Enjoying it a lot so far, plenty to discoverbobrocks952024-04-28Version 1.0

I thought I'd pop it on for a quick test, but then was quickly interested in the badge system and coin economy, and then dug in proper right away to find it has some interesting levels and isn't insanely difficult like so many SM64 hacks tend to be.

Runs alright on real hardware- widescreen looked good but it definitely chugs in places on real hardware so I'm back in 4:3 to give the N64 as much of a break as I can. Some levels are very impressive in size, I especially like the ghost ship so far.

Ended up playing it for about 3 hours straight now, and I'm about to stop typing this to go back and play more! Definitely give this a shot!

Very good Twist on the Formula!Subject N2812023-08-29Version 1.0

I really REALLY enjoyed this hack, the story was compelling enough for something completely original, and the level designs worked so well with the new additions and was even sometimes unsettling, in a good way.

The Mana and Badge system work surprisingly well for M64! Adding new abilities on top of the usual fair of M64 breaths a bit of freshness into the game.

Music has some excellent choices with a couple extra secrets to find, Costumes, and collectables with a fun little reward for finding everything.

Overall, Super fun~ A great hack! Highly Recommended~
