(Hey guys, should probably let you know that I'm not proceeding with this mod anymore, as I'm not interested in doing SM64DS mods for the foreseeable future.)

Hello everyone! I come here to share you guys my newest hack (and first for Super Mario 64 DS) and it is a port of Super Mario 64: Superstar Saga!(Thread located here --> http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=69144) And so far, I have sort of imported the Castle Town HUB (currently imported to Bob-Omb's Battlefield for now).







I'll have more pictures to come as soon as I import more levels, and fix bugs! Next level I will show will be Stardust Fields.

Aren't there any other textures you could use? Those look kind of ugly. The models also look a bit low-poly, but it's a pretty good start

Unless I can recreate the original sprites from the GBA version, or get someone to help me with that, I could try.

So is this just going to be a version of SM64/DS with places from Superstar Saga as stages?

Or are you actually somehow going to turn this into a RPG game or have RPG elements (like Super Paper Mario).

I'm assuming it's the first thing I mentioned, but looks cool anyway. I like the idea (now someone just needs to import Luigi's Mansion into a 3D Mario game.....)

Yeah, it's the first one.

You'll have to add extra details to the models to make up for the original game's fixed camera design. There'll be a lot of environments where there would have been something beyond the screen and you'll want to update the graphics because 2D tilesets from a 16-Bit console simply won't transfer into a 3D game engine well.

Yeah, I agree. I'll try and get some modeling help and with textures as well.

I don't think this is being worked on anymore. :I

It's on hold, I'm currently working on the 64 version and when that's finished, work on the DS remake will resume.

I might could help with textures if you still needed help with those. I'd be happy to design some custom tiles if it's needed.

Make some sample textures and I might definitely consider it.

Anything in particular you had in mind?

Try recreating some of M&L:SS's terrain sprites into higher quality textures. (Try some from Stardust Fields, etc)

(Limitations for N64 textures are either 32x32, 64x32 or 32x64)
