Super Mario 64is beloved by many and considered one of thebestSuper Mariotitlesof all time. The game is practically infinitely replayable and arguably still holds up to this day nearly 25 years after it first released. Players continue to enjoy it for speedrunning purposes, mods, and more. Most recently, a fan-madeSuper Mario 64project has appeared online for PC that brings the game up to date with a bevy of new features and updated visuals.
Super Mario 64was most recently made available inside of the enjoyed andwell-receivedSuper Mario 3D All-Starsfor the Nintendo Switch. But as of July 21, 2025, the game is no longer for sale (other than a few retailers selling the last in-stock copies). So fans are back to only being able to playSuper Mario 64on older consoles–or in the case of this fan-made project–through special creations from indie developers.

Creator MorsGames has madeSuper Mario 64 Plusand shared it online with fans. The download is available right now for anyone to play for PC, and a video is live on YouTube explaining what the game is. Not only is it the baseSuper Mario 64game for PC that many have come to know and love, but it is also filled with additional features.
One of the more interesting features ofSuper Mario 64 Plusis its permadeath mode that can be toggled on and off, which can bring an extra challenge to the game. The game also has some features that would make it closer toSuper Mario Odysseylike an additional moveset for Mario and even the ability to continue playing after collecting a star, which allows players to truly explore like never before. For many,combiningSuper Mario 64andSuper Mario Odysseywould make a perfectMariotitle, so these features in one game make for an excellent idea.
Along with allowing the player to do things thatSuper Mario 64could never do before, the game also simply has enhanced features that improve the experience like more responsive controls, a better camera, 60 FPS, bug fixes, and more. A lot of this is what players were hoping for when Nintendo revealedSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, as opposed to the game mostly being a port to the Nintendo Switch.
Along with the game itself,Super Mario 64modsand fan-made versions of the game help keep the game alive. Of course, many would be happy to play the standard experience itself if Nintendo were to keep it on the Nintendo Switch without removing it from stores. Many also wonder if this newSuper Mario 64 Plusgame will be taken down by Nintendo, as The Big N has seized fan-made experiences in the past. But for now, the game is quite the adventure to take advantage of.
