A Super Mario 64 mod could be as close to Mario Maker 3D as ever

and they’re great games that make it easy for fans to create and share their own Mario levels. But it was a bit disappointing that Nintendo only considered 2D Mario games. None of the plumber’s 3D incarnations has reached a Mario Maker title so far. So thank goodness for modders.

Two modders named Arthurtilly and Rovertronic released a which aims to allow players to create and share their own levels in the blink of an eye. You will need your own (legally obtained) Mario 64 game file and separate software to infuse the mod into it. It is even possible to use Mario Builder 64 on a Nintendo 64 if you .

You will have over 100 pieces with which to build your levels. The creation tool includes some custom parts from a previous mod, so you have extras like permanent bonuses. To share your creations and find those made by others, the recommended places are for Mario and Rovertronic level modders .

It will be interesting to see if the 3D is ridiculous start to appear, while the mod could allow speedrunners to create custom training grounds where they can practice strategies. Personally, I hope that the creators create levels that rely on beat.
