If you're planning to boot up Super Mario 64 Online, do so now.

Think of it like Mario Party where you make the rules. But idle hands are the devil's playground, and stuffing a bunch of your friends in what's supposed to be a single-player game makes for a wild sandbox. Sure, the game's content is unchanged, so having multiple players likely makes acquiring stars and advancing through the story easier - if that's your only goal. After that, it's off to the races for you and your friends to fiddle around Super Mario 64's original levels with a sprawling cast of characters, all with different abilities. The project requires a little tinkering with settings (tutorial video here) and drawing straws to see who will host your game session. But given Nintendo's extremely low tolerance for unauthorized versions of its games, play it now before the company DMCA's it off the internet.īuilt by modders Kaze Emanuar, Melonspeedruns and Marshivolt, Super Mario 64 Online is a tool that modifies a running version of the game playing in a ROM, so you'll need emulator software that plays N64 games. A new fan project has taken that collective nostalgia to another level with a downloadable version of the game allowing up to 24 friends to play through the (formerly) single-player adventure.

If anything deserves the honor of closing Mario Kart 8‘s life out, it’s this.Super Mario 64 turned 21 years old back in June, but the classic title lives on in the hearts and minds of players. It’s not just one of the best versions of Rainbow Road, but one of Mario Kart’s best tracks period. Beyond that, though, the Wii’s Rainbow Road is a colorful space odyssey filled with boost gates, branching paths, shortcuts, and spectacular jumps. The excellent track gets the edge thanks in no small part to its Super Mario Galaxy theming, giving it even more star power than usual.

It’s a toss-up between the Double Dash and Wii versions, but the latter gets my vote. While there are several iterations of Rainbow Road already in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it’s only fitting that its final track be another incarnation of it. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) walkthrough - Rainbow Road
