The Coolest Minigames I've ever seen in a ROM hack

[@OzzyOzrock]

that red balloon snipe between the two stinky balloons was fucking INSANE dude

[@3zachm]

ozzy why are you watching every youtuber I watch

[@LoreleiBlaine]

yeah! 99/100 times you get absolutely fucked for trying to pull that off I'm sure but he just nailed it with zero hesitation

[@murphthasmurf5923]

I popped off when I saw that

[@PablosCorner]

Glad to see you enjoyed our mod! We got more stuff planned soon.

[@thetoongrump9801]

You guys did a phenomenal job!

[@dankerino7244]

this looks amazing

[@solidzack]

Im curious since the Monty mole appeared way later: did Simple get all available minigames or were there some he didnt play?

[@ArcticJaguar725]

@@solidzack All of them were shown here. The microgames are weighted to reduce the likelihood of repeats (although it admittedly needs work) so the probability of Simple getting that for the first time 48 microgames in should have been extremely unlikely (assuming my code isn't just broken).

[@FreyrFox]

I didn't have the energy to participate in this comp but I'm glad someone made the exact hack I was thinking of making, but better than I ever could have, I've always wanted to make a marioware hack

[@thenightjackal]

oh that's good because this is actually an SM64 hack. you can still make one for marioware someday!

[@thebear8326]

I hope you eventually follow through with it, even if it's already been done! It's always cool to see what this community makes~

[@XanderRowlet]

I’m gonna give you credit for thinking this up first. Good job!

[@GL_099]

Okay, genuine praises to this one. Not just did they make a functional Warioware game (which on it's own must be hell to put together), they got _every single detail perfect_ . The transition screen, the lives, the speed ups, the level ups, and even the individual games were fantastic ("Ground Pound the Culprit" was such an accurate recreation it blew my mind, especially on the higher levels with how they were moving). I didn't think such a thing was possible.

[@Gelfling66]

I take it as a personal attack when I don't get to play along with the "guess where the pink bomb is" game 7:01 lol

[@JGMeador444]

I kinda took it personally as well 😂

[@PatJamma]

This was genuinely the coolest use of existing Mario 64 assets in a ROM hack I've ever seen

[@grunkleg.2934]

The way Super Mario 64 ROM hacking is nowadays, we're sooner to get an entire recreation of Symphony of the Night in Mario 64 than an actual SotN ROM hack that isn't just the randomizer or whatever

[@Driabo35]

Every time I see hack like this I'm just so impressed that it's still mario 64, that was an awesome hack

[@MrBrax]

Honestly, now with the decompile they're more like full on mods/full conversions due to the easier overview

[@ethanpayne4116]

@@MrBrax it's like when they do the yoshi orb glitch and turn SMW into metal gear solid or whatever at this point

[@DrSabot-A]

Every competition is just a vicious cycle of "NO WAY THIS IS SM64" in which that reaction gets more and more visceral every romhack

[@SuperShadow]

5:48 The silhouette though. Such a tiny change that makes a world of difference.

[@xectilus5530]

Insanely polished, not only did they make a beautifully crafted Warioware homage but they crammed it with nostalgia as well. Perfect music and visuals.

[@Azure30]

Holy shit that completely unnecessary red balloon snipe between the wario balloons was sick

[@BetaSigmaOmega104]

1:46 I'm sorry I ever doubted your realness

[@raulalbanil1984]

I'll be the one to say it, the last one was a baseball minigame

[@Poyoke]

Okay but what if there was a Baseball minigame and you just didn't get it

[@Perc1000]

7:23 was pure greed and it paid off

[@LoganPoulzinhoPinto]

1:03 insane water graphics

[@skirdus367]

I think this is the first time I've seen a romhack that's so utterly customized that I actively struggle to associate it with the source game

[@keiclera6596]

if Simple's competition creates romhack TEAMS that makes way more polished hacks, that'd be INSANE

[@ChristopherMoom]

5:30 Insane how this hack was specifically programmed to imitate the player in real time, you really can get away with anything in Mario 64 hacking Nah but really, this hack's sick as hell, I can easily see players getting invested in this game

[@PokeNebula]

i love this comment because i read the first line, clicked the timestamp, and then came back down to read the second line

[@TheMISTIK2000]

If you played any WarioWare game before, it's not really something specific to the hack, the level 3 minigame will always trick you into jumping : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y16qi36ajJ15qc0

[@JP-lr8rr]

This is one of the sickest Super Mario 64 Romhacks I have ever seen

[@RyanDxxx0]

Truly one of the best hacks I've seen, just gg to everyone who made it.

