Mario Maker 64 is Incredible 

Hi, commenters - fangame developer here. Nintendo does not catch wind of all fangames the instant a RU-vidr uploads a video on them. In fact, very few content creators make it past Nintendo (of Japan's) legal desk. In order for ANY game to get taken down, NCL legal needs to be notified of it, which means if NoA legal notifies them, they need to get through the language barrier first. Second, the legal teams at both only seek out fangames that get large notoriety & "public attention" which is 95% of the time spurred on by mainstream games journalism, not YT/Twitch content. Fangames are not automatically viewed as a threat to the IP, and these games often need to be viewed as such to be taken down. The Link's Awakening project was taken down because it directly conflicted with the remake on Switch, Pokemon Uranium was taken down because it threatened the release of the 7th Generation, Super Mario Bros X was taken down because it threatened the 2D series on consoles & was taken down around the time the original Super Mario Maker was likely to have entered development, and AM2R was sent a C&D because of the Samus Returns remake. Every single takedown, unless it was for reasons of gratuitous violence or potential for profit (IE the Palworld Pokemon mod or Patreon use via Yuzu development), had a concrete reason for it that "threatened" an existing product. Last - these fangame developers are pouring their heart and soul into what they love. This is their way of showing it, and GVG wants to showcase it. Immediately assuming this will result in a takedown is both rude to GVG and the fangame developer, who both are trying to share their passion with the world. Quit it, and the more you say "this will get taken down!!" the more likely it is that someone will actually notify NCL/NoA & get it taken down.

Imagine the number of invisible walls people are going to accidentally make with this.

where are the other 61 mario makers, what the hell reggie

It's honestly incredible what people can do with a nearly 30 year old game: - Reverse engineering the game to the point that we know almost everything there is to know about it - Decompiling the game back to usable source code - Improving the performance with the said source code - Creating entirely new games and experiences using the decompiled source code - Getting stuff like this running on multiple platforms, including the original hardware

It is the year 2044. Pannenkoek has figured out how to beat arbitrary Mario maker levels with zero A presses

Careful with those diagonals, some ceilings or out of bounds might leak through.

I feel like this is less Mario Maker 64 and more Mario 64 Maker.

incredible.. I hope this goes far. we need a Galaxy Maker so hard, given how they made all these great mechanics then used them like twice each. 6:50 holy damn, this is exactly what was missing from the Mario Maker games. the ability to add SECRETS. They have invisible boxes, but they don't have intangible blocks or anything else for secret routes with hidden stuff, that's why mario maker kinda sucks. My favorite thing in Mario is always discovering the real well hidden secrets.

I'm gonna try and recreate some mario kart tracks with this, maybe my real life neighbourhood too

Nice video. Playing this on N64 hardware is nuts.

First Questmaster, now this? It’s a great era to be a gamer!

sm64 romhack fans are one of the most spoiled communities in gaming I swear we always have something good to play

I'm so glad you covered this! This looks so cool!

you can choose the music your levels have in the mario maker games, you just place the music tile on mario and the song plays the whole level. There just aren't that many songs to choose from.

Great video, and it's a fantastic idea. Love the choice of music, and it looks like it will be fun to try.

I remember seeing a super Mario 64 maker romhack from Kaze years ago, it's super cool to see a way more fleshed out version of it!

I really enjoyed this style of video! Thanks Brandon ❤

i think it would be pretty cool if the game had a "hub" where all the stars you collect and all the stages you've played are listed and saved. maybe there could be an officially compiled campaign or "gauntlet" like in geometry dash, where community-made stages are put together in a "playlist" and can be unlocked and completed for rewards (and bragging rights).

Im really hoping Nintendo will release an official Mario 64 Maker eventually.

This is insanely cool, thanks for sharing!

This is soooo insane!! Huge props for the developers! I’ve never thought about this but now that I’ve seen it I can’t believe it didn’t happen sooner! Where has this been my whole life?!

Isn't this finished? It's out in the wild now so it doesn't matter if Nintendo send a Cease and Desist.

