Plutonium Mario 64 is a major ROM hack made by usernamesarespiders, featuring 12 main courses and a total of 101 Stars.
Originally dubbed Pluto Mario 64, this was an old Super Mario World ROM hack the creator made years in the past, but never was publicly released until it was redeveloped as a Super Mario 64 ROM hack. It was named after the dwarf planet orbiting from the Sun (you know the one), before deciding to name it after the chemical element, Plutonium.
This hack is the second game which takes place in a uncommon land after Indigo Island, and similar to the Yoshi's Adventure series and Cup series, almost all the courses are accessible from the main overworld.
Aesthetic differences include different icons for Stars and coins, and the X and digits to the right of these icons. Bob-ombs also have many different colorations, such as mint green and purple. Signs are white instead of brown, and ! boxes have had their appearance altered in both solid and transparent forms.
The following sequel, Uranium Mario 64, is released on August 2024 as the kaizo version of the game.
Plot[]
Arriving in a strange valley, Mario explores the strange enigmatic land of Pluto, collecting Stars, and aiming to return home.
