20:08 I bet the creator got SO excited when they saw him do this

God EVERYTHING about this hack was incredible, the 11 star message, the surprisingly simple but genius shark tank bit, the one ups repurposed into deadly monsters, the destructible pillars that make the path to the star, the incredible way he hid the warp/treasure so no one would ever get it by accident, the shell boat, the star names that ask if you got the stars, the drowning mips/toad, the boo holding a level triggered by stars collected... and best of all the vast majority of this was just creatively repurposed stuff from the game.

[@0boro]

hopefully this guy winds up getting into game development for real. He has a ton of creativity and fresh ideas.

[@solgaleo3533]

Yeah. The one ups were two different enemies, a purple and white molgera and two gyorgs.

[@Galiardde]

Gotta really call out how perfectly the treasure hunt went, like in most like AAA games I can't recall a treasure finding section that wasn't riddled with some amount of guesswork even after finding the clues. It's genius because once the clues were assembled the path was clear from the palm tree to the rocks it was a well indicated path, but what blows my mind is that it also didn't stick out before you had the clues. Literally this hack was nothing but brilliant execution of incredibly novel ideas. Like this isn't just in my top 5 romhacks, this is also going into a personal list of some of the best video game design.

I wish Morrowind gave directions to the player this well. Half the time its so easy to lose the trail

[@stefanrabenstein3753]

I think if you have the first, third and fourth hint you are probably able to guess the second hint, as the third hint is talking about another rock and the direction is kind of intuitive. Brute forcing the third hint when you have the other three hints might be possible as well, but a lot harder.

Honestly the coolest part about this hack was not exactly that there was a ton of custom stuff, like it didn’t seem like there was a ton of custom code or anything, but just how CREATIVE the dev was with using stuff already in sm64! The boat model for the shell, the masts being copies of the breakable walls from whomps, the tentacles as 1ups, the mips as the drowning toad, all such incredibly creative use of existing stuff! Mad props

[@houndoomdude2]

It’s actually awesome the way this hack repurposes stuff like chuckyas and 1ups. That kind of thing is really impressive to me in its own way from custom programmed stuff.

[@LogtasticLogan]

I don't know much about making ROMs but it seems like a lot of the things done in this hack are pretty common (changing models, text, custom levels, etc.) but the implementation is extremely clever and simply astounding.

[@LogtasticLogan]

It's a simple reminder that it's not what you do, but how you do it.

[@EvilCoffeeInc]

This was super impressive. The fact that all of this was done with vanilla mechanics speaks to the creativity and deep understanding of the SM64 engine from Elarix. Hopefully we see more cool hacks from them in the future!

A great romhack hides the quirks of the sm64 engine behind story/lore. For example, the looping hiding the koopa shell (boat) was explained as the KotRL's power being weakened in the ghost sea. Good shit

This hack is the ultimate proof that you don’t need to custom code much to make an amazing rom hack. This hack basically had no custom coding but it’s level design and creativity was so amazing that it didn’t need any of it

My personal winner of this contest. Mainly because it still plays like a super mario 64 hack, theres basivally no custom coding. While the other banger hacks with custom coding are mindblowing and incredible, this one has that special SM64 charme to it

[@ayoraster2970]

Amazing hack. Really inspiring that this was all done with creative use of vanilla Mario 64 code.

[@roryrainbow77]

Oh my god absolutely beautiful hack. This was so incredibly done and fit the immersion of Zelda, even if in my opinion it wasn’t AS zelda themed in the way Zelda games have dungeons and progressive items and stuff. This hack states that it’s not even NECCESARY to have all that to be Zelda themed. The thing about this that fits is the essence of a vast world to explore and each level highlighted the uniqueness of it. So many brilliant mechanics and ideas here based around a fantastic Zelda game. As a small bonus that call out was phenomenal LOL

[@Glacier_Nester]

What a hack, dude, that 11 star message, the genius level repurposing of existing mechanics, deeply incredible stuff!

[@CheerUpCrewcut]

I actually skipped this video for a bit because of time, and only was able to get to it today, and boy do I regret it/not regret it. This was THE greatest hack I've seen Simple play, by far. It's an expertly crafted game, balancing "new" as in making expert use of blending existing elements to use them to fit the hack with classic good Mario levels. The only thing I could ever think to speak ill of is maybe the occasional Star placement on the level with the octopus, tentacles and golden rings/five secrets, but it's definitely a 10. I'm curious to see how other hacks fare. Props to the creator, and just the entire competition for creating some great hacks, and the sick thumbnail art. Shoutouts to Cock Rock 4.

[@nin10doadict]

The part where it called you out on the moneybag duping was incredible

One really neat thing I noticed is that the fossil simp found earlier into the hack underwater was the same kind as the ghost bone creatures, and their message says “our bones don’t sink” so it’s interesting that the one fossil did. Normally id think I’m reading too far into it but with everything in this hack I’m thinking there’s no way it was unintentional.
