Oof, the intended first star really did not give a good impression for the rest of the game, but then again it's raocow getting adjusted to 3D and camera controls. Let's just be thankful the rescue wind is there.

While the game looks like it's definitely going to hit Star Road levels of difficulty, though maybe not as quickly, I think raocow getting reacclimated to the controls was really the major issue in this video.

I always find the purple plants at the beginning of the game as tough opponents. Never died on them, but they are hard. I didn't knew that just after they get interested in Mario, they can be hurt immediately. Also change from 8HP to 6HP is weird.

At the beginning I really liked new camera. Unfortunately there are moments in the game where I really wished to have side lakitu camera instead.

Fuzzy effect looks nice but I don't like that music stops abruptly.

Also raocow could notice that in today video. In newest version fall damage has been erased. That's why raocow didn't get hurt when falling from high place.

The first star can be a little troublesome, but on the other way you can't really die. So it's not that hard.

It wouldn't be a SM64 series if the first video wasn't struggling with a fairly basic task

(not that I could do better)

oh boy this game

it starts off mostly cool and fun but then it eventually starts dropping the ball hard

Touch Fuzzy, Get Psychedleic Colors And Moving Vertices

star road was 2 years ago tho, what the heck

the various changes to the gui look ... kinda to really bad, especially the title screen. kinda strikes me in the "well we can change this stuff and probably wow some people" vein without actually bothering to judge whether what they had on hand was actually aesthetically pleasing or not

i'm also caught half thinking the fact that the fuzzy effect basically turns the game into a vinesauce corruption video gives me the same feeling, and half thinking that's actually pretty funny

Did the shifting ground polygons actually affect Mario? I couldn't tell from the video.

Where's Peter Puppy when you need him?

AHGOSH▒░ i have been really eagerly awaiting this series for a long long time ´･ᴗ･`

i kinda feel like raocow is having less of a hard time than star road with controls ✧ ﾟ

They don't but Mario moves on his own after touching a fuzzy, so there are consequences.

Oh boy, I didn't expect a Kaze hack to be honest, this could get tough. raocow, please keep in mind things can and will get janky- Kaze makes some fantastic work when it comes to the technical aspects of his hacks, but he is still pushing what you can do in this engine to begin with.

While I believe this hack to be easier than Star Road, the game is still expecting you to be pretty experienced with sm64- not in like you need to do firsties and whatnot, but comfortable enough with movement to just be able to get around, so I don't think there's any shame in using savestates if you feel like you need to.
Haven't actually seen the Star Road LP, so hopefully this one goes well

I meme the plumber, not the player

Well, I guess I’ll have to give this hack a chance. Looks interesting, though after ragequitting 3 different hacks halfway through (74, Star Road, and Green Stars), I have no idea if I can do this.

Honestly, the reception to this hack seems to vary wildly. I’ve seen some youtuber claim this hack saved the children in Africa or something, and someone else saying they’d pay money for it, though on here it’s getting roasted pretty hard. I’ll just have to play it tomorrow and find out.

Backwards camera controls are the most unintuitive thing ever and I don't understand how they came about, let alone why they're so ubiquitous.

So generally, the backflip is always a better option than the Double Jump. Or you can Side flip if you want to be fancy.

Was there not a camera mode that has it follow behind Mario? That would have made things easier for you. You should review the camera controls again.

Q: Can SM64 translate vertices in the fly?

A: Yes, badly

Every time I see a 64 hack I'm like, man, it's not just nostalgia, right? SM64 was actually playable in comparison, yeah?

Controlling Mario in SM64 felt extremely good for most of the game, be it in the more open areas, slide sections, flying, or the many short platforming-focussed segments.

It's when you get to levels like Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride that your muscles get really clenched. Moreso with some of the stars being unforgiving (especially with Rainbow Ride, where you're presented with an auto-scroller at the start of the stage every time).

Although I don't think anything in SM64 is particularly bad except for the 100 coin stars.

I'm making a cameo here to say to use the R button liberally for camera control rather than the C buttons.
