Super Mario 64 helped define what a 3D platformer could be, with analog movement, open-ended levels, and a camera that was ambitious for its time. Add Nintendo\u2019s recent interest in Nintendo 64-era games like Star Fox 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and the idea of Super Mario 64 coming back doesn\u2019t feel far-fetched. <strong>Just not close.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And most fans aren\u2019t talking about a basic visual touch-up. They want <strong>rebuilt graphics<\/strong>, tighter controls, a much better camera, improved audio, and maybe even some extra or restored content. That\u2019s even more true because 2004\u2019s Super Mario 64 DS left fans split over its control scheme and design changes, while 2020\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/super-mario-3d-all-stars.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/a> was, in practice, just an enhanced port.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re hoping Nintendo does it, this is the kind of thing to watch, but it still shouldn\u2019t be treated like <strong>actual news<\/strong>. Any real Super Mario 64 remake would need to clean up the game\u2019s dated parts without sanding off what made the original special in the first place. Fan mods and unofficial remakes have already made one thing pretty clear: people want this. Even if Nintendo usually shuts those projects down.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the only versions of Super Mario 64 you can get are the ones already available on Nintendo platforms. There isn\u2019t <strong>a new Super Mario 64 remake<\/strong> to download.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Project64\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0666437a-96d4-11e6-9bc3-00163ec9f5fa\/3963976612\/project64-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Project64<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/project64.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/project64.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors about a Super Mario 64 remake are starting to circulate again as the game\u2019s 30th anniversary in North America gets closer on Sept. 26, 2026.
