These include various open-source level, text and texture editors, as well as custom software for importing 3D object and level files. With each ROM hack, Emanuar learned more about the game and the modding tools maintained by the community.
Undeterred, Emanuar released a string of mods in 2013 including the five-level adventure Mario and the Magic Wand, the musical-themed Organ of Matrias, and Super Mario Bros 3D, which lets the player choose between Mario and Luigi. "They called me disabled and everything," he said.
Mario fans hated the mod and showered Emanuar with insulting reviews. "It's so bad, I hid the trailer from my channel." "It's so bad, I hid the trailer from my channel," he explained.
Emanuar was "a total noob" at modding, however, and the final version was awful. If this one guy can make this, then I can make it too.'" His first fan hack was Super Mario 64 Madness, a complete game with custom courses and 122 stars. "When I saw that Star Road was a thing, I thought 'Yo, this can be done. He had been programming games on his calculator and was instantly intrigued by the N64 modding community. If you love yourself, and like anyone, you should definitely go and get a USB controller."Įmanuar enjoyed the difficulty of Star Road, which went beyond the challenges found in Super Mario 64. "Playing Mario 64 mods with keyboards," he explained, is "something you should never do to yourself. He tried to play it with a mouse and keyboard at first but quickly discovered that a controller was almost mandatory. Emanuar's first exposure, however, was through a Super Mario 64 ROM hack called Star Road. Most people use emulation to quickly (and often illegally) play titles from their childhood. He grew up in the German city of Bremen and discovered emulators - applications that mimic older video game hardware - as a 17-year-old in high school. It's a bizarre, but perfectly playable mashup that Emanuar has been building toward for five years. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. Some rooms are inaccessible or streamlined so that players can quickly reach the next boss or power-up. Each map was adjusted, however, to accommodate Mario's acrobatic move-set - unlike Link, the mustachioed hero can wall jump, triple-jump and backflip - and the placement of 170 stars.

The game is a meticulous recreation of Hyrule inside the Super Mario 64 engine. Epona, Link's reliable steed, has been replaced with wooden carriages dragged by overzealous Chain Chomps. The Forest Temple, located in the Lost Woods, is filled with colorful Boos instead of flaming skulls. Hyrule Castle, for instance, is owned by Peach and patrolled by pink Bob-ombs. The world is a little different to the one found in Link's adventure, however. The unofficial and legally dubious project allows players to traverse Hyrule, the mystical kingdom found in the Zelda series, as Nintendo's portly plumber. But never have the two games been combined in a fan-made ROM hack like Super Mario 64: Ocarina of Time.
Both have been celebrated with portable re-releases and a deluge of fan movies, artwork and soundtrack remixes. Similarly, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - the first in the franchise with 3D graphics - is considered a classic with a record 99 rating on Metacritic. Its large, imaginative levels and increasingly difficult challenges have defined the 3D platformer genre since its release on the Nintendo 64.
