Everything is better together, especially video games. What if we could turn one of the most nostalgia-inducing single-player experiences into a two-player adventure?
A hack released Wednesday allows two players to explore the massive world of Super Mario 64 together. The hack was released by a gamer named Skelux, and allows players to control two different versions of Mario.
The hack is only playable on ROM versions of Super Mario 64, so you'll need a Nintendo 64 emulator to run them. YouTube comments on the above video indicate some players have already been able to run the game successfully.
Skelux's website mentions other hack projects he's worked on, including a new version of Super Mario 64 with 120 brand new stars to unlock.
Super Mario 64 was released in September of 1996 as one of the launch titles for the Nintendo 64. It was the first Mario adventure to feature 3D environments. In it, Mario had to collect between 70 and 120 stars to save Princess Peach from Bowser.
