Yo. It has been a long, long while since my last appearance but I'm going to announce a project I'm working on.



Super Mario Apocalypse is a remake of a SM64 ROM Hack of the same name originally created by LouderMonkeyBoy, featuring a total of 100 brand new stars with revised visuals, custom assets, extras and many more!


The story so far:

In an alternate timeline, the Mushroom Kingdom has fallen in disaster after Mario was killed in action against Bowser. Eventually, Bowser has since ruled over the kingdom with no one able to stop his evil tyranny.

However, a stranded ghost has taken possession of Mario's lifeless body from his tomb. By learning from his mistakes, he is seeking revenge and tries to foil Bowser's evil plan with his new aide.

Will Mario be able to save the Mushroom Kingdom in time, or, fail once more?

The basis of this project was me loving the original hack and done a lot of speedruns (which I still own), and the premise is that it was affected not only by technical issues on end but also in the gameplay. The hack is in development since Summer 2019 and has encountered a lot of improvements and setbacks using multiple tools with a 100% complete progress (it was showcased in private livestreams/playtests) so I have quite the time to finish it before release.

Anyway, what can it not be a tease without the teaser?



....uh, y-yeah. Actually, the screenshots will be worth the attention to prevent the bigger spoils.


The ghost aka (Mario?) rising from the grave


A desolate homeland filled with fragments of war


In the breach of time, the only place to rebuild fate


Trespassing Bowser's territory


Nostalgic adventures alike yet soon to be seeked


Escape from jail and survive for freedom

=========

Side note: it occurs to me that I left another hack thread without giving a final update so I might as well bump it to get this over with. Or rather, might not come back with any further projects ahead.

RELEASED TODAY!



Super Mario Apocalypse is now playable on a N64 emulator (console-compatible soon; will have a .wad file to be supported on other systems)
