Mario's Vacation Course
Reonu's open-world Super Mario 64 hack where Mario starts without his moves, even the jump, and wins them back star by star.
What it is
Mario's Vacation Course is a 30-star Super Mario 64 hack by Reonu. Mario has been off on holiday so long that he no longer remembers how to move properly, so each star brings back one of his abilities. Instead of separate painting worlds, everything sits in one connected beach-themed map, an approach that takes its cue from Bowser's Fury. The hack won first place in a community hacking contest in 2021.
Versions
It was updated many times after release. Versions 1.5 to 1.7.2 run without the Expansion Pak; the newer Anniversary Edition needs it again. It works well on real hardware, and the source code is public on Reonu's GitHub.
Playing it
Patch your own Super Mario 64 (US) ROM with the file from its Romhacking.com page, where every version is listed. Made by Reonu.
