Remember Super Mario 64 Unity? Someone’s Made it Even Better!

A few days ago, we brought you news that someone had recreated the first level of Mario 64 in unity, which you can play in your browser! Just three days later and the game is back yet again and it’s better than ever!

Redditor ‘verietygamer’ has been playing with the source code for the game and has released an overhauled version of it.

The new release offers up improved lighting and shadows, HDR, Depth of Field, Edge Shading, Volumetric Clouds, Specular Bump Mapping and improved textures; impressive!

You can download and play the new version right here.

Thank you DSO for providing us with this information.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