That's a really good impression of Randal from Clerks at 5:02 lol

People going crazy about this getting shut down... the only way this could be safe of a shut down would be if the dev didnt release it, its a mario mod, of course people are going to talk about it

This is simply amazing. Can't wait to try it out!

I felt that i was playing some old minecraft like indev while making my own level

Knowing myself with an editor like that I will always try to make multiple Mario levels that would feel like they were expansion packs of the original game. Basically make it as "Mario 64" -esque as possible.

Oh this is nice. Actually pretty similar to how I imagined it when I also came up with an idea for a Super Mario 64 maker. I think I had that idea a while before Mario Maker was a thing, actually. Super Mario 64 DS at some point gave me the idea and it seemed pretty doable to me.

Coopa sitting there stuck in the water looks so cute & sad

The level ascent is actually a port/remake from a level from the vr game bonelab, the more you know

idea: koopa the quick circles the flag for ages, and during that time, you have to make sure you don't die, while staying on various dangerous platforms that enemies keep coming at you from.

This will give Nintendo some ideas for Super Mario Maker 3

1:57 Is there the cut enemies like Blargg and Hopper?

Good Minecraft mod

Wish Nintendo would embrace fangames more! I would love to see this on the Switch. I don't know if I'd make levels, but I'd love to play levels

I played this a ton today, it's epic but I found a bug lol Star can appear outside of the level after Koopa Race if you're at the edge, I'll try to upload my gameplay for it tomorrow to show.

Embrace the Little Timmy levels!

actually if by some chance koopa the quick slides out of the water, he works... but his animations dont, i already reported that issue on the github so anything related to that what i said in there most likely get fixed

Nintendo should add 3D Mario to Mario Maker 3.

The best part is that we dont have to wait on Rover to release new content. The builder is completely open source and they can work with them if what they add is worthy enough!

Main issue I had with the hack was the fact you can't change the "brush size" And I am making a Big house level it would have been nice to be able to change how many blocks to place at once.

Title is still wrong, but yeah Kaze's mod from years back is good too!

I feel like Nintendo could do thus with 3D World/Land really well if they wanted to.

Cool! My son would probably like to do this.

I honestly never even realized that SM64 was made on a grid-based layout, but it seems to make perfect sense after seeing this. Absolutely amazing work by the developers behind this editor!

Bruh. If we had this abck in the N64 era, minds would have exploded.

he should have included Blarg (something like that) and the other two or more unused enemies

5:40 from the first trailer of the Bonelab VR game

Does this work via emulation, and can you download user content and play/ share with one?

That thing is brilliant and it even works on real hardware using a everdrive, that's just sick

Imagine recreating Mario Odyssey in this

This is how I’ve always envisioned Super Mario Maker 3D working! 🤩

A hub zone like the original except the hub level has the custom levels you made

For Playable Characters for future Updates.... May from the Totsugeki 64 Mod wouldn't sound bad...

This looks absolutly insane! If they added sm64 worlds and stuff to, this could be the best fangame I've ever seen!

I need to download this, before it is gone.

I've seen so many Mario 64 rom hacks that change the way and style of how you can play in ways i couldn't even imagine, it's incredible!😄 Makes me even wonder if there is anything that can't be done?... 😁😊

The way i think the stars should be handled is like this: There is at least one yellow star per level and that is essentially the goal, collecting that ends the level, but green stars can be placed around the level and don't end the level, like 3D world. Feels like how nintendo would do it if they made this a real thing if i am honest.

finally mario maker 2 got the new update

I actually made a full level yesterday with seven stars. I guess I should probably upload that.

Great rom hack!

Ever played Megaman Maker? I'd like to see a video on it, maybe when v1.9 comes out.

I just hope this game not getting shut down by Nintendo

Where John :( The intro with his voice feels so cheerful and wholesome

Is it only me or is the renderer the decomp port is using TOO VIBRANT AND BRIGHT

Can’t wait for everyone to make a ton of music levels, autorunners and 1-1 remakes that all ultimately miss the point of the tools

i am fully expecting someone to remake mario 64 again, but with additional easter eggs, with this

the water mechanic reminds me alot of little big planet

This is amazing

Does the pitch keep going up and up and up as you collect endless red coins?

