"this games kinda bad, it was done in less than 2 weeks with 122 Stars and i dont even have the file for it anymore... dont even bother." - Kaze Emanuar
SM64 Madness is a major ROM hack created by Kaze Emanuar (formerly KazeBG0) on November 2012. This hack marks Kaze Emanuar's romhacking debut and was reputed to be relatively bad for its lack of level design and awful difficulty curve. While filled with over 15 levels and 122 Stars, it also contains a broken camera control, terrible soundtrack, obnoxious design visuals and, BEWARE, very mature and profanity in dialogue boxes.
A QoL update patch is planned out soon by Mushie64 to fix all issues as seen across the game.
Plot[]
This game has no story. Mario goes into a spiraling madness and decides to "destroy" Bowser for once and all. ...yup.
