Is this really a platformer? Its seems more like an adventure game than a platformer. [[Special:Contributions/112.215.235.237|112.215.235.237]] ([[User talk:112.215.235.237|talk]]) 09:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC) |

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.

== Should there be a short section about SM64 speedrunning? == |

Speedrunning has risen greatly in popularity and SM64 is arguably the most important and popular game for speedrunning. It was important in the rise of twitch and livestreaming (where for a time runners like Siglemic had the most popular streams on the whole site).

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]
