The one that started it all thank you Frauber!
Really impressive for being the first complete hack of this game
it's extremely basic and dated by today's romhack standards, but I remember when this dropped and I was blown away that I could play new stages and collect new stars on Mario 64, it was revolutionary
the levels are all a flat plane with random things placed around. the day/night system only exists to waste your time, as some stars are arbitrarily not accessible in one or the other. it's just bad.
pleasantly surprised this is on here. i remember being there when this came out and learning how to patch ROMs just to be able to play this, and while the level designs are spare and clunky in relation to what can come from SM64 ROM hacking now (each object had to be moved via manual inputs instead of the software/GUI readily available now), it's still a lot of fun as a short game - a game that sparks excitement in every corner, wondering what other possibilities might be explored in the years to come. and then you hear that cold, spaghetti western-esque rendition of the malo mart theme, and you can't help but smile :)
