I Remade Mario 64 FROM MEMORY

[@autumn7]

I think this is the first time I've clicked a video of someone remaking a game from memory and they actually have a decent recollection of what the game looks like 😭

Hi simpleflip

[@sadyoshhours2769]

Letting you know the reason yours looks better is that Mario's face takes up the whole head which makes for appealing characters. It wasn't an accident.

[@PopfulFrost]

Basically. I think the Mario Party games did the same thing, too.

[@sadyoshhours2769]

@@PopfulFrost yep! it's a principle of character design i learned from looking at the XJ9 (from the nick show teenage robot) model sheets lol. pretty cool

[@shuacraft9193]

[@finngomezgamer]

The head shape is also more accurate to the cgi model from the time

[@Sabbalab92]

You're not giving yourself enough credit. I am blown away at how familiar your version felt. I even thought your Lakitu looked alright. The only thing that felt actually wrong to me was the health bar. Seriously, this is an amazing video!

[@crowlsyong]

Yeah this is spectacular.

[@VestedUTuber]

Honestly, your skybox, water texture, Mario model and HUD look better overall, and while they're not as detailed or as vibrant, I do like the "hand painted" look of the textures you made in general.

[@VestedUTuber]

[@xhappybunnyx]

The first time I made a game I was shocked at how much artwork goes into it, but it's also so gratifying to see the world slowly come together

[@LotsofLatte]

This was shockingly well done. Some of the textures like the doors and HUD elements you absolutely nailed; even if they weren't entirely accurate, they were stylistically consistent with the original game. It's funny how different minds remember the same thing, I couldn't remember any of these textures for the life of me but when you modeled the castle and bridge I could immediately tell it was too big, having speedrun the game for so many years.

[@featherofajay4667]

I think some people just see the world differently, if that makes sense? Some people might focus more on the overall shape and proportions of an object, and some more on the color or texture, or small details. It's really interesting how various minds differ.

[@Entwicklungshustle]

The fact that you still managed to make the castlegrounds so well even though you basically spend no time there in the game is insane

[@AverageNintenGuy]

That Mario Model is leagues better than the original, I actually kinda prefer it over the og

[@starface2178]

I just hate how ridiculous the copyright claims can get. You did an impressive job on remaking SM64.

[@sandllc1361]

a lot of textures nintendo used for a lot of their games came from old texture disks which were real life photos that nintendo would scroll through at 16 by 16 to find a good one

[@Aseralia]

I would absolutely love to see this mod be released as a weird "Super Mario 64?" style mod where everything just feels slightly off but in a fun way! Keep up the great work!

[@DaNintendude]

A lot of "I remade [game] from memory" videos fail to keep my interest, for one reason or another. But man this was so cool to see. I love your Mario model and I agree that the face texture is better than the original. I'm absolutely interested in seeing how this continues. I loved seeing the whole process and being able to pick up some of the stuff that wasn't quite right from my own memory.

[@DaNintendude]

I don't mean to diss other "I remade-- from memory" creators. It's not anything about them specifically. It's just something about the circumstances of this project are especially cool, and I love the amount of work going into it

[@De_an]

@@DaNintendude I think it's because everything just sort of fell into place. This is a guy who has the art skills, the 3D modeling skills, and the extreme familiarity with SM64 necessary to pull something off that actually looks like Mario 64. With most "I remade-- from memory" videos, the end result usually is just the game watered down to its most basic form to the point where it's not interesting. But here, there's enough similarities to the original where it's actually fun seeing how close he got to it and what parts ended up looking not quite right. It also helps that the people watching this probably know SM64 like the back of their hand, so it almost becomes a game seeing how much you remember/don't remember while watching the video.

[@jbminerlol]

@@DaNintendude same honestly like I feel like alot of those vids are like "let me go remake the whole game engine because i don't care" but since this sm64 decomp it's much better

This video was great. I'd love to see a part 2. Your mario model was very impressive!

[@gipadonimus]

Being completely honest, I hate how underbaked (lack of ambition/content time constraints vs quality maybe?) so many of these concepts end up being. The idea that they're gonna recreate a whole game from scratch, and having to always realize that the creator I'm watching exaggerated that claim by the time they show the end result, or that they prioritized the content part over respecting the game recreation itself. The way you've chosen to do the concept here, was vastly more entertaining to me honestly, even as you revealed the deeper meaning to the title. The end result having accurate mechanics helps it already immensely, but the core concept of recreating an area itself just felt way better structured for viewing in general than some other videos titled similarly.

[@AgentX11]

I fully agree, I was happy to see this video

[@Ooninator]

Yeah I actually agree, sometimes these "I remade blank from scratch" videos can be really irritating in their execution, but this is great

[@tacokoneko]

the trick to making authentic mario 64 "from memory" is you import the mario 64 decompilation as a library and use it as your entire game engine powering physics, movement, camera, controls and and rendering in a way that easily makes it look authentic because it is

[@gamagama69]

​@@tacokoneko op isnt pretending to have not done so. its a mod. the jist is getting the 3d models and art right. although id be funny if he tried creating some of the sounds haha

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

7:24 holyshit, the mario head was already good, but this downscale made an miracle!

[@Milktube]

I was just interested in your memory of the various level geometry (imagine recreating the HMC poison maze straight from memory lol) and seeing what features our minds will exaggerate or deemphasize - but was blown away by your art and asset skills! Very cool but graphic design is a very different skill being tested than remaking something from memory, hopefully once you are done making textures more of the focus can be on the level geometries - I am so eager to watch this process that I subscribed immediately!

[@a64719]

11:22 maybe a stretch but i heard once that the way our native language is read affects the way we process visual information in general, and since japanese is written right-to-left, and english is written left-to-right, maybe it subconsciously influenced you changing the direction peach and mario face? since it reads more fluidly that way if you're used to scanning things left-to-right
