SM64 Master Quest -1: The Mourning of Toadstool (or Master Quest -1 for short) is a mini ROM hack created by Cavin856 and released on the end of July 2020. Following Master Quest 2 Two, it is the fourth installment of the series and the prequel of SM64 Master Quest, hence the "minus" and is marked as a liner to the extreme kaizo scale.
It features 6 short levels and 15 Stars. Despite its length, most of the stars are extremely difficult and require a lot of precision, as this game demands enough patience and practice. Beating the game 100% is not obligatory as the Intended Any% is 10 stars.
Plot[]
Princess Peach has passed away from a terrible accident. Mario isn't letting that loss go, so he is devoted to turn the tides of time with a bit of deadly sin.
