Right! Such a great detail, makes it even funnier that Luigi(Shinji) pilots the mech with Mario. Just like that Super Mario Bros. Super Show ep.

This is legit one of the craziest romhacks I've ever seen in terms of custom assembly. it is barely recognizable as SM64. Great video Simple. This and B3313 are two powerhouse romhacks that set a tall bar for what romhacks can do to vanilla SM64

It's a shame they had to cut out the piano scene with Boworu and Luiji for budget reasons but besides that, this is one of the sickest ROM hacks I've ever seen of this game, HUGE props to CowQuack

[@TheYoshieMaster]

The hack seems to be based on NGE and EoE, whereas the piano scene is in Rebuild. Sad they cut the iconic bath scene, but I guess that's one way to avoid controversy about the translation of "suki".

[@BillyDrinksMilk]

This is history right here. I don't think I've laughed so hard from a hack before. Honestly, the Spiderman Carnage Doc Oc is what really got me. Especially since everyone else thought the same thing lol That fight is nightmare fuel. Iirc there's no music during it either?

I can tell SimpleFlips remembers the time when Mark voiced Bowser for him and Joel during their blindfold run of Mario 64 and is now rerecruiting him to voice more characters

[@nibyafternight1983]

It's funny how the crossover hacks are highly more exciting to the viewers than to Simple because we are more aware of the references and the overrall context of the hack. While Simple is more invested in how great the mechanics are sometimes without a clue of what's going on in the story