No checkpoint flag is a bummer and a lack of infinite space is also a bummer! Hope those two are fixed and more items and power ups are added

This is sick!

Can these levels be played as exportable ROM files that can be played on emulators?

I wish there was a ds version of this

Nintendo should work with this dev to release this on the switch. But Nintendo is too prideful for that to ever happen.

5:35 if this is based off of bonelab’s ascent

Not very into the Mod's world since I don't have a proper PC gaming and knowledge of that topic. But darn, this editor looks quite cool for give it a try!.

4:27 this means you could make mario galaxy purple coin levels

i know how to make normal romhack levels without it but still this is cool still. For sure will try

Can you import and edit the vanilla courses from the main game?

This is incredible:D

Anyone who remembers Toad’s Tool is a real one

Now it's all fun and games until troll levels start being made. I wanna see that

This is actually called Mario Builder 64, not Mario Maker 64. Also, please keep in mind that there's also Super Mario 64 Maker by Kaze Emanuar

Why is everyone saying this is going to get shut down? I actually enjoy the dedication and this channel for sharing it. Have some faith, guys.

I'm going to liminal to the moon playing this!

255 red coins may be upper limit if it's based on an 8 bit integer, you need to try and go above that

I have a question. Do you need an n64 to play this? Are you able to just play and create levels on your PC?

Is there a version for the PC port?

only a matter of time till nintendo makes a mario maker 3d

im just like "y r ppl talking about mario 64 maker all of a sudden?" but seems like its gotten a LOT over the years lol

Imagine this with multiplayer

You kinda sound like Randall from Clerks. You could probably do a very good impression of him with some practise.

Sigh...people here don't seem to understand the difference between a patch-based romhack and a fangame remake, the Link's Awakening thing got taken down because it was a free version of one of Nintendo's own games (and one they're actively selling at that) using Nintendo's own assets, it's freely distributing a version of Nintendo's game/IP without any license to do so. This and other romhacks are NOT that, there's no distribution of Nintendo's property here, all that's being distributed is a patch file that on its own is not something Nintendo has claim to, and it's something the user has to patch into a Mario 64 rom themselves for this to even work. No rom hacks that rely on patches like this have been taken down as far as I'm aware, and I don't think Nintendo even really can if they wanted to because the file itself has nothing for them to take down. If they could, the Newer Super Mario Bros. games which have been around and HEAVILY covered since 2013 would have been shut down a long time ago, but they haven't because they're also patches and you need to get the base game separately. Romhacks only get taken down historically if they're being distributed as fully-built roms, which falls under piracy, and this and other more recent hacks are not that. If this ends up aging poorly I'll gladly eat my words but I'm going off years of consistent history here, and romhacks don't work like those fangames that get shut down (and even then, fangames that aren't literal remakes of official games don't get shut down nearly as often as you think [except maybe for Pokemon], Mario Fan Games Galaxy [one of the top fangame sites] has a whole Twitter thread detailing that).

personally id like to see something like importable textures. or at least an option to request an import of a texture so people don't import bad things.

It's actually called Mario Builder 64

Yeah maybe we'll see Mario Maker Sunshine or Mario Maker Galaxy too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's Minecraft

It's fun. I played it on an emulator. I could not run it on my n64 as I have a knockoff everdrive that's much cheaper than a real one but has worse game compatibility.

I’m here in June (9th) of 2024! Hello to those of you “future folks” that are here after the trailer for “super 3D Mario maker” just dropped. Too bad this got the kaibash huh? If only someone, anyone, or maybe even….everyone, saw it coming. The huge amount of painstaking time and effort put into this romhack could’ve been avoided…oh well. Anyway, who else loved Metroid prime 4 huh? That part when Samus was like, “it’s Morphballin time!” and then morphed all over the spacepirates, s**t was hype amiright!? Up top🙋‍♂️
