Super Mario 64 FPS

About

Super Mario 64 FPS reimagines the classic 3D platformer through a first-person lens. Instead of hopping around as Mario, you aim and shoot from his perspective, turning familiar levels into combat zones. The game keeps the open-area exploration of the original but adds gunplay mechanics, letting you blast enemies while navigating iconic environments like Bob-omb Battlefield or Wet-Dry World. Movement feels tight for a fan project, and the retro aesthetic holds up with modern control tweaks. The project runs on Unity and works across PC, Mac, and Linux. While not officially licensed, it leans into its DIY charm, offering a fresh angle for longtime fans. Community feedback on forums highlights the novelty of playing a Nintendo staple this way, though technical polish remains uneven. Released in 2020, it’s a niche experiment that lives online in modding circles. Shorter than the original, it still manages to capture the spirit of adventure through Mario’s eyes, just with a rifle in hand.
