In 1996, Super Mario 64 made its release on the N64. Now it has been updated to meet 21st century standards, and boy does it look good. Erik Ross, a computer science student, created a Custom Character Controller from scratch for Unity. This controller fulfills common character functions like pushback, detection, slope limiting and collider ignoring.
Basically, it's a Unity developer tool. To demonstrate his project, Ross recreated Super Mario 64's first level, Bob-Omb Battlefield.
Everything is just as you remember it, except a little more awesome. The video of the recreation went viral over the weekend. Does that mean there's room for a remake in the community? Would a Super Mario 64 HD remake work today?
Nintendo should find out by releasing it on the Wii U:
If you want to try out the first level, you can! Download it here on Windows, Mac or Linux.
