this game which yet stays true to the original releases.

The list of additions goes as follows:

- Aglab camera mode
- Original Mario camera behavior
- Original vertical camera behavior
- 10 starting lives
- Shell boxes respawn
- Elevator fix
- Pole fix
- Fast ceiling climbing
- Blue coin switch preview
- Removed black bars
- Instant input / RCVI (for performance reasons)
