I recommend this game to anyone who likes platformers, specially 3D platformers. Just as in every Mario game, the story is just an excuse to get you to go out and jump on everything in your path. Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser and it’s up to Mario to save the day. The story for this game is the same as every Super Mario game’s. The soundtrack is also varied and well made, although BGM is often reused. Enemies often have different sounds they make, helping you to differentiate a chain chomp from a piranha plant. The sound for this game is very varied! Mario has different footstep sounds for different grounds and he has various different voice clips. A lot of characters’ textures are very pixellated, a standard for DS graphics.

You can tell what everything is, and you can control the camera around when you need to. The graphics for this game are slightly improved from the original. You could always try using the touch screen for directional input, but that’s more trouble than it’s worth. It’s a bit inaccurate but easy to get used to. The biggest thing that hurts this game, gameplay-wise, is that you’re no controlling these characters in a 360 degree space with a D-pad, allowing you to “point” in eight directions. They’re like what you’d get for smartphones. It’s slicker, faster, and tighter, and sees players exploring the moody Ztar realm. Ztar Attack Rebooted is an updated version of the original Ztar Attack mod.
SUPER MARIO 64 DS MULTIPLAYER HACK BY STARS MOD
There’s also a bunch of little mini games which are all fun, but there’s not much to say about them. This next mod on our list of the best Super Mario 64 ROM hacks is one for those that like a real challenge. Super Mario 64 Land is a ROM Hack made by Kaze Emanuar. Its quite similar to Mario Mache, but has some advanced features like having the power to edit store items. The hack has a much more linear design, and more diversity with its level design and themes. Each time you get one, you get thrown back to the “overworld”. The hack has 131 stars across eight worlds each world featuring 4 main levels and a boss. Instead of your powerup determining how close to losing, the characters have a life meter (which again doubles as their oxygen meter).Įach “stage” is a hunt for the Power Stars, which plays the role of objectives, and getting a lot of them opens up other worlds. The winged cap is still in this game, and I think only Mario can use it, but I’m not to sure on that.Īgain, enemies can be defeated by jumping on them or by fist-fighting them to oblivion. Yoshi can eat enemies, skitter jump, and turn into the other three characters Mario can blow up like a balloon and float Luigi can vanish and skitter jump and Wario can break bricks and turn into metal. That is, aside from Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario are also playable and each have unique abilities. The biggest difference that there is between this game and its original is the inclusion of multiple playable characters. This is a port/remake of that game, with certain added goodies and remixed objectives. Super Mario 64 was one of the best reasons you could have for owning an N64, next to the two Zelda games and others.
