We first heard about this feat of internet-ing via Nintendo Life that article points out via a Reddit fact-check that this is actually part of a larger Nintendo 64 decomp project. Who did this? - Our first thought - and many on the internet seem to have had the very same idea - was that Super Mario 64: Browser Edition had been made possible by last year’s massive Nintendo source code leak.
Just hit start (or the enter bar, in this case) and get to collecting stars. Yep, the classic game is available right now at this website for free, unlimited play, no downloads or emulation back-end required. The dream lives on.The internet has a new solution: play Super Mario 64 right in your browser. And if you come to this post too late, just remember: People have tried to give Super Mario 64 multiplayer before, and they will probably do so again. The last time somebody released a computer-playable version of the classic N64 platformer, Nintendo shut it down within days. If you're planning to boot up Super Mario 64 Online, do so now. Think of it like Mario Party where you make the rules. But idle hands are the devil's playground, and stuffing a bunch of your friends in what's supposed to be a single-player game makes for a wild sandbox. Sure, the game's content is unchanged, so having multiple players likely makes acquiring stars and advancing through the story easier - if that's your only goal. After that, it's off to the races for you and your friends to fiddle around Super Mario 64's original levels with a sprawling cast of characters, all with different abilities. The project requires a little tinkering with settings (tutorial video here) and drawing straws to see who will host your game session. But given Nintendo's extremely low tolerance for unauthorized versions of its games, play it now before the company DMCA's it off the internet.īuilt by modders Kaze Emanuar, Melonspeedruns and Marshivolt, Super Mario 64 Online is a tool that modifies a running version of the game playing in a ROM, so you'll need emulator software that plays N64 games.
A new fan project has taken that collective nostalgia to another level with a downloadable version of the game allowing up to 24 friends to play through the (formerly) single-player adventure. Super Mario 64 turned 21 years old back in June, but the classic title lives on in the hearts and minds of players.
