A mod for Super Mario 64
Mario's Vacation Course 64 is a ROM hack/mod of Super Mario 64 developed by Reonu. In this game, Mario spent so much time on vacation that he forgot all of his moves, and the player has to recover his memories, on a open-world-like playground where the player has to find and get stars. This mod is inspired by Bowser's Fury (Switch) in its style, music and level design.

A fun short hack that plays great on original hardware! The gimmick of collecting the original moveset as you find stars is very well executed here. Regaining your moves is satisfying, and the stage design helps to show just how versatile Mario is even without all of his moves. I highly recommend this one to any Super Mario 64 fan.
A fun enough Mario mod at times, unlocking moves as you collect stars. But when it stops being fun, and frustration sets in (usually at the limitations of stuff like Mario's turning circle or the less than ideal wall jump, which just wasn't that fun in 64), it becomes a horrific chore. Certainly worth a punt for all the ideas at play
