Tomatobird8's Single Star Speedruns
Hello guys, today I make this article in order to present you something : a romhack. Why do I present this one and not others? That's true, there are several hacks which got released before. Well, lemme explain.
What is this hack?
This Super Mario 64 romhack is a simply-made hack. It contains only one level with 8 stars in it (the 7 regular ones and an "extra star". This is not an hard hack, as it is meant to be enjoyable by anybody.
Who made it?
This hack was made by Tomatobird8. He is a chill guy and has some skills... well, at least that's what speedrun.com says (profile).
Why did he make it? What were his intentions?
For this, I directly ask him some questions. Here are the answers :
What are my personal thoughts about this hack?
I really enjoy it. I am not a person who likes to speedrun games or anything. For me, in general, Super Mario 64 hacks are huge with many stars, and I dislike learning routes and strategies : it bores me. But this one is particular : it is a little hack with only one level, which is small with diversified biomes and gameplays (grass, sand and water). The timer is directly included with the hack, so there is nothing more to do : just open your emulator and give your best.
The level is small, the level design is simple but you can keep playing hours just to get the best time for a star. This is addictive. For these reasons I enjoy it. However, as it is a small hack, it has a small life. But it's sufficient to keep you playing for several hours anyway.