[@PiOverlord]

Personal pick for hack of the competition. Had to immediately play, and showed all my fellow Mario enthusiasts in the family because I was that impressed. Regardless of your placement, kudos to Team Cornersoft.

[@PablosCorner]

Thank you for your kind words! 👏🏼

[@carryingautoclicks7501]

dodge the chuckya was kind of like a baseball minigame

[@mattalevine]

No one ever considered the baseball minigame would be you trying to avoid becoming the baseball

[@masterofbloopers]

After seeing this hack, Block Mesa doesn’t look like a landslide victory anymore.

[@igoramaral95]

While SMW Community got SMWCP2 stuck under development for 10 years now, sm64 just doesn't stop impressing me day after day.

[@pwhqngl0evzeg7z37]

It seems like there's so much original programming in this I wonder how much was written from scratch as compared to just modified. Like the hub looks like it could be rendered in the original engine, but the balloon popping looks totally new. Love the multitexturing (?) on the water for the chest game.

[@louisbowels6858]

It blows my mind in 2022 that indie developers making mods for a game made 26 years ago are more creative and innovative than a lot of AAA companies

[@neshploda17]

This looks like a hack that would be really fun to TAS to see what the highest possible score is.

[@metaljeremy]

that hack was actually insane

[@icegod4849]

We are reaching a point where I don't know what classifies an SM64 hack anymore. Like if I program Minecraft that works on the N64 does that count? It probably shouldn't. But what if I use a part of the SM64 engine?

[@doq]

There were no quicksands in this video. Only MicroGame$. I thought the Celeste hack was dope, but this one is just on a whole 'nother level. Absolutely unreal what can be accomplished on Mario 64 now.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Mario 64 is becoming more and more an actual development platform. This is wild

[@Pokehero]

This is quite literally the best sm64 hack I've ever seen

[@PewnyPL]

The one hack I caught during the stream. Considering the voting after it, I will be highly surprised if this one doesn't win this comp.

[@logand450]

"Rom hack" my ass, this dude reverse engineered this game.

[@CheerUpCrewcut]

That was fucking sick, wow. Made good use of the engine while providing neat visual flair for the transitions, and of course, sploosh kaboom.

[@Changanator]

0:48 this gave me flashbacks

[@henriko95]

This is for sure my favorite. The others are fun but all feels like Mario. The hack is for sure something that changes the gameplay so completely that it is worthy of a reward

[@bingchilling3914]

I'm amazed how good the Wario AI in the shooting game is.

[@Thougar]

So, this wins the comp right? Cause I have never seen such a crazy rom hack before.

[@GigaBoost]

This is too cool and too well made

oh looking at these SM64 Wario Ware minigames makes me wish there was a Wario Ware Melee Minigame training hack

NO WAY someone made this. Actual banger hack, I died laughing seeing that second minigame LOL Also can we talk about how they snuck in chrono trigger music during the red coin challenge

[@solidzack]

It's frustrating for precise platforming where one mistook input leads to death due to no recovering options like in Sunshine, Galaxy or Odyssey. But in environments where precise platforming isn't focused on the SM64 engine just feels so satisfying. It has a lot of schmoove potential without feeling overly clunky and frustrating to use like Sunshine. So much that I ended up missing atleast one mechanic in every other 3D mario game, like Diving, Long Jumping or jump kicking

[@1uohdh2]

This is actually nuts

Will this game get updated in the future or will we have to settle with the competition version? I'm genuinely addicted by this hack, it's incredible how this basically plays like a standalone game
