A surprising mod makes it possible to imagine what the last episode of the Nintendo Switch saga would have been like on Nintendo 64 more than twenty years ago.
The modder community surprises the Nintendo community again. Kaze Emanuar, a well-known retro game modifier, has managed to recreate Super Mario Odyssey using Super Mario 64 as the base, the original Nintendo 64 game that remains for many one of the greatest historical references in the 3D platform genre.
This unofficial modification picks up the witness of his previous works, where Super Mario Sunshine 64 or Super Mario 64 Online stand out, which allows you to play online with twenty people to the budding title. This time, future and past converge in this reimagining of the popular Nintendo Switch video game, which allows us to photograph on the move what Mario's odyssey would have been like with the Moon and the Odyssey spacecraft in N64.
As we see in the video that he has shared on his YouTube channel, the recreation includes practically all the most emblematic levels of the game and gives prominence to Cappy's transformation possibilities. Furthermore, apart from modeling all the scenarios using the original graphics engine of Super Mario 64, there is also a sound adaptation of the main theme Jump Up, Super Star !.
Super Mario Odyssey, one of the biggest successes of Nintendo Switch
The community has taken advantage of Super Mario Odyssey for a multitude of projects and purposes. The artistic section of the game caught the attention of a professional photographer, Dan Cordero, who made his own album with dozens of scenes where he told through images the plumber's latest expertise on Nintendo Switch, a six-month project that you can see here.
Since its launch in late 2017, Super Mario Odyssey has become one of the most successful titles on the Nintendo Switch. Right now – until December 31, 2019 as the last updated data – the game has sold more than 16.59 million copies worldwide; only behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is de facto the best-selling 3D Mario ever.
