This makes the game very difficult to run at 60 FPS on all but the most powerful computers. Gauntlet Dark Legacy requires setting the framelimit to 120 and setting the CPU Clock Override value to 300 - 400% (!) in order to maintain 60 FPS at all times, and even then some animations are a tiny bit strange due to running at 30 FPS with no interpolation. Pikmin 2 is completely playable with just the patch, but some cutscenes seem to play at double speed. On another note, ehw also came up with more hacks for Pikmin 2 and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Super Mario Sunshine is an absolute joy to play at 60 FPS, and fans of the game should truly enjoy the work put forth. There is also a 120 FPS hack for those with high framerate monitors and T.V.s, but it breaks things just like the smoother variant of the 60 FPS hack. For a more technical, the creator wrote an explanation on the inner workings of the process and final patch.ĭepending on the value of the patch, you can get a near perfect 60 FPS hack where the game is completable, or an even smoother variant that breaks certain stage portals. This is the key ingredient that makes it all work.
Super Mario Sunshine Higher FPS Patches ¶Ġx804167B8:dword:0x3F600000 - Slightly slower 60 FPS Patch, but runs perfectly.Ġx804167B8:dword:0x3F800000 - even smoother 60 FPS Patch, but breaks things.Ġx804167B8:dword:0x40000000 - 120 FPS hack for those with high framerate monitors.īy applying patch into Dolphin's INI and then enabling it, along with the steps above, Super Mario Sunshine will run at 60 FPS. Lastly, on some versions of the hack, the level select cheat is required to get into certain stages. Thirdly, Dolphin's audio timings are modified to run at half speed so the game also sounds normal at double speed. This actually makes the gameplay run half speed at 30 FPS. It's possible that simply flipping Dolphin's framelimit to run at 120 FPS would be fine, but the emulator stretches audio at non-standard framerates, blocking this possiblity for now. Firstly, the vbeam speedhack has to be turned on in order to modify the timings of the emulator. Super Mario Sunshine's current 60 FPS hack comprises of three (and an optional fourth) part. Still, I have played hundreds and I mean hundreds of amazingly creative levels and the community that is around this game is really cool.Watch in 1080p60 for the best experience!
It is always annoying when you download a level thinking it will be fun, but then it turns out it is not fun. I do think that some people go too far in trying to create a level that shows how smart they are rather than making a fun level and this is my main criticism of the game. How people come up with these things is beyond me, but it does make for some interesting levels. Some of the levels that you will download in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS are just crazy. I actually spent a lot of time playing these Nintendo created levels and had a great time doing so.
Plus it is always a good thing to have some 2D Super Mario levels to play through.
By beating the different Nintendo levels you get a better idea of what works and what does not work when it comes to making levels. Nintendo has created a lot of levels for this game and there is a little bit of a “quest mode” that you can play through. This is to stop people from uploading levels that are unbeatable so I do feel that it is fair. actually you have to play through your level once from start to beginning before you can upload it. Once you have created your own masterpiece of a level you can upload it so other players can try and beat it…. You really do have a lot of choice at your fingertips when it comes to creating your world. You also have the choice of above ground, underground, water, ghost house, airship and Bowser castle levels to create. It is very clever and it also makes you think about the kind of level that you want to create. Each game has its own art style as well as differences in the enemies and the things that you can place in the world.įor example, if you place Bowser in New Super Mario Bros then you switch the level to the original Super Mario Bros he is going to look and behave differently. You can make games based on Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. One thing that is really neat about Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is the way it lets you make four different Mario games.
