Proposed merge of List of Super Mario 64 ROM hacks, mods and ports into Super Mario 64

Closed with a clear consensus to merge it into List of unofficial Mario media. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

This list article has major WP:OVERLAP issues, with most of the descriptions being copied from the main Super Mario 64 article and altered. This list article is also very short, only being 426 bytes (76 words). I suggest this article be merged into either Super Mario 64#Fan projects or List of unofficial Mario media.

Platformer or not?

Is this really a platformer? Its seems more like an adventure game than a platformer. 112.215.235.237 (talk) 09:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Make the Plot section its own heading, as it is not part of the gameplay in any way. 2603:6010:8B45:FA00:45FE:5C33:2527:51A8 (talk) 00:55, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Backwards longjump redirect

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Backwards longjump should redirect here. I changed it in a previous version, but it was reverted. I don't think it was vandalism, as the person who changed it seems to be busy dealing with vandalism. 2600:4040:208F:2A00:648F:6623:3C97:CF04 (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Change and rework the Fan Projets section to show who the authors and creators of the listed romhacks, games, etc are.

//

  • Super Mario 64: Chaos Edition, made by Kaze Emanuar, is a PC-emulated version of the original that loads codes which cause bizarre behavior. The game received coverage after streaming ensemble Vinesauce posted a playthrough of the game.[1][2]
  • Super Mario Run 64, made by Kaze Emanuar, converts the game into a 2.5D running game in the spirit of Super Mario Run[3]
  • Super Mario 64 Online, made by a small team of people including Mario Redar, Kaze Emanuar, "MelonSpeedruns" and "Marshivolt", it enables online multiplayer.[4][5][6] It was taken down after a copyright strike by Nintendo. It was later reuploaded and renamed to Net64.[7]
  • Super Mario 64 Maker, made by Kaze Emanuar, is a Super Mario Maker-like level editor[8]
  • Super Mario 64 Odyssey, made by "biobak" and Kaze Emanuar, features levels based on Super Mario Odyssey and adds its mechanic of possessing enemies by throwing Mario's hat[9]
  • Super Mario 64: Last Impact, made by Kaze Emanuar, is an original game that incorporates elements from other Mario games, such as the Fire Flower from Super Mario Bros., the F.L.U.D.D. cannon from Super Mario Sunshine, and the Bee Mushroom from Super Mario Galaxy[10][11][12]
  • Super Mario 64: Ocarina of Time, made by Kaze Emanuar, is an game in which The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time world is recreated in Super Mario 64's engine, with new gameplay elements, puzzles, and a story[13][14][15]
  • Open World Mario 64, made by "spimort", is a battle royale–style mod set on a huge map made up of all Super Mario 64 levels, in the style of Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds[16]
  • First Person Mario 64, made by Kaze Emanuar, is a modification that fixes the camera configuration on first-person, often making the game much more challenging due to how the game demands acrobatic movements, and how the game does not render objects when they're too close to the camera[17][18]
  • Super Mario 64 FPS, made by "MixMorris", is a first-person shooter remake of the original, speedran by YouTubers Falsepog and Alpharad[19]
  • Super Mario 64 HD, made by Roystan Ross, is a high-definition remake of the first level of Super Mario 64, Bob-Omb Battlefield, using the Unity game engine. The project was taken down following a copyright claim by Nintendo.[20]
  • In 2019, fans decompiled the original ROM image into C source code, allowing Super Mario 64 to be natively ported to any system.
    • In 2020, fans released a Windows port with support for widescreen displays and 4K resolution.[21] Nintendo enlisted a law firm to remove videos of the port and its listings from websites.[22] Fans created ports for several more platforms, including the Nintendo 3DS,[23] PlayStation 2, PlayStation Vita, Dreamcast, and Android.[24]
    • Render96, a graphical mod for the Windows port that implements the original high-resolution source textures, as well as creating new character models and environments resembling those seen in the game's CG renders.[25]
    • Super Mario 64 Plus, a fork of the Windows port featuring a new permanent death option, bug fixes, and an improved camera system[26]

  Not done: I spot checked a couple of the references and couldn’t find the creator names that you listed. Maybe there are other reliable sources for these, but honestly this looks like unnecessary detail in an already overly busy section. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 18:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

This game does have pre-rendered graphics, consider reverting ResidentDante's last edit.

Latest comment: 8 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The last edit on this page implies that everything in-game uses a fully 3D modeled mesh, which is false. This game does have pre-rendered graphics, most notably for the HUD elements (The Mario, Coin, Lakitu and maybe even the Star icons), and billboarded objects with 2D textures (Trees, Various spherical enemy torsos, etc.). Mimi4Plus3 (talk) 18:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

"Pre-rendered graphics" refer to things like the character models in Donkey Kong Country or Mario Kart 64, or the static backgrounds in the original Resident Evil games. If we include HUD elements and billboarding, then one can argue that practically any 3D game has pre-rendered graphics. ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
I know what the term "Pre-rendered graphics" refers to.
I don't know how it isn't obvious that the tree textures in this game are pre-rendered 3D graphics. That fits your description in your first sentence exactly. It is a 3D model rendered externally, and then the output image of the render was then scaled down in an image editor (because of the hardware limitations at the time).
I don't think at all that stuff like the Mario icon on the HUD or any of the trees were just drawn in an image editor, and that they were actually very likely rendered in something like PowerAnimator or Softimage 3D before being scaled down in an image editor.
(Softimage 3D is confirmed to have been used for this game, by the way:
https://web.archive.org/web/20071217130147/http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/1997/apr97/gmedevpr.mspx
and https://pixelatron.com/blog/the-making-of-super-mario-64-full-giles-goddard-interview-ngc/)
And before you say that maybe they used SoftImage for the in-game meshes, the in-game models were actually done with N-World, and also Ningen (a custom N64-tailored version of a 3D modelling program called Multigen. I know this because the models in a leak that contained the source code of the game have comments that say they were converted with Ningen) Mimi4Plus3 (talk) 23:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
