Applause for you raocow! applause!
Whenever the next SM64 hack rolls around, before you even play it, you should really get the deadzones and sensitivity of your controls perfected. Maybe release a screengrab of your setup so experts can give an opinion.

Congrats on beating your first Super Mario 64 hack. Glad I suggested it back then.

Man, congrats! This LP definitely has been one of my favorites of yours, the journey from those early episodes has been crazy.

I actually did come here to mention that, because (as some of you may remember) we (the Talkhaus) DID try to make one of those, but then, it didn't happen. Obviously. The board's in the archives if anyone wants to see.SAJewers wrote:Someone should start up a "A Super Mario 64 Thing" for him to play. /s
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

Re: Super Mario Star Road - raocow plays a 3D game (Didn't get to 64 episodes!)
You did it! I admit to being a naysayer that you wouldn't get 100% just because I knew how hard the final parts were at times but you continually proved me wrong. What an accomplishment.
As for other SM64 hacks, there aren't too many really great ones out there. Even the best ones have some major jank to them like incredibly hidden worlds, high expectation of very technical maneuvers, and other general weirdness. Definitely consult us before you do another one because the community can probably help you find a hack that fits your ability and isn't stupid. Don't want you accidentally choosing to do Super Mario 74 Extreme Edition after all. ;)

Nah. After what happened with A2MT, I'd be worried it'd never get finished and all we'd see would be raocow playing through a few random leftover levels in a Zombie ASM64T series.SAJewers wrote:Someone should start up a "A Super Mario 64 Thing" for him to play. /s
As for more Mario 64 hacks, I still think Last Impact could work well for raocow. It's certainly more reasonable in the early levels than this game is, and even the later ones are fairly enjoyable without save states. No super hard final level either(outside the standard final boss stage), which is a bonus.
Trust me, I know. I played the first 100 or so stars there without save states as my first ever Super Mario 64 ROM hack. So if raocow can beat Star Road, he'll be able to beast Last Impact quite handily too.

Re: Super Mario Star Road - raocow plays a 3D game (Didn't get to 64 episodes!)
That was one of my favorite LPs in a long time. Admittedly I haven't watched much for LPs in a long time, but it was a lot of fun. I was initially hooked on the first episode when it was a comedically absurd show of incompetence, just trying to get out of the water, but it was fun to watch raocow slowly but surely understand the engine. I'll admit, a few episodes ago when I heard "I'll come back and do it without savestates for the final star" I didn't believe it, but I was impressed today.
And I think if there's anything we can learn from this, it's the even when you get decent at the SM64 engine, you'll never be good enough to just simply turn around near a ledge without walking straight off.

I can't help but wonder how much fixed cam would have helped throughout this LP. Like there's a few key spots where I can imagine it actually making a big difference, but then again its kinda hard to work with.

Re: Super Mario Star Road - raocow plays a 3D game (Didn't get to 64 episodes!)
it's been said before, but I'll say it again - fixed cam would've helped in some places early on, but then he was struggling for other reasons besides the camera in those moments too. Later on, he briefly used the fixed camera where necessary and tried it out in a few scenarios where it wasn't cooperative. The biggest issue with Lakitu cam rather than Mario cam, even though Lakitu cam is generally superior in vanilla Super Mario 64, is that it relies on a lot of guideline planes and pre-defined points which just don't exist in this hack (or are very poorly implemented). Lakitu camera's default behaviours upon encountering a level boundary or wall can be far more erratic than the zoomed-out Mario cam, which while unsteady, is still far more reliable overall than a stable but sometimes demented Lakitu trying to re-enact the Resident Evil 1 camera.nathanisbored wrote:I can't help but wonder how much fixed cam would have helped throughout this LP.

raocow... congrats. You really made it through all of this. That's amazing. You are truly a super player, and that was a good game to play.
I am prone to almost everything... except spontaneous violence.

Well I certainly feel bad for doubting you. I didn't think that you would be able to get that final star without at least one savestate. Very well done raocow.
Re: Super Mario Star Road - raocow plays a 3D game (Didn't get to 64 episodes!)
Now that he's finished this I kinda hope one of the Mario Galaxies gets voted for down the line, need more modern 3D raocow. :D I thoroughly enjoyed this LP as well, and like many others I'm very glad his jankiness from the first 5 episodes cleared up for most of the project.
And well done on savestateless Hidden Palace, you're a nutter.

Excellent play, raocow. I hope the evident rush of victory at the end made up for all of the earlier-game frustration. And for World 5. Which is, as has been proven with finality, World 5.
