Major SM64 hack: Super Mario 64 Imprisoned Stars (140 stars) (DEMO RELEASED on 6-26-16)

I have been working on an SM64 hack for about 9 months now and I decided to show off some of my progress! Right now I've completed courses 1-8 and 10, along with some of the side levels that I won't spoil yet. Here are some screenshots and some course names:

Course 1: Desert Cliffs (finished)





Course 2: Snowy Village (finished)






Course 3: Beachside Cliff (finished)



Course 4: Deep Diving Lagoon (finished)




Course 5: Toad Town (finished)



Course 6: Poison Valley (finished)





Course 7: Bubbling Magma Sea (finished)





Course 8: Underground Mine (finished)



Course 9: Icy Desert (half ice, half desert level) (working in TT64)
Course 10: Gloomy Forest Valley (finished)





Course 11: Challenge Colosseum (working in sketchup)
Course 12: Sizzling Lava Lake (working in sketchup)
Course 13: Old Abandoned Harbor (working in sketchup)
Course 14: Bowser's Ztar Factory (not started)
Course 15: Bowser's Quicksand Complex (not started)
Wing Cap (finished)
Metal Cap (it's one of the larger side levels so I decided to show it):






Vanish Cap (not started)
Bonus level 1 (not started)
Bonus level 2 (working in sketchup)
Bonus level 3 (not started)
Bowser 1 (not started)
Bowser 2 (not started)
Bowser 3 (not started)
Overworld 1 (not started)
Overworld 2 (not started)
Overworld 3 (not started)

I have completed the first two bowser levels and a few of the other side levels. I won't spoil their names as it could give away where they're hidden (this is especially true for my Metal cap stage).

I am planning on this hack having 140 Power Stars to collect.

Check this thread periodically as I will post new screenshots here and keep it up to date.

Really looks nice so far! Great job on it! I love the beach level.
Congratulations! You have just met BroDute's number 1 fangirl.


I have a name of the hack!

How about, "Super Mario 64: Mystery Castle" or "Super Mario: Mystery Dungeon".

You think it's not Pokemon! What other ideas?

And I think the name "Super Mario: Mystery Dungeon" sounds like a very nice idea for a name.

Really the only thing I can mention is that you should try to not use default SM64 textures due to making your levels look nothing special.

Good places to find textures is Here and Here.

Yeah, try not to use the default SM64 textures, as it will look like regular SM64 levels. Also, some textures I saw looked oversized or they repeated way too many times. You can fix this by going into sketchup, right clicking on a face, and selecting Texture > Position to fix the texture. This will help your models look more detailed and your textures will be placed in a way that looks good. #thp{!!!}

... What's wrong with a "vanilla SM64" hack?
I'm sure there is nothing wrong but using different textures gives the hack a bit more pizzazz.
Congratulations! You have just met BroDute's number 1 fangirl.


Still, I think that hacks that maintain the original feel and looks of SM64 should be welcomed, not written off.
I don't think that they were trying to write it off and say that it is a bad idea. I think they were trying to be helpful.

I just feel that if nintendo would've made another level or mario 64 game they would've kept the reusing of old textures to a minimum.

No, clearly not the case, because it's Nintendo.

Just look at the NSMB series, they've recycled a lot of textures.
Small update: I have started working on course 2 and I'm pretty much done with the model; I just need to add objects. It's an easy, fairly small snow level. Once all objects are in place I'll post some in-game screenshots.

So if its small, does that mean its a mini-level or a secret level?

No, it is still a full level with 6 stars plus 100 coins. To be honest, I should probably make it a bit bigger.

Yeah. If it is a full level you should probably make it as big as the other levels.

Okay, I'll add some more to it and make it a little bigger.

3 things:

1) Course 2 is done! See the first post for screenshots of that. Course 5 is up next.

2) I decided to try and edit the textures of some of the objects in the game. I started with the !-boxes. Here's a vanish and metal cap from course 8:

The red and yellow boxes look like this too. I will edit some of the other textures as well, in the future, but for now let me know what you think of those.

3) Speaking of metal caps, does anybody know of a good .m64 that would fit the metal cap theme? I can't find any good ones that haven't already been used in other hacks.

I like how the boxes came out. They just seem to pop out more then the original!
